Malcolm X's story left a profound resonance with me. I have always remember studying on Malcolm X but never read any of his work. A regret I would instantly realize!
His demeanor calm, laid back but vividly strong. I could read his words all day. I love how he doesn't leave a detail out. Engulfing the reader into his realm as he recreates it in front of your eyes. As if I was there opposite of him in a room, a study, or maybe an auditorium filled with guests as he pressed on about his experiences. His ability to show his enthusiasm of learning to read really came to life. I like the idea that he took one moment and expanded on it effortlessly. Maybe he knew his text would outlive his life and he was determined to capture every second of his memory and transplant it into his audience.
I would like to use his technique of all the vivid details into my paper. I feel like after each story we read I gain a better understanding on how different techniques to use. With Malcolm X it was his detailed account. I probably wouldn't come close but this piece gave me the impression that personal experiences that are vivid enough will gain more ground with readers.
