-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.
