The Three Amigops (Pun Intended)

There are many peculiarities between Ben Franklin, Malcolm X, and Rose that drive their writing with much vigor. Franklin suggests with his writing such strength in education. He's grown up with a lot of experience writing, speaking, and drafting that his own style reflects that of a polished businessman looking to make his next million dollar deal in writing. He squeaks over his sentences with a knack for flow, looks over his grammar to ensure comprehension, and threads his needle for the final stitch of his point driven essay. Malcolm X is quite the contrast.

This man looks for the overlying hierarchy of rugged passion, insinuating every ounce of his struggle through life with the noise of pen on paper and the eerie echos of his thoughts. Malcolm details his story as a man with a second chance, a self driven student of learning, making up for his past, and becoming the person he knows will become greater for himself and others. Rose, on the other hand, has this sarcastic squeal when he details his childhood.

Mike Rose talks lowly of himself and his upbringing in Voc. Ed at Our Lady of Mercy. But he doesn't do it in a cynical way, more of a humor bombarded tale of peasantry. His grammar is clear, easy going, and very entertaining, but he doesn't leave a pun at every turn. Instead, there is a hidden sense of disappointment in his writing. He talks of himself, his friends, and the school system as a disappointment, for that matter. Rose is a man of many thoughts.
