Malcolm X DJ 8

Pg. 29
"English and history were the subjects I liked most. my english teacher, I recall-a Mr. Ostrowski- was always giving advice on how to become something in life."

This is slightly ironic. With his knowledge of english and history, while in jail, it helped him become something in life. He was able to write and preform the amazing speeches, that helped persuade people to stand up for their rights and make a change. While in jail he read anything he could, when he got transferred, he started to read the dictionary and copy all of the words down, starting with aardvark.
