A Common Theme Of Persevere In I Am Malala

In the book, I Am Malala written by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb, there are several pivotal quotes that help one understand the struggles Malala faced during her lifetime. The struggles Malala faced were to go against the Taliban and fight for the education of all people. A first claim shows how Malala felt about education. “Is education not the right of these children?” (Yousafzai and Lamb 84). At this time, the Taliban felt that girls should not attend school and that they should not receive an education. As a way to retaliate, Malala and her father printed that quote onto thousands of leaflets to be distributed to the people of Swat. Malala and her father wanted the people to stop and think about how everyone deserves the right to

“The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born.” Malala Yousafzai was fifteen years old, riding on her school bus when she was shot in the head by the Taliban. Her only sin was publically advocating for the education of young girls in Pakistan. When I was fifteen, my biggest worries were whether I’d get my homework done by the following morning. School had become a burden, and there are still days in which I’d rather not show up. On those days, I force myself to put myself in Malala’s perspective, and proceed to haul myself out of bed. If one can conjure up such courage just to maintain her right to attain an education, I can definitely take advantage of her sacrifices. Malala’s resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity prove that she truly is a hero.

The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan-

night our fear is strong, Jani,’ he told me, ‘but in the morning, in the light, we find our courage again.’ And this was true for my family. We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage. ‘We must rid our valley of the Taliban, and then no one has to feel this fear,’ He sad.” (Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala, Pg. 138). Malala Yousafzai is quite possibly one of the best examples of fearlessness there is. Malala’s story is truly amazing. As the Taliban continued to strike fear in the hearts of these people and wreak havoc, there are still a myriad of people willing to stand up to the Taliban. Some of those people being Malala and her family. Malala shows fearlessness when she talks on television news stations and at rallies, even when she knows the Taliban could easily target her. And she was targeted. But just like she explained in this quote, her courage was stronger than her fear. This engenders her to work through the hardship of being attacked by the Taliban and go on to continue her work for fighting to make women equal. Even in such dark times Malala and her father never stop believing that one day there will be no more terror in their valley, therefore allowing people to realize the strength of Malala. Her father asserts that there may be fear, but under these circumstances they must continue on being fearlessness. Her father stresses upon her that hope plays a key role in continuing to live on through the fear. They must never stop believing that they

The first of the two situations is when Malala's father, Ziauddin, is trying to get his school started. Ziauddin wanted to start a school, but almost immediately, he ran into many problems such as not having enough money, not having any students, and having the school get flooded . He persevered and overcame the problems that faced him because he “would not give up on his dream” even though it “started to feel” like “ the school was not meant to be”, but in the end Ziauddin did get his school running (Yousafzai 55). Because Ziauddin got his school running, Malala was able to get an education. The second situation is when Malala's parents are faced with having to persevere and stay strong while their daughter lays in a hospital bed with a bullet wound on her head.

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. In the book I am Malala the theme of oppression is recurring. The Taliban has oppressed Malala’s village, and I had felt that even though they were oppressed they stood up for what they believed in, even if it meant they’re life was in danger. The first theme that I thought best represented this book was family/friendship. Even though Malala went through this oppression she came through even a stronger activist for women’s education. While she was advocating for girl’s education her family still had her back and even encouraged her to fight for girl’s right to education. The second theme I picked was survival/healing. Malala was shot when she was campaigning for

Malala Yousafzai was a talented and brave young woman who had one goal in life: to get an education and encourage others to do the same. Born in Pakistan, Malala did not grow up with many resources, but she was lucky enough to have a father that shared the same goal as her. At the young age of fifteen, she was shot in the face by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ rights to an education. Although the recovery time was long and hard, the Taliban did not silence her as she continued her campaign. This eventually led her to opening her own school in Yemen and writing the novel I Am Malala. As someone who highly values education and bravery, her story made me interested in learning more about her culture, family, and experiences.

After reading the book ‘’I Am Malala’’ I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen-year-old girl who got shot because she fought for women’s rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential.

The central message that Malala conveys through her writing is that anything is possible to overcome as long as you have grit and perseverance. Since she

The book “I am Malala” tells the story of eleven year old girl that campaigned and fought for woman’s rights and for the Taliban to allow them to go to school. Malala had an extremely tight nit family bond along with very supportive parents. She always had their support especially from her father Ziauddin. I believe that if I had a daughter so young that wanted to make such a big difference in her country I would stand by her one-hundred percent and push her to set out her dreams. That is exactly what her parents did, they always encouraged her to do whatever she put her mind to even now in present day.

of her challenges, struggles, overcoming them, and lessons like that when they"stand up for what you believe in, it will have a positive impact on others", when fighting for female education while the Taliban took over her home country of Afghanistan. For example, when fighting for her opinion, she was constantly in danger and had many thoughts about how she "did not say anything

Five features a has are  that it is not linear it does not follow a specific timeline it can jump from one time period to another, it is emotionally charged because it is a testimony of what happened to the individual, it is very subjective because it is told through the perspective of the writer, a memoir is politically charged, a memoir is also able to raise consciousness of society, culture, and the government. I think I Am Malala fits into this genre because in I Am Malala  Malala starts off talking about the day she was born then it progress to when she is going to school then jumps back to before she was born talking about the struggles that her father went through to get an education and the struggle to start his own school. I Am

In “I am Malala,” Malala Yousafzai explores the idea that education empowers women to stand up for their rights, so that they can have a positive future.

In this powerful book, there is a very important lesson hidden troughout it. The author’s message to her readers is to speak out during times of injustice, even if you stand alone. To be brief about the story, Malala was born and raised in the Muslim country of Pakistan, where women are inferior to men in many ways. Her father ran many schools, including the girls school she attended. However, a militant group known as the Taliban invaded and brainwashed many Pashtuns about their holy book called the Quaran. As a result, more rights were

Education might not be the cure of the world’s problem but it’s important to be knowledgeable. It’s important to have an education because without it, it makes a person vulnerable to be guided in the wrong direction. Not everyone believes education is important in life and especially for a woman. Malala Yousafzai tells us her story and her fight for education in her book I am Malala. She tells us about her families struggle for the right of education and not just education in general but education for woman. She was raised in Pakistan and its one the counties in which some people believe a woman should not go to school or have freedom. Education was not as easy for her as other girls around the world. Sometimes people don’t take education as a privileged but as a right, but unfortunately it’s not this case everywhere and it wasn’t the case for Malala. She was also able to see by firsthand how illiteracy can be a danger to a person and how others can take advantage of it.
