How are Malcom X's and Mike Rose's essays different or similar?

Malcom X highlights his years in prison, which is where he taught himself to read. He daily sought out definitions in the dictionary, carefully writing down each word in his note book. He stated that he baegan this task because he was tired of not being able to express what he wanted to convey in letters that he wrote. He was gifted in the area of articulation and could captivate crouds while giving his messages, but trying to write simple English, he stated that he not only was not articulate, He wasn't even functional.

Mike Rose however was a bright student and fell upon his circumstances due to error within the school system. So because of the undisciplined setting he was in. he developed very undisciplined habits. So his lack was not based on the fact that he couldn't, but rather the fact that he just didn't try very hard. He just did enough to get by.

Malcolm eluded to the fact that he was provoked to do well by those that were around Him one example was a person named Bimbi.  He was envious of his knowledge and how he was able to take charge of every conversation.

Mike rose was surrounded by individuals who were not even expected to excel, in fact that seemed already destined to fail based upon the category they were placed in which was called a euphemism for  the bottom level.

In answer to the question I would say that in certain things the stories are similar, but in essence they come from two very different perspectives
