In your anthology, read twice and annotate the essay excerpts by Frederick Douglass ("Learning to Read and Write," p. 24) and Malcolm X ("Coming to An Awareness of Language," p. 91). Be sure to read the biographical information as well. Some words will be unfamiliar to you; use a dictionary if you cannot determine the meaning from the context. Then answer the following questions. Answers are to be typed; format them in the usual way.
1. Find one sentence (or two together) in either one of the essays that you especially like and type out this sentence. Then explain: What makes it stand out to you? Notice how the sentence is constructed as well as the idea behind the sentence. Fully explain your thinking. You will likely need to refer to other aspects of the essay from which the line was taken.
2. In the readings, what similarities do you find between these two authors? Fully explain this answer.
