Analysis Of Malala 's And Colton 's Personalities

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

This was the society into which Malala was born in 1997. Fortunately, her father wasn’t someone to go along with the societal norms. He saw the value of an education for all people, not just men, dedicating his

Malala’s father was a teacher, and therefore, at Malala’s tender age, he was trying to establish his school. Due to this fact, Malala valued education and therefore developed passion towards it since her tender age. She was close to her father, a factor that made her bright in class. Malala always placed the top position in her class, and this greatly motivated her to be enthusiastic about education. Malala’s best friend Mónica, together with another girl by the name Malka-e-Noor, were also hardworking, and this made her always aim for the top. Since the top position in her class was always taken by a girl, she believed that girls had the same potential as a boys (Peer 2). The performance of her class greatly shaped her early perspective of education as a

We both have friends, we spend time with our family, and we put what is important to us first. Malala is an extraordinary person that I think every women/girl should thank for being so public about her opinion on women’s rights. She got shot in the head, she was simply riding her school bus home. Very few people expected her to live, but she made it. In conclusion, although our cultures are extremely different, we must remember that we are all human and all have rights. We should always respect those rights no matter what the person looks like, or what their faith

Furthermore, Malala grown inside of her father’s school and nurtured by the passion of her father had for education. The author stated that Malala pointed out that when

Females are discriminated against, mistreated, and are valued less since women and girls are not allowed to attend school and higher education. There are approximately 35 million girls not enrolled in elementary school. This explains why two-thirds of illiterate people over the age of 15 are females. Malala Yousefszai is an advocate for girls’ education all over the world. We learned that she was shot by the Taliban for standing up for education when we had to watch the video where she was on The Daily Show. Malala said that men don't want women to get an education, because then women would become more powerful. Having an education brings power. Her father was a great encouragement for her because he spoke out

Another thing I agree with Malala is that every woman should have the right to make their own decision about their body, who they want to marry, the way they want to learn, when and where they want to learn. In the novel, Malala talks about how her cousins and friends were getting married and having kids with men that their parents to let their child to get married to a man who is wealthy and rich. This makes me think about girls around the world especially in poor

As a child Malala was always interested in school. She constantly asked to read books and hear stories. That was all until the a terrorist group called the Taliban took over her home town Swat Valley in Pakistan. When the Taliban took over they banned young girls from going to school. From there on Malala chose to invest in her education and was secretly taught math, reading, and writing.

It’s a freedom and a privilege for people to be educated and have the right to go to school. In this speech Malala explains how her education was threatened by a man who believed girls were evil. So as she says, “Those who fought for their rights: Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated”(Yousafzai 310). Malala stands up for herself and all the others who are worth fighting for, which is also a freedom; freedom of speech. She believes we need to take a stand and stand up for not just ourselves, but others around us too. “Dear sisters and brothers, now it’s time to speak up. We call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity”(Yousafzai 312). Malala has been through the struggle of being free and continues to fight

The article,”Malala the Powerful”, by Kristan Lewis, describes Malala a 15 year old girl who stood up to a terrorist group when she was threatened to death. Malala lived through one of the most tragic events of her life, getting shot by the Taliban. For many years the Taliban wanted to kill Malala. The Taliban ordered schools to close, girls not being able to sing or do any kind of music. In May of 2009, Malala, was identified and was put on the New York's Times documentary. She gave speeches and was on television. Though Malala lived through these challenges, she showed a lot of courage, fighting against the Taliban and everyone’s education.

One characteristic I believe both protagonists, Malala and Scout, share is determination. They hold their heads high and believe that they will make the best of the situation. Some ways are similar, while others are different. Malala is characterized by determination in that she doesn’t change her beliefs for the affinity of others.

Malala’s mother went to school when she was a child but there was no point for her to do so because girls in Afghanistan just needed to know how to clean and cook. But when she met Malala’s father she felt badly because she did not know how to read. Also, Malala’s father had many books and had a goal to open a school in the future.

Imagine a world where you have money you do not know its worth, or even know the price of an object because you can’t read. Malala’s mother as well as many face this. Malala uses ethos to prove credibility among the readers, for example stating, “It is not at all uncommon for women in my country to be illiterate, but to see my mother, a proud and intelligent women, struggle

Malala was raised in a family where her parents supported her education. Once Malala became educated, she wanted to focus on educating other girls as well: “I wanted children everywhere to appreciate their education, so I said I now knew firsthand the suffering of millions of children who are deprived of an education.”(Yousafzai 112) Malala spoke out to public services and worldwide services to spread the message of education. By speaking out, Malala indicates the importance of education and why more kids should be educated:“Girls are getting more deprived of our rights…’ … it wasn’t me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn’t.”(Yousafzai 71) Malala helps develop the theme of education by her actions. Malala also uses her feelings to help the reader relate to what is happening throughout the

In the United States a lot of people take advantage of the education system because it’s free for girls and boys. The children are required to go to school and the government spends a lot of money in the education system. It’s hard for people who live in the United States to think going to school as a child is a privilege. That is not the case in many countries, only the children that can afford to can go to school they need to pay for their education. In According to Malala “I know the importance of
