Malcolm X described how and what he felt during prison. He describes his sudden love for reading and it made him felt freer than he’s ever felt even though he was in prison. This narrative shows the idea that there is a relationship between literature and freedom. Based on what this narrative shows, I agree with this idea that there is a relationship between literature and freedom. I feel that this is one of those things where a person can find happiness in despair. Solitude in hardships. It’s a situation where you can find something good during a bad time. I believe that this is what Malcolm went through and that is why he became infatuated with reading at a time like that. However, I do agree with this notion. It is very possible to find things of meaning in dark times.

Literature and freedom are two different things. However, they are similar in the impact they have. Literature is one of the most important aspects of life. It can create wonderful stories as well as empower them. It can create the idea of empowerment and also put the idea and into words and action. Literature is a form of art that can be used to create and mold visions of anything. Freedom is similar to this. The idea of freedom can be used and interpreted in many ways. Freedom is something that people of color wanted and still want to this day. Freedom can be the right to be yourself and not care what people think. These ideas with freedom I think very well correspond with the ideas of literature.
