    Malala Yousafzai, female activist, human rights spokeswoman, and a normal girl who enjoys quality time with her siblings, is known for her human rights advocacy for the education of women and children in Northern Pakistan, where the local Taliban banned girls from attending school, to limited their rights little by little. Malala was only 10 years old when the Taliban dominated her region and influenced her people through the use of Islam in a very drab, murky way. She was taught to stand up for what she truly believes. So, when the Taliban took over, Malala refused to be silenced and fought for her education.

The use of lucid imagery not only allowed the reader to utilize the 5 senses throughout the book, it tied the entirety of the book as a whole, by providing vivid descriptions that stimulated all 5 sense to the reader, allowing them to connect with Malala to an intellectual level.

And if I listen very closely, I can hear Safina, my friend next door, tapping on the wall we share so she can tell me a secret” (Yousafzai, pg.1). Malala began to describe the scenery of…
