5. Reading can be so many things:work or joy, reality or escape, obligation or opportunity. In this unit, three very different authors reflect on how the act of reading has profoundly changed their lives for the better. In Text A, political activist Malcolm X remembers how his “ Prison Studies ” gave him a truly deep love of learning and a better opportunity to develop intellectually than any school could have. Text B, “ reading for life ”, discuss the many benefits of reading, from simple pleasure to helping one make the most of one ’ s career opportunities. Finally, in “ Moon on a Silver Spoon “, Eudora Welty describes the intense childhood love of books, language, storytelling that would lead her to become one of the most noted writers of America south.

11. Pre-reading Activities People who hear one of my lectures or see me on television often think that I must have a degree from a good college. They’d never guess that I left school when I was 14 years old. This impression is entirely due to my prison studies. When I came to jail, my language skills were a mess. I seemed every bit the junior high school dropout I was. But I was impressed by those prisoners who could converse and debate effectively. I wanted to be like them, but I lacked the reading ability to develop my range of knowledge. I decided to improve myself by studying the dictionary. I was so hungry to learn that I copied that entire dictionary over in my own hand. It was long, hard work, but by the end I could read and, for the first time, really understand what I read. And that opened up a whole new world for me. From that moment on, I read every free minute I had. I became the prison library’s number one customer. And once I found my way into the world of books, even the prison walls couldn’t really keep me from being free. Reading taught me what it means to be mentally alive, and once I gained that knowledge I could never lose it. And with every book I read, I understood more deeply the need to awaken other black Americans to the bad deal we’d been getting in the United States. I don’t think anyone ever beneficial more from prison than I did. In fact, I think I learned much more there than I could have if I had gone to college. Where else could I be able to attack my ignorance by studying as much as 15 hours per day.

14. 2 It 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. taken charge of 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 Chinesegoing through only book-reading motionsPretty soon, I would have quit even these motions, unless I had received the motivation that I didtaken charge of 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 Chinesegoing through only book-reading motionsPretty soon, I would have quit even these motions, unless I had received the motivation that I did Language Points

15. 3 I saw that the best thing I could do was 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. It was sad. I couldn’t even write in a straight line. It was both ideas together that moved me to request a dictionary along with some tablets and pencils from the Norfolk Prison Colony school. get hold of reasonget hold of reason 4 I spent two days just thumbing uncertainly through the dictionary’s pages. I’ve never realized so many words existed! I didn’t know which words I needed to learn. Finally, to start some kind of action, I began copying. thumbing uncertainly through the dictionary’s pagesthumbing uncertainly through the dictionary’s pages Language Points

16. 5 In my slow, painstaking, ragged handwriting, I copied into my tablet everything printed on that first page, down to the punctuation marks. down todown to 6 I believe it took me a day. Then, aloud, I read back, to myself, everything I’ve written on the tablet. Over and over, aloud, to myself, I read my own handwriting. Language Points

17. 7 I woke up the next morning, thinking about those words — immensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one time, but I’ve written words that I never knew were in the world. Moreover, with a little effort, I also could remember what many of these words meant. I reviewed the words whose meanings I didn’t remember. Funny thing, from the dictionary’s first page right now, that “aardvark” springs to my mind. The dictionary had a picture of it, a long-tailed, long-eared, burrowing African mammal, which lives off termites caught by sticking out its tongue as an anteater does for ants. springs tolives offsprings tolives off Language Points

18. 8 I was so fascinated that I went on — I copied the dictionary’s next page. And the same experience came when I studied that. With every succeeding page, I also learned of people and places and events from history. Actually the dictionary is like a miniature encyclopedia. Finally the dictionary’s A section had filled a whole tablet — and I went on into the B’s. That was the way I started copying what eventually became the entire dictionary. I went a lot faster after so much practice helped me to pick up handwriting speed. Between what I wrote in my tablet, and writing letters, during the rest of my time in prison I would guess I wrote a million words. pick up handwriting speedBetweenpick up handwriting speedBetween Language Points

19. 9 I suppose it was inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first time pick up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying. Anyone who has read a great deal can imagine the new world that opened. Let me tell you something; from then until I left that prison, in every free moment I had, if I was not reading in the library, I was reading on my bunk. You couldn’t have got me out of books with a wedge. Between Mr. Muhammad’s teachings, my correspondence, my visitors, and my reading of books, months passed without my even thinking about being imprisoned. In fact, up to then, I never had been so truly free in my life... You couldn’t have got me out of books with a wedge You couldn’t have got me out of books with a wedge Language Points

20. 10 As you can imagine, especially in a prison where there was heavy emphasis on rehabilitation, an inmate was smiled upon if he demonstrated an unusually intense interest in books. There was a sizable number of well-read inmates, especially the popular debaters. Some were said by many to be practically walking encyclopedias. They were almost celebrities. No university would ask any student to devour literature as I did when this new world opened to me, of being able to read and understand. smiled uponwalking encyclopediassmiled uponwalking encyclopedias Language Points

21. 11 I read more in my room than in the library itself. An inmate who was known to read a lot could check out more than the permitted maximum number of books. I preferred reading in the total isolation of my own room. 12 When I had progressed to really serious reading, every night at about ten p.m. I would be outraged with the “lights out.” It always seemed to catch me right in the middle of something engrossing. in the middle of something engrossingin the middle of something engrossing Language Points

22. 13 Fortunately, right outside my door was a corridor light that cast a glow into my room. The glow was enough to read by, once my eyes adjusted to it. So when “lights out” came, I would sit on the floor where I could continue reading in that glow. 14 At one-hour intervals the night guards paced past every room. Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped into bed and feigned sleep. And as soon as the guard passed, I got back out of bed onto the floor area of that light-glow, where I would read for another fifty-eight minutes — until the guard approached again. That went on until three or four every morning. Three or four hours of sleep a night was enough for me. Often in the years in the streets I had slept less than that. feigned sleep feigned sleep Language Points

23. 15 I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. I certainly wasn’t seeking any degree, the way a college confers a status symbol upon its students. My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness, and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America. Not long ago, an English writer telephoned me from London, asking questions. One was, “What’s your alma mater?” I told him, “Books.” You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I’m not studying something I feel might be able to help the black man... reflected uponconfersreflected uponconfers Language Points

24. 16 Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read — and that’s a lot of books these days. If I weren’t out here every day battling the white man, I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity — because you can hardly mention anything I’m not curious about. I don’t think anybody ever got more out of going to prison than I did. In fact, prison enabled me to study far more intensively than I would have if my life had gone differently and I had attended some college. I imagine that one of the biggest troubles with colleges is there are too many distractions. Where else but in prison could I have attacked my ignorance by being able to study intensely sometimes as much as fifteen hours a day? (1258 words) got more out of got more out of Language Points

25. Malcolm X US black leader Malcolm X, born Malcolm Little, changed his surname, in common with other Black Muslims, in favor of “X”, a sign indicating the lost tribal names that had been taken from ancestors on their capture and transportation to America as slaves. As an articulate speaker, he expressed the rage and anger of the “oppressed” black masses in America. He become a leading spokesman for the Black Muhammad, for a controversial speech delivered after the assassinations of President Kennedy. In 1964 after conversion to orthodox Islam, he preached a brotherhood between black and white, and formed the organization of Afro-American Unity. He was assassinated in 1965.
