Values implied by the term “homemade” are freedom, sensitivity, and understanding. Homemade things seem to be of more value and sentimental to the ones that made them. Homemade things are usually better than store bought things. Some examples would be a home cooked meal, a quilt made by your grandmother, and a card made from the heart. When homemade things are taken of less value then that person may have had bad memories with that particular thing. An example would be that your ex-boyfriend, who broke your heart, gave you a card, but you throw it away because it causes you to remember his lies. No, I can think of no one that has educated themselves, but it would be interesting to meet someone who has.
Malcom X thought education was his freedom as much as he learned he didn’t feel like he was in prison. He read constantly and studied the dictionary. When he finally was released; what he had learned he applied it to a cause he believed in, it made him feel free to work toward something he cared about. The quote is very close to what Malcom X has written. Education is a way to freedom. The only thing different seems to be that Malcom X is self-educated and this is in a classroom. This is how Malcom X related concepts and the compare and contrast of this quote.
If I was locked in a cell, I would study psychology because I love to observe people and understand what they are thinking or what is in their hearts. I want to understand why people do the things they do. For example, why would another person tease someone else? After my release I would strive to understand the human mind. I would read many books on different theories and ask people plenty of questions about themselves. I would probably ask my family some questions and give advice on what could do. People would start coming to me for help with their problems to help them achieve what they want. This would be my literacy.
