Malcolm X by No Means Necessary
Introduction Aloha! I am Yazhu, Fu, from the other side of Pacific Ocean---China. Flying all the way down here, San Diego, a gorgeous coastal city, I can’t wait to set off my adventure here exploring the sunshine, beaches, delicacies , people and most importantly, the life style here! I’ve already gotten a glimpse of them from the orientation--- the bus city tour and from the first week of trying to crashing classes. Such a contrast between the cozy, casual atmosphere in the attraction places and the fast pace and intense class hours in the school! However, that’s exactly where I like. Like working in the hospitality industry, outstanding people work almost 24/7 without a breath yet enjoy every second of their fantastic vacation. By the way, I believe those couches in 24/7 library may already have a memorable close contact with me. Born in a small town which was barely touched by commercial civilization and whose architectures still remained antique, I grew up around extremely hospitable People. Networking was crucial to doing business there, which resulted from close relationship among people. Naturally, I became a positive and an out-going girl despite of my true introverted nature. Later experience of leaving home to study in a bigger city where commercial economy was much more advanced helped me nurture the ability to adapt to new environment quickly and handle the clashes and conflicts across different communities or cultures well. This is who I am, flexible, adaptable, and enduring; I am like a wild seed, throw me in whatever environment, I can still bloom and blossom! You must know, “zhu” in Chinese means “ bamboo”, which in some way shapes me into being keeping pushing forward to exploit my own territory. I would like to be a pioneer to those off-beaten tracks and fields and discover a whole new world to show people outside. Thus, being an international travel guide is definitely a “yes-yes” for me. With a laptop, from hiking along with the

    The dictionary definition of anthropology is the science of human beings; especially the study of human beings and their ancestors in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture. However, there is more to it—an anthropologist looks for connections between different cultures and their development. These connections are found by looking for specific patterns of behavior and thinking that are shared, called Cultural Universals. The four types of Cultural Universals are communication, values, physical objects, and ideals and religion. The novels Malcolm X: By Any Means Possible, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and A Tugging String illustrated their main topics and themes through shared cultural universals.…

    1. “The teaching of Mr. Muhammad stressed how history had been ‘whitened’—when white men had written history books”(P.213). From this sentence, I found the word “whitened” very interesting. It was rare to describe the history being “whitened”. Then Malcolm had explained, what he meant by “whitened” history.

His nonviolent activism achieved more genuine progress towards racial equality in American history.
