I think Malala uses simple words so it is easier for all of the listeners to comprehend. She also repeats many words to add emphasis in her speech. By using repetition, a speaker emphasizes her points and constantly reminds the listener about what the speaker is talking about. If she didn’t use repetition, most people would either be confused and interpret it their own way or be bored. Malala using simple declarations in her speech advanced her argument because people could understand her points more, allowing them to become fully engaged in her speech. If she used difficult declarations, most people wouldn’t understand what she was saying.
When she uses different religious and political figures, everyone can feel as if they are not the only ones who look up to those people. She doesn’t just name one person who inspires her, but more than one so the audience can relate to at least one person she mentioned. She names Muhammad, Jesus Christ, and Lord Buddha to tell the readers that she learned her compassion from them. She also mentions Martin Luther King,

They are afraid of change and afraid of the equality that we all will bring society one day. We must address extremists with peace and by calling to action in peaceful manners. No, we shouldn’t become extremists. Instead of picking up a sword, we need to pick up a pen.
She suggests words can change the world by naming all the actions we can perform by calling upon leaders in our world. I think if she wanted us to follow any words, it would be the quote from the little boy in her school who said, “A Talib doesn’t know what is written inside this book.” Terrorists and extremists are misusing the words of the book by twisting all the ideas. If we focus on the boy’s words, we will use our own words to teach extremists that they need to stop interpreting the spoken word
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.
Michelle Obama is giving a speech at Bowie State University. The location and reason of the speech is part of the “Reach Higher” initiative to encourage education beyond high school. Michelle Obama begins the speech by thanking the University the Opportunity to be there and the staff. This includes Freeman Hrabowski, a professor who won the Presidential Medal of Excellence. Next, Mrs. Obama thanks the class of 2013 at Bowie State and give them recognition for being the few who have been able to continue the education while also maintaining the personal life and matters. After she gives recognition the class, she then begins to mention historical context including the first African Baptist Church and how it helped begin offering many African
She uses powerful language, includes metaphors and similes throughout the entire book. These are important as they help paint a picture in your head by comparing familiar things with more vague ones. One simile that is mentioned numerous times in the autobiography is "Malala is free as a bird." (Chapter 1, pg. 19). Malala recalls the words her father has always said
Born of Flesh and Destined to Become Iron: Analyzing Rhetorical Moves in Maya Angelou’s Eulogy for Coretta Scott King
The intended audience for this speech was young women who aspire to become a better woman independently. Even though the actual audience was young women, the place where she gave a speech was the best place to show the similarity between Michelle Obama and her intended audience. The school was “girls-only, inner-city, its pupils, of whom 20% are the children of refugees... 92% of whom are from a black or minority background”(Cadwalladr, 2009, para.9). She says, “ I want you to know that we have very much in common”(1:24). Then, “I did not raise with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of, and I raised on the Southside of Chicago. That is the real part of Chicago”(1:50). She uses her personal statement to lose the gap between
Why are human rights so important? Human rights are important so that peace is kept and so that everything stays aligned, put together and won’t be absent. The rights keep the people safe and feeling safe from harm and any other kind of problems that may occur. Safety is one of the reasons that human rights have been established. The central Idea of Malala’s speech and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is that everyone is or should be equal, and they use parallel structure and uses imagery.
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
Malala Yousafzai speaks out after she was shot by the Taliban on the left side of her head for attending school. She then decided to recount the event and write a speech which she presented to the United Nations. Her speech was intended to bring awareness to people that education should be available to males and females.
Malala Yousafzai is a young woman speaking as a young education advocate at the Youth Takeover of the United Nations. This was her first speech since she had been shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan on October 9th, 2012. The Taliban targeted her because she was blogging about her own right, and the right of all women, to an education. Her purpose is to inform the people of the denial of education to children around the world. She is also trying to persuade her audiences to join her campaign in ensuring all children gain their right to education before the end of 2015. Her primary audience was all of the delegates who attended the Youth Takeover of the United Nations, and all the people fighting for education. Her
In the midst of the 2016 election, First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama gave a speech in New Hampshire regarding the candidates. Donald Trump was facing Hillary Clinton; and in support, “Michelle Obama presented a Speech On Donald Trump’s Alleged Treatment Of Women.” As stated in the title, Trump had recently made rude remarks regarding women, and Michelle Obama was using this as a learning lesson for anyone looking to vote for Trump. She made it a point to vote for Hillary by not only stating why not to vote for Trump, but also listing her many accomplishments throughout her lifetime. Michelle Obama was able to create an effective and persuasive speech by strongly stating Trump’s wrongdoings, passionately listing Clinton’s achievements, and frightening us of the possible future for our children.
“I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today I am not raising my voice, it is the voice of those 66 million girls.” Malala Yousafzai makes this statement in her speech to the Nobel Committee as the first Pakistani and, at the age of sixteen, the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize Award. Malala was unfortunately shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, due to the fact that she defied a culture that did not allow girls to have an education. Despite her brush with death, she not only recovered, but became a champion for the rights of children and girls around the world to receive an education. Malala delivered a speech before the Nobel Committee
I am honored to be chosen to pick a speech and read it for the conference. I have chosen Malala Yousafzai’s speech on free education for women and children around the world. In the speech given by Malala Yousafzai on July 12, 2013 at the Youth takeover of the United Nations, she claims that we must take action and help fight for women’s rights and free education for all around the world, and that the acts of terrorism against women and children should be stopped. The speaker establishes the hopefulness for the women and children around the world who lack a basic education and are judged by their race and gender to give hope that they might be able to achieve a free education for all. She wrote this speech to inform the audience about the lack of education for women and children. Malala Yousafzai’s speech is the most moving out of the three choices because the speaker creates a powerful message by using anecdotes, repetition and ethos to convey her overall message to the audience.
Malala says ”Dear brothers and sisters” following by ”we must not forget” 3 times followed by important sayings from her speech such as people are suffering, children don't go to school and lastly and most positively that there is a bright, peaceful future. The absolut last she ends with her famous words ”One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first. Thank you” to sum the speech up.
Then she said: Malala day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights. There are hundreds of Human rights activists and social workers who are not only speaking for human rights, but who are struggling to achieve their goals of education, peace and equality. Thousands of people have been killed by the terrorists and millions have been injured. I am just one of them
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.
