X marks the spot on a map, indicating that there is something at this point for us to discover. Something for us to obtain. For most of us, reading this is our first time reading Malcolm X's autobiography. His life is like the X on the map. From reading about his struggles and his thoughts, we get a better understanding of America's history and how people can easily change for the better or the worst.
Our life will become more valuable as we mature, learn, and become aware of things around us. It probably will not be as drastic as Malcolm X's life, but most of our lives will have something valuable to share. A treasure for the future generation to read about and appreciate.
Before we can make our own maps for others to follow, we have to go out and find other X's that have been set in place for us. We have to live life to the fullest by taking opportunities offered to us or going out to find opportunities. Malcolm X set a good example with this. Even though some of the things he did were not very wise, but he is able to learn from his mistakes and experiences to evolve into a powerful figure.
