malcom x
malcom was a boy who had two brothers and his oldest brother boxed and was really good at it. He felt that he needed to box too so he tried that but he diddnt do so well; he was beaten by a white kid. He started to train and worked hard to become a good boxer and later fought the same white kid again but lost, again. He finally figured that boxing wasnt for him. He was sent to an all white school and was called names but he wasnt sensitive to it because he was used to it. He stayed with the Swerlins and they treated him very well but more like a pet than a human being. He was one the best students in the class and had one of the highest grades but he still wasnt good enough. He told his teacher that he dreamed of becoming a lawyer but his teacher told him thats not realistic but he told everyone else in his class they could be whatever they want. This made him very mad and discouraged him; i think if the teacher told him to persevere to become a lawyer he might have actually became one.
