Cale's Proposal

I am interested in writing about the theme of change throughout Malcolm X's autobiography. I was troubled by the fact that Malcolm realized when he was in Lansing that black people were always dealt from the bottom the deck, but when he came to Boston he forgot about that, and even got his hair conked, which he admitted later was attempt to be more like a white person. This is important in the book, because this was one of the major setbacks in Malcolm's life to him. He had realized what a world he had lived in when he was younger, and was ready to stand up to it (he started staring at people who called him "Nigger", but then he forgot all about it. One way to consider this is that when Malcolm moved into a predominantly black community, he no longer had the experience of having to live with white people, so he forgot about his vendettas against whites.
