Meeting/living with Ella p. 34
His teacher Mr. Ostrowski p. 37
His father dying p. 10
His family being split-up p. 18
His mother’s mental breakdown p. 18, 21
Student sample: (TREEE*S)
In The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told by Alex Haley the author uses Malcolm's experiences of his mother's mental breakdown and his trip to Boston to show the reader how these two experiences had a profound effect on his character. This is because both of these experiences changed the way he looked at things in the world.
His mother's mental breakdown caused him to change because he didn't look at the world the same way, meaning the government especially. He blamed the welfare workers for what happened to his family stating, "if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours "(22). This shows that he thinks she would have been fine if it wasn't for them.
Another thing that really changed him was his trip to Boston with his half-sister Ella. When he got there he felt "country" because he felt different because he hadn't really been to the city before. But when he comes back he feels like he sees things differently. On page 37 he says that for the first time in his life he felt "a restlessness with being around white people." This shows that he finally felt what it would be like to be part of a black community and he didn't want to go back to the way things were before.
As you can see both of these events changed Malcolm Little's life in that they both affected his point of view.
If you are done:
I want you to do the following to your Quick Write:
1. Underline your thesis statement
2. Underline your textual evidence
3. Highlight the TREEE*S parts in different colors (as I did above to check for all the parts)
