Today i've just finshed reading the autobiography of Malcom X. I overall it was a outstanding book. It has given me knowledge that i have'nt had before on Malcom. Malcom was born on May 19th 1925. Malcom was a very troubled kid growing up he's father died when he was 13, he's mother was declared legally insane, and he was split up from he's brothers and sisters. Malcom also dropped out of school in the eight grade. Malcom has had trouble with the law ever sicnce he was split up from his family. He has been in and out of prison a couple times. But while he was in prison serving his 8 to 10 years he met a guy named John Elton Bembry a self-educated man. John conveniced Malcom to educate himself. While Malcom was in prison he's brother wrote him about the nation of islam. Malcom wasnt really intrested in this nation of islam. After Malcom was released from prison he visited Elijah Muhammad the leader of the black muslims. He then changed his last name from little to "X". In June 1953, Malcolm X was named assistant minister of the Nation of Islam's Temple Number One in Detroit. In 1958 he married betty X. He and betty had six daughters toghether.

Blog Expectations

My name is aleman, which I will personalize and make my own (but not post pics of myself or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the English language. The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, televisions shows, trips to museums, etc. Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that Wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is 196 words. Now it is 200!
