heyy gab, wow i loved your post! My parents also have been married 25 years also, and i can relate to when you describe how your dad still looks at your mom the same way after all these years, since my dad does the same thing. I feel as though love is an undefined bliss that is a blessing to encounter, and you really captured this idea within you post. I also agree with you on how this book really does encompass everything imaginable from drugs to falling in love lol. 
so great job! =]

heyy christa! <3.>wow i love your connection to white chicks lol...i think that you really have taken a lot from the book in order to connect it so easily to a popular movie from today's culture. I am in complete agreement with you on how the Nation of Islam was wearing a mask the entire time. This also portrays the lesson of deception, and how not everything is as good as it seems. so overall great connection!

i also made a blog post on religion and described how i am a stronger catholic due to the confirmation retreat i went on over this weekend. i really think that malcolm turned towards the islamic religion for the same reason in which the majority of people turn to religion and that is for hope. I also concur with your opinion on how people shouldn't make it their responsibility to convert other people into their religion. I agree with how you should respect other people's religions and accept what they believe in. 
great post! =]

i definitely agree with your opinion on how Malcolm had a fake "tough guy" appearance. i feel as though this facade was most definitely created with the help of all the drugs he was on, which made him feel somewhat "invincible". Also, when you brought up the quote that states how everything is written, I definitely support that quote due to the fact that I am Catholic and believe that God has created a roadmap for every individual to follow and also has reason for why things happen the way they do. 
great post!
