According to Malcolm X, 1964 was
considered the most spontaneous year in history due to the fact that it was a
political year. False promises were given to African-Americans only to serve as
let downs from white politicians. Promises of equality and living conditions in
a safe police state were false. African-Americans felt that the police were
around to be to frighten and be against them instead of providing genuine aid
when necessary. Malcolm believed that a man would be better off fighting for
civil rights than for him to be sent off to Korea to battle against 800 million
Chinese. Malcolm felt that people like commissioner Murphy would encourage
White people to think that they can beat or suppress African-Americans. He says
that the hostility towards black people instilled within them feeling of
resentment. This injustice played a vital role in making Malcolm x feel as if
he wasn’t American, as well as other African-Americans like him.
Malcolm kept up the belief that
it was best to be aware of what you are having a fight over whether it’s for rights
or goals. He wasn’t a specialist in politics, a democratic, or a republican. Americans
were blue eyed, Italian refugees, honkies that were fresh off the boat, and
Polacks.
Hi my name is Pam, I am practicing peer tutor in Prof. Rogers-Coopers Eng.220 class. I thought that your blog was a good start to Eng 101. I know that writing about topics that you are not familiar with can be a hard task, especially keeping up with all the rules that come with writing a paper. I have a couple of suggestions that might help you with this process. I read what you had to write about Malcom X. My first suggestion would be introducing the speech that you are writing about. I have no idea what speech you are using. With this suggestion comes your opening statement your main goal of your opening statement should be introducing Malcom. For example: In 1964 Malcom X gave the speech ______ Malcom X was ________. Keep the focus on him. Once the reader is familiarized with who you are writing about then start breaking down the main ideas of his speech. When you are writing about his speech make sure you focus on structure. It will be good for you to break up what you wrote in different paragraphs. When using paragraphs it allows you to write more about your topic. I would like for you to re-read your final paragraph. Chances are if you read it you will also realize that it does not make any sense.In the last paragraph i feel as if you are quoting Malcom but i cant confirm that because you did not use quotation marks. Your final paragraph is very important, your final paragraph is what ties your entire paper together and you need to make sure it is your strongest paragraph. Try to write about his accomplishments, considering that Malcom's speeches were a movement to empower people, so what did those speeches accomplish ? I hope you found what i wrote a little helpful, if you will like to write back feel free to do so. Good Luck in Eng 101 : )
