    For the duration of the autobiography, I am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai; Ziauddin Yousafzai shows verifiable qualities of what most would believe to be a true hero. Although many believe the hero to be the primary protagonist of the biography, Malala, her father Ziauddin shows many more characteristics such as selflessness, wisdom, and intelligence.

The reader could infer this by his actions of voicing his opinion in public (page 144) to his decision to keep running his school (page 95) no matter what consequences he may face. As Ziauddin attempts to keep his family safe as well as do what’s best for his country, he makes decisions, rebels against the law, and most of all, fights for what is right.…
