Malcom x memoir hair is his story of when he was a young adult and wanted to conk his. By the memoir we can notice that he was not white and he had some economic problems. During all the memoir he had a peace that showed how exited he was on conking his hair and that he would swallow the pain of the procedure to get straight hair. But at the end of this memoir he changes his pace And also his point of view. His pace becomes a quick and strong one and his point of view changes to be mad to his self and regretful of his acts. I think he does this for different reasons one of this is that he wants to show the reader how he feels know for what he did on the past, and another reason is that he wants to express what with the time he realized.
In my opinion malcom feels really bad because he sort of feels that he has desecrated his culture and his color by doing what he did that make him look a bit more like a white guy.
This memoir let me a "message" or a reflection that is to think twice before doing something that after a time I can regret just for being with the society or looking good.
After reading Malcolm x biography my point of view to the memoir changes. It is easier to understand why he changes the peace. He was someone that suffered a lot of racist tension making him even go to prison. The fact that he was not white changed his live from being a really good student prosper to be a lawyer to be a narcotic and criminal. After reading the memoir I can see why he wrote it. What happens with his hair is behind what he felt but when he wrote the memoir he was showing how he wanted to become more alike white was the worst mistake he made "making one first big step towards self degradation"
