After reading an excerpt of Malcolm X’s autobiography, I felt that I could relate in regards to self-education. There have been countless times where I wanted to learn more about something and looked it up on Google or made a stop to the library to find what I was looking for. The curiosity and thirst for more knowledge is a part of self-education. Malcolm X had the drive, motivation, and passion to learn to read because he wanted to be able to express himself in letters that he wrote.
I felt like this excerpt was better than the last two articles because it kept me interested and I felt like I was able to relate more to this article. Everyone learns to read at some point in their life so reading this excerpt from Malcolm X help me put into perspective how hard it must have been for him. I think this excerpt and the last two articles were easy to read and it did aim toward a wide-ranging audience. It wasn’t too formal and he did write about a significant educational experience in his life. His persistence to learn how to read is very admirable and I feel that it has inspired me to go out and learn about something I don’t know about.

Good observations as to how Malcolm X's essay fits with the first paper assignment! It is amazing how easy it is for us to access knowledge today, as opposed to how difficult it was for Malcolm X, both because he didn't have access to the internet (it wasn't even invented) and because he was in prison--plus he didn't even know how to read at first!
