10.5 Opening Prompt: Nightmare by William Weaver https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd After reading Malcolm's Nightmare in Chapter 1, what stuck out to you the most? What does this chapter say about Malcolm's early years? Why does the author begin the narrative with this part of his life? en-us 2020-10-05 11:41:38 UTC 2020-10-05 14:31:38 UTC hello@padlet.com What stuck out to me was that Malcolm's mom had to go to a mental hospital after he started to steal things. The author says Malcolm was favorite to his dad because he was a lighter skin color, but for his mom it was the opposite. Malcolm's father also died after he went out of the house after having an argument with the mom. cchukwu2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803085144 2020-10-05 14:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803085144 The fact that since his comlpexion was lighter due to his mothers heritage his father would treat him better than the rest of his kids. Though for that same reason his mother would get on him even more. cdgillon https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803110537 2020-10-05 14:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803110537 Ellyss Davis https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803128507 What stuck out to me wasn’t specifically words in the book but it was the way the book was written. The author was very intricate with details. I only read part but it stood out to me

I think she did that because she probably thought of him as a burden because he has white man blood. tdanderson7 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803193947 2020-10-05 14:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/cqku86owtfmwjwvd/wish/803193947
