(JJ’s Blog) I also believe that the education level of Malcolm's knowledge greatly impacted his life many years later. I think that knowledge is an amazing aspect of life because one gets to learn many new subjects and grow in any way that they wish. Even though knowledge can be a good thing, I also think that an overload of work can cause a downfall. Many people I know work so hard for a living, suddenly getting stressed with the life they are living and give up. I think support is one of the main aspects that one needs to succeed. Malcolm used the help of Muhammad to get through his life in prison and Muhammad began supporting him, turning Malcolm into a very successful preacher.
(Jillian’s Blog) I am also a Christian as well and there are definitely a lot of rules that you need to follow and traditions that are made throughout the years. I do not believe in the Islamic religion at all because then I honestly wouldn't have a life. My life is surrounded with many things, such as dancing, that I could never in my entire life give up because it is just so much fun! Really, how does one live their life like that? To me it would just be torture. The quote that Muhammad made is definitely one that I believe in. I too and big on telling what is right from wrong and if something turns out wrong then it was wrong from the beginning. I also don't think that God punishes you from your sins. I believe that God is making you face your mistakes so that the mistakes are not made again.
(Kimberly’s Blog) I agree with you when you say that Malcolm started off with a horrible life. I think most of the reason for his illegal times was the death of his father and when his mother went crazy. I think he felt that he didn't belong because whites treated him horribly and he really didn't have anyone to look up to. Malcolm picked himself back up when he started reading and I think reading can change anyone. You reminded me of when I was reading the Twilight series and I just couldn't put the books down. Every trip that I went on with my family I would bring my books. The good thing about books that you had mentioned was that it lets you escape reality. Books are great because it can tell different stories about pretty much anything.
(Jamie’s Blog) Malcolm has learned to be a part of the Islamic religion so willingly while he was in prison because that is basically all he could do while he was there. As he took interest in this, he became attached and relied on everything that "Allah" believed in. I remember in class someone said that they do not believe in the Muslim religion, which I don't either. But, the fact that Malcolm can now rely on someone to help him, other than himself, shows that he is now willing to become a better person. I also think that people who want to accomplish something can easily do it as long as they put their minds to it.
