paragraph 3 “I had really begun back in the Charlestown Prison, when Bimbi
first made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always
taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I had tried to emulate
him. But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn’t contain
anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have
been in Chinese. When I just skipped those words, of course, I really
ended up with little idea of what the book said. So I had come to the
Norfolk Prison Colony still going through only book-reading motions.
Pretty soon, I would have quit even these motions, unless I had received
the motivation that I did.I saw that the best thing I could do was to get hold of a dictionary to study, to learn some words. I was lucky enough to reason also that I should try to improve my penmanship.
“
Malcom X felt embarrassed every time he heard Bimbi having a conversation. Always tried to match the way he spoke. Learning to read/speak wasn’t easy he couldn’t understand it. It was had to keep any motivation due to the fact he felt like he wasn’t learning anything. Figured the only way he would get better with his vocabulary was by reading a dictionary. Reading and learning to write by hand were the only way he was going to improve his knowledge.
OK — but please see the Annoucnement for Feb 4 where I explained how to do this type of HW task. You have missed quite a few sentences in your explanation. You are to translate each sentence into a sentence of your own words.
Angel — watch out for missing subjects in your sentence.
[Malcolm X] Always tried to match the way he spoke.
