Douglass, Malcolm x and Jiang are all educational narratives because they all talk about their past struggles. They talk about what they went through to become who are they are. Their stories were told over time and those who had been through the same experiences as them or could relate to them found them useful. All three of these stories were very different , but even though it was all different it lead up to the same goal. We learn how Douglass reads and writes while he was a slave in his story. In Malcolm’s story we learn how he teaches himself how to read and write while incarcerated. Jiang’s story we see that she studies and becomes inspired from art while a revolution takes place.
