“Finding Love Again: A Letter to Felix”
Hey Felix my dear; I like really like you. You’re like everything I’ve ever been searching for in a man. The way you look, talk, your humor, is just so perfect to me. The reason Ive held this out for so long this month is because 7 months ago I thought I had the best partner in the world. But he left me just for wanting a label. I was so torn at this thinking I’d never find someone like that again but really Im just dumbfounded. You fixed the part of me that was broken. Thats corny though eh?

“Malcolm X’s Journey to Becoming a Scholar: The Intrinsic Qualities that Fueled his Learning to Read” Malcolm X’s Journey to Becoming a Scholar: The Intrinsic Qualities that Fueled his Learning to Read
In “Learning to Read”, Malcolm X shares how from jail, he taught himself to not only read, but to become a scholar of history, religion, and politics and was therefore able to enter into and become a leading voice in the conversation around race and equality in the United States.
While there are many systemic reasons why he may have not learned strong reading skills prior to prison, for this essay, I would like to focus on the characteristics Malcolm X exhibited in order to learn to read. In other words, what kinds of intrinsic qualities did he need to develop in order to help keep himself focused on his goal of reading? Did he move from a fixed to a growth mindset? Did he demonstrate self-efficacy, grit, purpose, or qualities of an academic mindset?
To fully answer these questions, be sure to include:
An overview of how Malcolm X taught himself to read, and what motivated him to do so.
Which characteristics he demonstrated (e.g. growth mindset, self-efficacy, etc.) that you believe helped him to learn to read (note: while you might believe he exhibited many if not all of the qualities we studied, for this assignment, you might want to select the top 2-3 you believe benefitted him most).
An extended definition of each characteristic you choose to include.
Examples from the text that illustrate your ideas (e.g. if you select to use grit, what are examples from “Learning to Read” that illustrate (show) Malcolm X being gritty + an explanation of why you think it is an example of grit). -

Analyzing Rhetorical Strategies in “Why We Need to Stop Ignoring the Psychology of Cities” by Theaster Gates
Let’s practice our rhetorical analysis skills on a popular Ted Talk. While I’m not a big Ted Talk fan in general, there are a few I’m quite fond of, and this is one of them.
After watching the video in full, identify and analyze 1-2 rhetorical strategies Urban uses in his talk. Our goal is to explore which strategies he uses to the best effect.
The hardest part about rhetorical analysis is taking the analysis far enough. For example, it’s not enough to say, “Urban uses a lot of humor in his talk.” That’s just identifying rhetorical appeals. Our goal is analysis. In this example, once you’ve identified the strategy/appeal, you need to go further by discussing how and why the humor is effective for the intended audience and message.
