I found that the article :" Malcolm X's Learning to Read" was well written, easy to understand and straight to the point.
I was very intrigued by Malcolm's story and what he eventually accomplished. He set a goal and worked very hard to reach it. It's similar to what Joshua did. He also set a goal and was determined to keep working at it until he had completed the task. But Malcolm's experiences are more personal, more heartfelt, and extend over a much longer time frame than Joshua's. And above all I found his topic of choice much more interesting than Joshua's and Feross's combined. Now in Feross's case the situation is different because he never really set himself a goal to achieve success. Instead, he had a passion for designing Websites, so basically through practice, skill and with a little luck, his hobby eventually made him successful and become a hit. What I like about all three stories is that, each man kept at what he was doing and did not give up, no matter how long it took. I will strive to work hard on my papers as well and not give up easily. This particular essay was definitely very inspirational to me. I look forward to reading Mike Rose's "I Just Wanna Be Average" article next and compare it to Malcolm's writing.
Good work here, Anja, and I really like what you wrote about Ferros's blog! Great "take-away" from his essay!
