I am on page 179 of 195 pages. I am at the part where Malala and her family try to get used to Birmingham, England, where they now live after Malala was in the hospital. They discover new things they never tried before and Malala sees that the school there has a projector, wifi, laptops, and more things schools in Pakistan are lacking. Tone or mood is the author’s craft that does well in the novel, I am Malala. For example, when Malala and her family returned to Mingora, there were “piles of wreckage, burned out cars, and smashed-out windows...It seemed that every building was pockmarked with bullet holes”(104, par. 2). Also, when they went to check on their house later, “My brothers immediately ran off to check on their pet chickens. They came back crying; all that was left was a pile of feathers and bones. …show more content…
3). This mood is disappointing, depressing, and sad since the whole city they had live in for their whole lives was completely destroyed and the chickens the boys loved were now dead. Furthermore, when Malala realizing the Taliban are targeting her, the since in very sad and sorrowful. For example, to show this mood she writes, “They looked troubled and hurriedly shut down whatever they’d been looking at”(117, par. 2), “The worst had happened”(118, par. 4), “my dear father was near tears”(118, par. 5), and “My proud, fearless Pashtun father was shaken in a way I’d never seen”(118, par. 7). Tears, shaking, and troubled indicate and represents a sorrow. Lastly, when Malala’s family meets Malala in the hospital, it was happy and touching. “But when the door opened and I heard familiar voices saying jani and pisho, and when everyone fell upon me, kissing my hands because they were afraid to touch me, finally, I cried. I cried and cried and cried some more. Oh, how I cried” (152, par.
I Am Malala is about the true story of a fourteen year old girl’s campaign for women’s right to education. The campaign began when this fundamental right was stolen by the Taliban. The memoir is set in a town called Mingora in a district called Swat Valley, near Afghanistan. Malala’s father was a good speaker and was consistently a part of environmental, social, and political causes in Swat Valley. Malala’s father encouraged her to learn and to be an independent woman, even though most women were illiterate and weren’t inclined to pursue an education. He was an English teacher and opened schools for boys and girls with his friends.
He uses mood to make the setting a dark and dreary day this makes for a sad and distressed mood. The father, Mr. White talks about how awful their living conditions are. He goes to say, ‘ That’s the worst of living so far out,’ ‘Can’t walk on the footpath without getting stuck in the mud, and the road’s a river. I don’t know what the people are thinking about.’ This shows that it is a dreary day and place to live and when days are dreary and wet outside it makes me feel sad and distressed I don’t feel joyful. He uses tone when the author write, ‘ cried Mr. White with sudden and unexpected violence:’ and when people are using an angry tone with you don’t get happy and excited, it makes you upset and
emotions are shown through the struggle she did. The story brings out emotions of sympathy
Her change in tone from upbeat to delicate suggests sorrow as she is reminded of the loss of her mother. Her pause shows the audience how appreciative she is of what her parents have done as she grapples with disbelief at how any human being can take away such unselfish lives so mercilessly. Julia emotionally deteriorates even further when she nearly cries as she mentions how love can only be constructed in one’s home, surrounded by those most important to them. This is relatable to any individual who has lost someone they cared very much about, and Julia’s cue of facial expressions provides the audience with a key emotional connection in which they truly understand the magnitude of her affliction. If people cannot understand the significance of what has happened on an emotional surface, then they truly cannot comprehend with what has happened at all, and therefore, Julia’s emotional testimony is the key in one’s ability to grasp the brutality that deprived the lives of millions of victims. Therefore, Kacandes stated eloquently that “if we refuse to become coparticipants in the storytelling, we deny survivors one aspect of their humanity: the ability to communicate” (Kacandes
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
I am Malala Response 1 Malala described how she was someone who belongs to many different communities in the first chapter, for this caused her to learn new things about how others live. While being part of these different communities, she learned that not all people live the same why she did, and they may not have the same schedule. The membership of her being in different communities influenced many different parts of her life and where she is now. In the book I am Malala on page 24 it states, Schools for girls had been burned to the ground, and all women had only a tiny fabric grille for their eyes.” This statement is explaining how women and girls in Afghanistan a much harder life they must live than women and girls where Malala lived.
Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani school understudy and instruction extremist from the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa territory. She is known for her instruction and ladies' rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban had on occasion banned young ladies from going to class.
There is one particular piece of writing and rhetoric that has affected my life. The book I am referring to is I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. This memoir is about the inspirational Malala Yousafzai’s fight for equal education for girls in a Pakistinian town that was taken over by the Taliban. Malala uses rhetoric and writing to explain her journey of hardships and successes. Two examples of these are the use of motifs and storytelling which are exceedingly prominent throughout the book. The motifs that are repeated throughout the memoir are all encouraging. One motif that is in the book is to never give up and continuing to try to succeed. As far as the writing style goes, Malala uses storytelling to an advantage to create moments of suspense which retains the reader to engage in what is going on in the book. To her, this book is simply telling her story.
To start, a true hero is persistent. In other words, when they face a challenge, the hero does not back down, especially if it is difficult. For instance, in the Transcript of a News Broadcast “The White Helmets: Fighting For Life In Syria’s Vicious Civil War”, by Scott Pelley, it talks about the valiant actions of the Civil Defense, a group of collected warriors who live just to save others from the brutal reality of Syria’s war. In the transcript, Syrian reporter Rami Jarrah responds, “They’re usually there for hours after the attack...six, seven hours” (2). Because of the determination of the courageous members of the White Helmets, many Syrians have survived when they were left to die.
This is very noticeable as she explains her time in the hospital, where she spends more time telling us the stories of her parents and her brothers, even her nurses and doctors than she does about her thoughts and emotions. As a person who fiends for that type of content, this was a slight disappointment for me. I could not understand why she did not speak more of her anger and outrage and sadness and fear, she just continued to speak of the things going on around her. This shows that although Malala is incredibly young, she is equally as incredibly strong. It takes a special type of person to be nearly murdered by terrorist, but still worry about how your parents and friends
The house was in complete disorder. One could see signs of intense struggle inside. If one looked closely one could even see signs of someone desperately searching for something. It was unknown if the thing they were searching had been found or not.

In the book Malala talks about things that go on in her country that people, men especially seem to conventionally not pay attention too. Things such as honor killings and girls not being able to be educated. On my design of the book cover, there is a veiled woman who has words on her face. Some of the things written on her face are, domestic abuse, honor killing, and murdered etc. These are things that happen to women all over the world and go unnoticed everyday. The words on the woman’s face represent the hardships women go through and that those things become apart of who that woman is. I chose
