Malcolm X Chapters 3 & 4

Within these chapters, what I noticed most was how well Malcolm adapted to his new life in Boston. I was surprised, but pleasantly surprised at how easily he made new friends. I found the slang that he and Shorty used to be really funny and sometimes confusing to follow. The part that I found to be most shocking was what happened to Laura, I did not see it coming at all! "The next time I saw her she was a wreck of a woman, notorious around black Roxbury, in and out of jail. She had finished high school, but by then she was already going the wrong way. Defying her grandmother, she started going out late and drinking liquor. This led to dope, and that to selling herself to men. Learning to hate men who bought her, she also became a Lesbian" (Haley 72).
