Analysis Of Malala The Powerful By Kristan Lewis

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 Taliban hovers around them everywhere, deciding what they say, wear, and where they go. Malala never wanted to live a life like this; she didn’t want to live a life without purpose. She had dreams and aspirations. She wasn’t alive just to breathe; she didn’t know it yet but she was destined to inspire countless girls. She teaches us that if we were given this life, we should make something out of it. Our actions should be in the betterment of a society. She didn’t take a bullet for just for herself. She took it on behalf of the countless girls in the world who want to study but can’t.

Kristen Lewis’ article, “Malala the Powerful” was about how a girl as shot in the head by the terrorist group, the Taliban because she was using her voice to stand up and say everyone deserves an education, especially girls. In Pakistan, the religion is strict therefore the Taliban decided to control the government, that made life for women and girls brutal. The Taliban ordered that girls were not allowed to attend school. Malala completely disagreed so she used her voice on the internet incognito to bring awareness about what was happening. The Taliban was out of control, Malala’s family was forced to move South. With all the commotion she revealed her identity, making her well known world wide. Once news broke on who she was, the Taliban

When Malala Yousafzai spoke at the United Nations, she talked about the rights that everyone should have. She cares about others rights and not just her own. Malala wants people to remember that “Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy, and every girl who have raised their voices for their rights.” Many people who do not have freedom are fighting for their rights including: “their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, and their right to be educated.” When Malala was shot by the Taliban, she said that they were hoping to silence people who wanted more rights, but it actually caused more people to speak up and gave them strength, power, and courage.

Malala Yousafzai’s home town in the Swat Valley of Pakistan is where her journey first takes place where oppression against womens education is enforced by Taliban rule. The Taliban staunchly opposed Malala’s fierce beliefs in the right for women to have an education and they did their best to silence her voice. Malala and the other women in the Swat Valley were forced to obey their oppressive regime and not gain an education. Despite the harsh climate against her Malala spoke up against this tyranny with the faith that she could cause a change for the better. Unfortunately due to this she was singled out and faced severe retaliation. A Taliban gunman stopped her school bus and proclaimed that she must be punished for insulting the

In the article, Malala the Powerful by Kristen Lewis, she described how Malala and other people ruled by the Taliban around 2007, had to follow many harsh rules ordered from the Taliban. Many people perished because of not following the religious rules. Malala stood up to the Taliban while they ruled. She did not listen to the Taliban when they said that school was banned. She courageously stood up to the Taliban but yet still got shot. She crazily survived the shooting and is still alive and going to college today. Though the Taliban created huge challenges for Malala, she survived because she stood up to the Taliban with her great courage, and is getting a better education today.

The article , “Malala the Powerful”, By Kristin Lewis, describes a girl who got hurt for what she stood up to in the world, so her and other went through lots of courage and challenges. That are still happening in this world today. But a lot of what she and others went through is still going on today in Taliban. Malala was a girl who fought for others girls to be in school that affect the world because if the taliban knew the would kill them or hurt them are something like that. when the Taliban came around and stroll the streets she still went to school, but she hid herself and the other children as well. As she was getting on a bus one, day two men walked up and asked for Malala and she got up they shot her. She recovered,

The article, “Malala the Powerful” by Kristin Lewis, describes the roughness of Malala, a Jewish girl, who like many girl Jews, crumbled in the hands of Taliban. Malala was alive when the Taliban took over Pakistan. She and many other girl jews were kicked out of school and forced to follow all these stitched rules. In 2009, Malala took action and started a blog. She talked on T.V shows about how hard life was like and was standing up to the Taliban. In 2010, the Taliban shot Malala in the face but she and many other Jews still survived. Though she lived in rough and tough challenges, Malala show lots of courage trying to stand up to the Taliban and their powerful government.

Malala has displayed enormous amounts of potency as she fought against the Taliban to give women rights. During her journey to fight against the Taliban, she has faced many dangers. These dangers prover her to be fearless. One danger she has faced are the death threats. While she was fighting for women’s rights, she faced death threats issued by the Taliban. One day, October 9, 2012, Malala was riding home on the school bus with her classmates from her school in Swat Valley. One gunman entered from the front of the bus while another entered from the back. The gunman who entered in the front began to ask the driver questions, while the other gunman wanted to know which girl was Malala. When her scared classmates identified Malala, the gunman began to shoot at her. She, along with two

First of all, Determination is necessary to overcome adversity because it shows that no one is ever going to back down from what they believe in. Malala didn’t give up and earned what was rightfully hers-the ability to have an education. The article, “Malala” states, “The Taliban's attempt to keep Malala from getting an education has now backfired. Not only is Malala alive and bravely continuing to campaign for her beliefs, but Nov. 10 was named Malala Day to urge people to support the almost 32 million girls worldwide who are denied schooling.” Malala showed her determination by getting back

The elucidation of a role model is a person in particular, that is looked up to as an example to be inspired from and by. Drawing upon the article “What is a Role Model”, Dr. Price-Mitchell briefly recounts the characteristics of being a role model to others. I believe that by having the ability to overcome obstacles, Malala had been able to effectively help others form a vision for their own futures. In the excerpt “Malala the Powerful” the author Kristin Lewis iterates, “It seemed that by trying to silence her, the Taliban had unwittingly helped thousands more to find a voice of their own.”

Education helps provide a sliver of hope in dark times. “It was school that kept me going in those dark days.” (Yousafzai 135) During this time, Malala and her family were going through a tough time, as her and her father were being threatened by the Taliban, an Islamic militia from Pakistan. School was Malala’s only happy part of the day, because she could be at ease and focus on something she loves-- education. “‘Let us pick up our books and our pens,’ I said. ‘They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.'” (Yousafzai 310) If someone has an education, they can already have a sliver of hope. It gives them more opportunities that they will be able to escape poverty, thus earning more hope. Malala writes “The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they could not stop our minds from thinking." (Yousafzai 77) Even though the Taliban had tried to stop girls from going to school, they could not take away their education. The knowledge was still in their minds, which could help them, help themselves. Malala says “For us girls that

Malala Yousafzai is well known for her acts towards Women’s Rights due to the factors caused by the Taliban people. Malala (Biographyonline, Malala) was a regular Pakistan school girl when the Taliban started enforcing rules and restrictions against women. Women were no longer allowed to listen to music, receive education, or go shopping. If they did, they’d be punished by the Taliban. Malala loved school and refused to cower in fear like the rest of her classmates and community. Malala formed a secret blog with BBC expressing her feelings about how unfair women were being treated. Malala was then targeted by the Taliban and shot in the head. Malala suffered a coma, but

“The next day he went on a live show on the voice of America and angrily condemned the attacks.” It is very frightening to speak up against something so powerful and evil, example: The Taliban. However, if the whole world were to realize that the power of these hate groups comes from the creation of fear, maybe everyone would be a bit more like Malala’s dad, and not have the fear to speak up for what is right. The author is trying to show us that no matter our circumstances we can all find the courage to fight for what we know is right. Malala is a prime example of courage because her life was put on the line. However, she walked the tightrope over the hate of the Taliban. She reached the tallest building and was able to achieve the greatest of accomplishments. Including being the youngest person ever nominated for the Nobel
