MalcomeX: QFD&J
1. I believe Malcolm’s intended audience is African
American’s because he emphasis his struggles of growing up as a slave, and
being denied many things due to his race.
3. Malcolm X had many sponsors including people and
institutions. Including Alex Haley who he narrated his autobiography. Other
people include Mr. Elijah Muhammad, his visitors Ella and Reginald. Institutional sponsors include Charlestown prison,
where Bimbi made him envy his knowledge, a dictionary, his correspondence and
his reading of many books. Including, Will Durant’s, Story of civilization; The
new York Times; Parkhurt’s collection; Nat Turner; Herodotus, the father of
history; Half a billion people, about deeply religious brown people, and then
he started to study philosophy. I think his most influential sponsor was Mr. Muhammad,
which could be considered a very strange answer. I believe Mr. Muhammad gave
Malcolm X, a lot of respect and appreciation based on how ignorantly and highly
he praised white people. I’m not sure where his wisdom is derived from, but his
mad teaching changed Malcolm X. Basically the whole concept of prison itself
changed him.
6. Malcolm X went through a lot in his life and experienced
many things no one should ever see. He
had a lot of motivation to back up his readings, and personality reading is so
hard for me. My mom used to read to me as a kid and maybe that’s why I don’t
like it right now. Reading is fine; I just have really specific taste in
reading. Although I have had many reading lists, with very shitty books, it’s
very unfortunate.
Applying and
Exploring
1. This is a very touchy subject, in today’s world, oh the
Internet. How it has changed our lives so much, and made Americans ignorant to
literacy. I’ve read studies about how the internet has made Americans ignorant
about the speed, and that too much information is coming to our brains any the
same time, making it unbeneficial, in some aspects. We’ve have become a very Illiterate
America.
2. Okay, Dr. Kapela, I currently don’t think I can elaborate
a whole page on this, but I’ll try. I am still young and consider your class my
literacy sponsor. I’ve hated English class my whole life, and I actually like
your class. I’ve actually learned good tools I can use in English. I always receive
good grades in general, but English is the hardest class. You have taught me so
much about English, and this year isn’t even half way over. I really appreciate
how much you made me appreciate English.
Meta- Moment
I feel my teacher would say his literary sources are the
most important idea and I would agree with that statement. They were his
motivation to everything he is today.
Alexie: applying and
exploring ideas
1. I do not believe every person can overcome poverty; this
is kind of ridiculous to assume. Although determination can be major part of succeeding,
so is talent. I’m sure everyone can think of someone that is fully submerged in
a career path, which you know they have no talent, but heart? It takes a lot to
make it to the top, and you got to have ‘it’ to get there.
Bell: As you read
1. I have a lot of memories which, I have fictionalized and
many I don’t even remember. Ids rather
not name anything specific or personal. Although, my brother, my cousins and
myself were all very close as children growing up and I have many fond memories
which were very different than what they recall. I believe it is because of my
somewhat more creative brain.
QFD&J
4. Bell means by the word, “kill” in her writings was, as a
child growing up she was punished for speaking things not meant to be spoken.
Referring to her sisters Gloria’s suicidal past. She felt the bond was lost or
broken in telling. Her autobiographies were written in memory of her mother’s
hope chest. She did learn to gain knowledge, and self-growth though the
autobiography of others.
Applying and
Exploring
3. Typically there are many horrible parts of every
traumatic event the storyteller would wish to delete. So I feel most people,
writing a story tend to change it solely because there appearance might be
embarrassing. On the hand you really
could have been traumatized and actually forgot the event.
