Im at the end of my book and it takes quite a sad turn. Malcolm X has been assassinated by a group of people while he was on the stage. He had been with a group of people including his wife. Many people had witnessed Malcolm X being shot in front of them but did nothing. Then there was a photographer who had taken some photos of men tearing apart Malcolm X's clothes and loosening his tie, and giving Malcolm X mouth to mouth respiration. This book took many tragic turns and this one hit me the hardest.
After reading this book I had came across one main theme in the book. I had realized that the theme had been that even though things come across in your life that you need to be perseverant. I think that this is the theme because in the book Malcolm had gone through several problems such as becoming an orphan, committing several crimes, losing one of the most important people in his life, and making drastic changes to his life. All though he had gone through several problems he had persevered through them and made the best of his life and things that he could do. Malcolm X had become one of the most well known civil rights leaders of the 1930s-40s. These problems helped shape him into a better person and made him think a way he hadn't thought before. These problems had also taught him more things and gave him new morals that he hadn't followed before.
My final thought after reading this book was that I think I want to look into more books written by the author Alex Haley. The way he writes pulls me in and engrosses me in the book and just makes me want to read more of the books written by him.
