Getting Out 9/14/09

While in jail, Malcolm meets a man named Bimbi, who is always talking about things about the government that he's read in books, and also saying that the white man is no different than the negro. One day Bimbi tells Malcolm to start reading educated books. To pass time Malcolm would read or listen to the radio, during this time Malcolm became a huge fanatic of Jackie Robinson and at the end of every game he would say his stats. He would also write letters to the rest of his brothers and sisters. Philbert wrote him a letter saying that he had joined a religion that called itself "Nation of Islam" and also told him to stop smoking and eating pork. This reminds me of every time me and my family have to making a promise either to do something or not to do something for 40 days and it's an extremely hard promise to keep most of the time.
