Malcolm All the Way

The narrative that I enjoy the most was Malcolm’s. His style really immerses you into his story. Gives you a little more of a feel for what it was like and what his emotions were. Malcolm showed true dedication to his cause and his will to learn is incredibly admirable. I would love to be able to find that kind of strength in my endeavors. In an excerpt from The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Malcolm refers to how he would dodge guards in order to read, “At one-hour intervals the night guards paced past every room. Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped into bed and feigned sleep.”
He dedicated all his time to reading and lost sleep over it, missed sleep over it. Malcolm claimed, four hours of sleep was enough for him. That is barely any, to repeatedly do that on a nightly basis just sounds crazy unhealthy to me. I know I couldn’t do it. I tried back in Junior High and it just did not work after a while you start to feel sick just being awake. Malcolm’s story spoke a lot to me. There is so much you can take away from it. The man is such an inspiration in many fields. No doubt in my mind that it was my favorite.
