Zach began by completing a grammatical exercise that covered direct and indirect objects. Next, Zach worked on an analysis essay which looked at the way Malcolm X develops as a character and the way the main conflicts in the story have many ways that they surface. We looked at these conflicts critically and analyzed Malcolm's character traits that influence the way his story is being told. Next, we discussed chapters 7-9 in detail and discussed textual evidence that supports the development of themes in the story.
