Malcolm X

Malcolm X's narrative "Learning to Read," was very different then the first two narratives. Of course there is the difference in experiences, Malcolm's had nothing to do with computers, while both Feross and Joshua's did. However, I felt the style of writing was very different between the two sets. Malcolm told his experience as a story, which I found much more interesting to read then the other narratives, which were more explanatory. I will probably take my narrative in a direction similar to "Learning to Read," rather then "How I Learned to Program Computers" or "How I Learned to Live Google Free," because I found it much more interesting to read. I felt it connected better with the audience. One reason being that everybody reading it has learned to read, but the important thing for me, as a future education narrative writer, to get from it is the style used. I still plan to use aspects from the first two narratives. I hope to come up with a more creative title then all three of the narratives. Hopefully one not including the word "learned," but if it comes down to it I will. Even so, I refuse to have "How I" in front of it.
