There are some people in the world that show their braveness to break the paradigm of differences, slaveries, and discriminations.

- 8. 2.4 The review of the book a. The strengths - The explanation is clear about the story, easy to follow. - The language is always attracting the reader. b. The weaknesses - The font of this book is too small. - The use of diction is also too high; it only suits for people who have a good knowledge about the vocabulary.
- 9. 2.5 Personal opinion In my perspective, this book uses a strong diction and high level of vocabulary; I think it creates 2 things: it makes easy for all people who want to know more about Malcolm X life and enhance their English ability, but in other side, for people who are not really good in English can be confused and hard to digest the story. The font of this book is sufficient to be read by all people. The book does not have a picture, so it could be bored by some people who read.
- 10. CONCLUSION This book can help us as the student to understand the struggle of black American in 1960’s, precisely if we take the study of American Culture and Society. This book helps us also to know more about Malcolm X that his message of equal right can be our motivation to spread his good deed. The discrimination that happens in society should be abolished by using the moral message of Malcolm X. this book also can be our reference to understand what kind of the policy that given by government of USA at that time that implement a racial discrimination.
