On page 51-52, Drummond states “I understand what Bert’s going through. It’s the loneliest feeling in the world - to find yourself standing up when everybody else is sitting down. To have everybody look at you and say “ What’s the matter with him?” I know. I know what it feels like. Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps.”The quote says that Drummond knows it is very hard and lonely to stand up for something you believe is right when everyone is against you. The author's lesson is that when you stand up alone even though it is hard you have to fight for what you believe is right even if others believe it is wrong. For example, when Cates stood up against the butler law the treated him like a murder and no one would stand with him.The author used Imagery when Drummond said “Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps.” Which is describing details of the surrounding which makes the reader picture the scene in their mind. Before Drummond was making a joke about how they get so offended when someone calls there bible fake that they “ Call down the wrath of God, Brady, and state legislature on …show more content…
For example, when Brady came to town the power shifted away from cates, And the reverend brown went crazy at the prayer meeting the power shifted to cates. In 2012, Malala a teenage girl that stood up against local Taliban groups that did not want girls to be educated. But she thought that was wrong so she started a blog about her everyday life in detailing her life during the Taliban occupation.The lessons from the inherit the wind applies to thing situation because in the play Inherit the Wind, Cates stood up for what he believed in which was that he had a right to teach the theory of evolution. Malala stood up for what she believed in which was girls education, included when she was in the threat of getting
In Guy’s society, people are only taught things that don’t change and things that relate to everyone. “Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely `brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change.” (Pg. 29) This ensures that everybody has the same intelligence, but feel smarter than they are. Malala’s learning culminates when the Taliban bans girls from attending school. “She also said I must leave my school bag behind because there was so little room. I was horrified. I went and whispered Quranic verses over the books to try and protect them” (Pg. 178) She had to leave all of her books behind when her family fled. Guy and Malala see something in books and learning that they are willing to fight
In paragraph twenty five, he acknowledged the clergymen's claim that protesting was wrong because it could precipitate violence. He refutes this argument and uses a simile to compare their claim to a robbed man being condemned because his possession of money caused the evil act of robbery. He uses a metaphor in paragraph fourteen to make an emotional appeal by stating that blacks were suffering in an airtight cage of poverty. This is used to make it easy for the reader to actually visualize blacks in an airtight cage. King uses an allusion to explain why he is in Birmingham by comparing himself to the Apostle Paul because Paul carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the earth.
I get what Cates going through. It’s the worst feeling you can get - to find yourself standing up when everybody else is sitting down...Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own footsteps. I think this quote is so meaningful because it makes Cates seem brave and it makes him seem less guilty. Drummond seems like a good guy in this because he is relating how he feels to any trial. Daily lifestyle relates to the quote because people stand out in crowds on a daily basis. Whether or not it's a bad or good thing, getting bullied, or having different colored hair then everyone else. It's not a good thing when people get bullied and its not Cates ideal way of being in a courtroom either. Business relates to the quote because Drummond was doing business as being a lawyer and trying to shift power on Cates's side so he would not have to go to jail. In conclusion, it's hard to stand out in a crowd full of people and Cates is very brave to do that. Cates was able to shift the

In conjunction with Charlie, Malala Yousafzai discovers that the world is truly not a wish granting factory, when her home town of Mingora in Pakistan fell under Taliban rule; her brave acts of courage made her a power symbol for women and children everywhere. Change is essential to our evolution. It allowed for Malala to see that the world needed change in order for it to move forward, because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take until 2086 before all rural African girls can have a secondary education. Malala Yousafzai’s

I wouldn’t want to live in the society from The Giver. They have a specific schedule for everyone to follow, No one can’t do certain things, everyone gets assigned a job for the rest of your life. They have a specific schedule for everyone to follow. “It was your first stirrings.”
I never performed a literary analysis. However, this class involves critical thinking also assumptions. Each verse implements that God will judge the godly or righteous will be blessed and prosper. The ungodly will face his wrath. Personally speaking how God has been in my life. Since returning, back to school, I have been hospitalizing twice, one surgery, and the passing of my brother. Nevertheless, I read in Our Daily Bread That King David wrote Psalm 139 while in the midst of crisis. However, I have the faith to never give up on school. God has given me the persevere in scriptures.
She is speaking for all the boys and girls who do not have a voice. She says that the Taliban are afraid of education and the voice of women, so they are killing many teachers and students. She appeals to ethos when she repeats the term “brothers and sisters”. This causes the audience to feel united and to remember that Yousafzai is representing her fellow youth from around the world. She emphasizes that she is fighting with peace and compassion, not hate. She uses allusions by referring to authoritative figures, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela, who also fought peacefully to achieve their goals. She wants the audience to understand that she is just one of many women fighting for their education. She appeals to ethos and uses supporting evidence when she quotes her classmate who was asked by a journalist why the Taliban is against education. The classmate pointed to his textbook and answered, “The Taliban does not know what is written inside this book”. She also uses appropriate pauses and strong language in order establish her credibility. The speech is structured by Monroe’s motivated sequence. She starts off by speaking about her story to get
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
Malala Yousafzai used an anecdote in her speech to relate her story with the audience. In the speech it says, “The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” This example gives the audience hope that they can take action and achieve gender equality rights by using their words and actions. The anecdote appeals to the audience’s emotions, by using specific word choice such as strength, power, and courage. This helps connect Malala’s view to the audience. “I remember that there was a boy in our school who was asked by a journalist, Why are the Taliban against education? He answered very simply. By pointing to his book he said, A Talib doesn’t know what is written inside this book. They think that God is a tiny, little conservative being who would send girls to hell just because of going to school. The terrorists are misusing the name of Islam and Pashtun society for their own personal beliefs.” This quote shows the audience why the terrorists do crimes and mass murders, and Malala Yousafzai is teaching her audience to be forgiving and use words and
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.
“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” This inspirational saying by Malala Yousafzai helped my understanding of what has been happening in Pakistan and many other countries all over the world. It shows us how important the littlest things can be and how by ourselves, we can make an impact on the world. In the book, I am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai, Malala explained how as a child, she was denied education because of the Taliban (a group of terrorists) and she chose to do something about it: she spoke out against them. When they tried to retaliate, even more people joined her cause for justice. In a similar case, Arnold (Junior), in the book The absolute Diary of a Part TIme Indian, was a boy living on a North American Indian reservation (rez) where unlike Malala, he was able to go to school, but his schools were very bad. Mr. P, his teacher, told him that if he does not leave the res, that he will not get any further in life. He decided to transfer to Reardan, a school outside of the reservation, where he knows that it will not be easy. He faces discrimination and he is exposed to more and more of the terrible things that happen in the world. And even though we learn from him that living on an Indian reservation is not a walk in the park, and that even living there does not compare to going to school at Reardan. Unfortunately for these two characters, they have both faced hardships that have deeply affected their lives. These stories show that when someone is in an environment that makes them lose their innocence, sometimes they also lose faith in humanity; when that has happened to someone, they might want to stand up for the other people with similar struggles.
