Malcolm X

After reading the chapters about Malcolm's life in Harlem, I was amazed on how much he had changed since the beginning of the book. I had practically forgotten and could hardly recall most of what I read about him prior to all the drugs and robberies. I can't say that I wasn't expecting most of it to happen, but it still surprised me. He used to be an innocent unfortunate kid, but as his jobs became more and more illegal, his lifestyle not only changed but his personality too. When he put the gun at his head declaring that he's not afraid to die, he had changed so much that he even Shorty, Rudy, Sophia and her sister looked at him with fear, thinking he was crazy. Then, when he was sent to prison, it was like he changed again, just asquick as before, but towards a more religious lifestyle.

Hi Talin, Good start but you need to really bring in the personal connection here. How does this relate to your life, your interests, etc.? Add that and some related content from the web!
