At this point in my reading about “I am Malala”, I am intrigued on how many obstacles Malala and her family and others of this country had to endure each and every day in order to live. They had to deal with floods, earthquakes, destruction to their homes and schools and the worst part of living there was dealing with the bombings and the Taliban. Malala’s father believed in education so much so that he started a school to educate girls and boys. He was starting to become a known figure in…

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter” - Martin Luther King Jr. From the beginning of time, people have stood tall for what they believe in, and proved that one voice can have a big change all over the world. Malala Yousafzai is just one example of this. She fights for what she believes in, she doesn’t back down when faced with a challenge and she always believes that there is more that we can do to help. For all these reasons and many more, I believe that…

The book that I read was I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and Patricia McCormick. It is the story of a young girl who was born in Mingora, Pakistan. She lived with her parents in the northwest Pakistan when the local Taliban had banned girls to go to school. She was 10 years old when this happened. Malala was in the top students at her school almost every year and she wasn't going to give up on her right to go to school. She decided to continue to go to school even if she needed to take risk…

Malala was only an 11 year old teen whilst she started advocating women education and when she was 15 years old the Taliban’s shot her because she became the voice of every silent girls in Pakistan. But the gun couldn’t kill her and nothing could ever scare her as she’s stronger than the fear. She’s a girl of clarity, moralized with her grimness. Either its being a rival teen and beating her bosom buddies in assessments or initiating girls schooling through campaign in Swat or writing…

1. In the opening scenes of the documentary, Malala tells the story of a young girl who led her people to a great victory on the battlefield. She states that “It is better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a slave for a hundred years.” Explain the significance of this in context of the documentary. Can you identify at least one example where an individual or group has risked their live/lives for a particular cause? The film begins with an animation of a mythical famous Pashtun…

“I Am Malala” by Malala is about a girl who stood up for education and changed the world. She began her autobiography by telling us about her childhood and slowly going to when the Taliban took over her country. Malala’s intended audience for this autobiography is women because we, women shouldn’t be scared to stand up for what we believe in just because of our gender. Malala takes us into her life before the horrendous tragedy happened with the Taliban, she structured her book in chronological…

I remember being in seventh or eighth grade when Malala was shot by the Taliban. It was the headline on the news and many people surrounding me were in discussion of the event that had occurred. At the moment, I was unaware of who this individual truly was and the circumstances surrounding her attempted assassination. It wasn’t until the Women’s Leadership Program required us to read I am Malala that I have truly understood her story and caught a glimpse of her journey/life leading up to that…

The text studied shows us how the family and the environment of an individual have a vast impact on the nature of journeys, whether they are physical or metaphysical. The family that Malala was brought up in was crucial for her journey, the symbolism “Showing only the male line...He took the tree...he wrote, 'Malala',” shows this. This is symbolic of how she would be treated differently to the other girls in the patriarchal society she resided in. Malala was also greatly influenced by her…

In Malala’s acceptance speech she is focusing her beliefs onto her speech. In her speech she constantly trying to address one major issue that has been going on for years. Education. She has been fighting for quality education for girls for about eight years. She expresses her belief by using Pathos, Repetition, and Logos to prove/show that everyone especially girls should have quality education. Firstly when the Malala starts to talk about her and her friends being shot is pathos.…
