My Comments to Others

1.    (Shelby D) I agree, people tend to take every little thing and create an uproar from it. It's really interesting that you remembered hearing about the broadcast from Orson Welles when you read through that section of the book. Although I don't think I personally heard that quote, I do remember someone talking about it. Anyway, I agree that because of their reactions, citizens from all different places are, in fact, creating more segregation that they will have to later deal with.

P.S. the picture of Miley and Nick made me really happy. They're going to get back together. :]

2.   (Alexa H) I agree that it was such a selfless gesture for Ella to hand over her money to Malcolm. It's truly amazing that someone can give something that he/she's worked so hard on getting to another person to see him/her succeed. The fact that Ella gave her money up for someone else to take her place on the trip makes it that more incredible.

3.   (Danielle W) I agree with you when you say that Malcolm's idea that the white man is the devil. Every person is entitled to his or her own opinions, but Malcolm seems to take things a little too far sometimes. Malcolm and other blacks have the right to be angry with the way they were treated, but Malcolm puts the idea that we are all acting against God and should be punished for it into the heads of people who can not make up their own minds. Malcolm seems too harsh towards the white race. I feel like his message would have gone better if he had kept his cool, instead of putting such harmful words such as the "devil" onto our race.

4.   (Allison L) Allison! That is such an amazing story, that it makes me want to find out more about my family history. I think it is really important to remember that no matter what you believe in, someone is always watching out for you. Whether you believe in God, or Allah, or you don't believe that there is a God, there is always someone there to lead you down the right path.
