Malcome X

QFDJ:
1. I believe Malcome's audience is directed towards African Americans. He refers to a person in the text as "white man" and discusses his struggles going through slavery.
3. Growing up, Malcome had many sponsors. Whether it was people or institutions. Such as in prison, he had books and magazines and other things that sponsored him through that time. He used the library while he was in jail. That was always a quiet place for him to work, read, and concentrate.
6. Motivation has a huge role in life. If you don't have interest in something, you're not going to have the motivation to do it. For me, I am a firm believer that in order to succeed in something, you need to have motivation to do it, and to have that motivation you have to like what you are going to do. I do not like to read, so my motivation to sit down and read is very small. Where as if I liked to read, I would have more motivation to sit down and read, rather than forcing myself to do it.

Applying and Exploring:
1.I believe that internet literacy has completely changed throughout the years and have made people illiterate. Peoples literacy over the internet has completely changed over the past few years. Now people have completely different langue over the internet that is almost a "lazy" langue. They use abbreviations and incorrect grammar.
2. My most influenced sponsor would defiantly have to be my mom. She has taught me everything I need to know. Another influence that helped impact her on me, is she is an english teacher. Still to this day, she is constantly correcting me on different things. Honestly without her I would not be as literate as I am today.

MM:
The most important thing i think my teacher would say about Malcome's writing is that you can achieve literacy from anywhere. Even if you are in some of the poorest or worst parts of your life, you can still achieve some of that literacy.

A&E:
1. I believe some people can overcome poverty, but only in a certain way. No matter what, you're still going to have that background that you did go through poverty; even if you get through it. Some people  don't have the same goals as others, but I believe if you have the motivation, you can most certainly overcome poverty.
