Refelctoin
I feel that i do better doing a report than i would a pod cast. Because i found it easier to found it easier to put down informatoin for the report because for a pod cast you don't. I think what worked for me is know is that i didn't have to talk about it. I think my overall problem with doing a pod cast is i don't like talking in front of people i don't knbow. I think it would have been moreintresting if we could have done it in private so they sound good.

Famous people: Alex Haley
Hello this is my report on Alex Haley
Writer of Roots
He was born on August 11 1921, in
Ithaca New York. He spent his first five years in Henning Tennessee he was
raised with his two younger brothers’. His family was African American mixed
with Irish and Cherokee. He Enlisted as a mess boy and then became a petty
officer third class in the rate of mess attendance. He served as a ships cook. During war Alex
Haley thought himself how to write stories. After World War 2 Haley was able to
talk to the coast guard to allow him to transfer into the field of journalism.
He did his first interview for playboy Magazine. In the interview Davis
candidly spoke about his feelings on racism. That lead played a big part on his
magazine for Martin Luther king Jr. One of Haley’s most famous interviews was a
1963 interview for playboy, which led to their collaboration on the activist’s
biography. The biography of Malcolm X based on the interviews conducted shortly
before Malcolm’s death. In 1975 Haley published Roots: a Story of an American
Family. A novel about his family History. He started the whole story with Knuta
Kinte kidnapped in Gambia 1767.Haley claimed to be a seventh generation of
Kunta Kinte. Haley was briefly a winter resident at Hamilton college in
Clinton. He began to write roots there. Many local people remember Haley
fondly. Haley said the most emotional moment of his life was on September 29,
1967 when he stood in Annapolis Maryland where his ancestor had arrived 200
years before.
