Malcolm X was very interesting. Even though I don't like the direction his life went he did bring himself up from illiteracy to being quite educated. The thing that is interesting is his determination. Looking at ones self, realizing what you can't do and then doing something about it. What an accomplishment and a way to learn.
One of the ways that Malcolm is similar to Feross and Joshua, is their step by step process. "This is what I want to do" and "this is how I will do it". Feross and Malcolm were wanting to "learn how", while Joshua was wanting to "give up google".
Feross and Malcolm use story like examples, drawing from their past, what they didn't know, while Joshua is using the here and now - realizing how he was caught up in all the google products and wanting to see how to "get out".
Malcolm and Joshua are similar in that they both set out to get done what they wanted to get done. Where Feross, when he was 11 probably didn't realize the direction making his first web site would take him and his interest in it.
Each of them did accomplish their tasks and this tells me that English 101 can be accomplished as well.
