-In this quote were getting
a idea of how his life transitioned and how he notices its not all about the “streets”.
-This shows what all got
him started, what gave him his motivation.
-I feel like these
sentences shoes how hard it all was for him and how big of a struggle it
really was for him.
-This shows how he was able
to analyze the problem and how he found a solution, one that wasn’t easy but
a solution none of the least.
-How he has adapted and found
strategies that works for him and enables him to learn it all.
-The moment of triumphant
and all his hard work paid off and everything seeps in.
-With this it gives you a
glimpse into the life he had before and what he has went through.
-I like how this is showing
how he went from a none educated inmate to an educated minister.

-In the street, I had been
the most articulate hustler out there-I had commanded attention when I said
something. But now, trying to write simple English, I not only wasn’t even
functional.
-When Bimbi first made me
feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always taken charge of any
conversation he was in and I had tried to emulate him.
-But every book I picked up
had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the
words that might as well been in Chinese.
-I saw that the best thing
I could do was get hold of a dictionary- to study, to learn some words.
-I read back, to myself,
everything id written on that tablet.
-I suppose it was
inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first tome pock up
a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying.
-Three or four hours of
sleep a night was enough for me. Often in the years in the streets I had
slept less than that.
-when I became a minister
of Mr. Muhammad’s.
