d)
I am indeed excited to learn more about the interesting figure Malcolm X through his biography, yet there still are some worries. First of all, I was overwhelmed by the massive volume of the book. It seemed really thick, so I am worried if my capacity can possibly cover the book. Secondly, the languages used in the book seemed difficult at first sight, so that added to my worries.
Yet, I am glad that I can have the opportunity to read the book. Malcolm X gave me a great impression in the historical context, and I belive taht readin g the biography will give me even better appreciatioin of the figure.
