War in North-West Pakistan

“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…

has risked their live/lives for a particular cause? The film begins with an animation of a mythical famous Pashtun hero, Malalai. The teenager is said to of turned the morals of the Afghan fighters around, just as they thought they were losing the war against the English. She encouraged them on by waving a flag, but just as victory was arriving, she was shot and then died. The story of Malalai is very similar to Malala’s story, as both raised their voice with bravery. This attributes reinforce…

tragedy happened with the Taliban, she structured her book in chronological order to show us how much she loved school, how important her education was to her, and why she did what she did. Malala was born in 1997 to a Pashtun family in Swat Valley, Pakistan. She loved school ever since she was a little girl, she was always…

understood her story and caught a glimpse of her journey/life leading up to that tragic event. After reading I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai herself with Christina Lamb’s assistance, I felt that I had gained new insights on Malala’s story and the Pakistan culture. The decision to make this novel a memoir allowed me to see that Malala…

Malala Yousafzai is my modern day hero. Malala was born July 12,1997 in Mingora, Pakistan. Malala stuck up for the education of girls. She was an activist going around the world speaking about the prohibition on the education of girls. Current day Malala is 19 years old, she is getting ready to go to university. Her parents are Ziauddin Yousafzai, Tor Perki Yousafzai. And she has two siblings who are Atal Yousafzai and Khushal Yousafzai. SECTION HEADER Malala is a brave hero because even…

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…

and a hopeful tone to the speech. “Let this be the last time that a girl or a boy spends their childhood in a factory. Let this be the last time that a girl is forced into early child marriage. Let this be the last time that a child loses life in war. Let this be the last time that we see a child out of school”(485). Malala is repeating “Let this be the last time” to really stick her point into the mud, and make sure that you understand the severity of her words. This also persuades the…

When Malala Yousafzai was young, she faced a great deal of challenges that make the problems I face seem minor. Malala grew up in an environment I cannot imagine myself braving. In Mingora, some nights were without electricity and every day would be tense. Despite the hardships, Malala prevailed and fought for what she believed in. Malala was motivated and brave, and even continued to speak her thoughts publically when she was presented with a crowd when she could’ve been attacked—and she really…
