Blog # 7 "Learning to Read" Malcolm X

Question # 9
   
     Unsystematic learning is a double edged.sword.  ts great in that it gives you a lot of freedom.  However, the freedom can be just as bad as it can be good.  By not having limitations, a person can explore what he wants and to whatever ever degree he wants.  This results in two things, one a person gets to follow his interests and two, the person is not as well rounded as someone who is learning in a controlled environment.  For example, if my high school curriculum did not have art, a class i really enjoyed, i would not have take it.  On the other hand, they made me take a class called D.E.A.R.  Which stood for "drop everything and read."  Basically i was forced to read novels only. If i wanted to read a text book or magazine, i could not.
     When reading a random page, i learned that the English language has too many freakin words.  For example, i managed to find at least 12 words on the same page that in one way or another describe a sac.  Also, most definitions of words had other words i did not know.
