'Education and Richard Wright\r'

'During last week, I choose 2 excerpts from Richard W upright and Malcolm X’ autobiographical writing. The interesting part is the authors two got self- educated by reading books while they were in tough situations because of racism. Although the way they accessed to bringing up was different, they had a inviolable feeling that banter could lift them up, and fight for their peck after reading books.\r\nRalph Ellison once said â€Å"If the word has the potency to revive and install us free, it has overly the power to blind, imprison house, and destroy. The similar quote is too right from Bel Kaufman, he said â€Å"Education is non a product: mark, diploma, job, notes in that redact; it is a process, a never ending one. ” words are the symbol human beings use to posit what they want to say. It displace be used in speaking and writing. Using words are the scarce thing nation understructure do in order to communicate. Therefore when it gains to those who don’t demand chance to learn in school, words provide open the new whole world to them.\r\nThat makes volume escape from their ignorance, and enter to the world of education. Moreover, if people croup use words fluently, it will be effective. lyric do not have any strong-arm power to kill, but mental power which can last in a long gunpoint of time. The quote of Ralph Elision is right, and it can apply in Richard Wright and Malcolm X’ situation. The criticism of people to Mencken makes Richard Wright curious, and brings him to books.\r\nThe desire in writing letters, and the competition with his inmates bring Malcolm X to prison’s library to get dictionary and book. They both are brought to the new world, and find out their authorized feelings in reading books. With Richard, he thinks words can use as weapon to fight against inadequate events in the world, reveal the truth of history, especially racism. On the other hand, Malcolm X tries to learn as umte en words as he can in order to fully understand the book, and gain more knowledge, which can help him gain respect of people around him.\r\nIn the other quote, human come to education is not only for making money, it also helps people get the ideas how things work. Knowledge itself is the most grand thing to make people realize the entertain of things, not just for making profit. Furthermore, knowledge is uniform the endless ocean, once people get into it, a lot of new things open to them. Thus, with Richard Wright and Malcolm X, whom dropped out of school, education is not a process to make money; it is the one that helps them understand what they lack of.\r\nAs a writer, Richard Wright would think a lot about what inevitably to write. His mind would never end thinking to make more ideas, and give all he had into his books. Malcolm X was the same, he spent almost 15 hours per mean solar day to read, even though he was pretty triple-crown at the time. Those two quotes are gre at philosophies. I learn a lot more from the quotes and through with(predicate) Richard Wright and Malcolm X’ self- educations. That’s good for me when I read them, and my mind opens wider.\r\n'
