Malcolm X

Suppose that, like Malcolm X, you faced ten years of confinement. How would you spend your time?

I would do some of the same things Malcom X did. i would read a lot. I would read a lot because theres not much else to do in solitary confinment for ten years. I would also do push ups and sit ups. If can get smart by reading migh as well get strong too.

If I faced 10 years of confinement, I would probably go crazy. After I realize that I would not be getting out, I might just try to exercise. I would exercise because I find that exercising is a good way to waste time. I would exercise so that I would become so tired that I would sleep longer, thus wasting more time. I would also build my muscles up so that when I get out of prison I will be very strong. After I exercise, I would ask a guard for a book and read for the rest of the day. I would also hope that the prison would provide some other things to do occasionally.

If I was like Malcolm X, and was put in jail for 10 years, how I would spend my time would be by trying to learn something. By learning something, I would either learn something about myself or by knowledge. So that way when I got out of jail, I would be able to do something with myself by getting a job or something like that. And if I learned something about myself, I would like to learn about more interests or what I can be and what I should be so I would be a better person when I get out. that is how I would spend my time in jail for 10 years like Malcolm X.

If I was in jail for ten years I would read any books I could like Malcolm X did and I would also come up with stories and write them down if I could. If that failed I would talk to the inmates.

well i think it would really depend on what i did. basically i think i would sleep, eat, find what ever i can do, and think about what went wrong in my life for me to do what i did to get myself into that mess. i would live with guilt and regret the whole time i am in there. i would also write to family and friends on my free time. oh and i probably would want to stay out of trouble. i wouldn't want to get into any more trouble that i was in.

if i found myself in the same place malcom x did, i would spend all those years concentrating on how to change for the better. i would live the jail life eat, sleep, sit,and make sure i felt punished. I would try to focus on things i could change to make my life better when i got out. lastly i would think and think about everything because in your normal busy day you dont realy have time to think about how something was said or what pople did so thats what i would do.
