I Am Malala Yousafzai

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

Before Malala Yousafzai took a stand for children’s rights, countries throughout the Middle East were brutally oppressed by the Taliban. The Taliban are a radically militant Islamic movement that controlled some ninety percent of Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 (“The Taliban Once Ruled”). In 2007, a faction of the Taliban regrouped across the border in Pakistan, invading northern cities including Mingora, a region in Swat Valley. These fundamentalist terrorists were brutal and rapidly became the dominant socio-political force in northern Pakistan (“Education in Pakistan”). The Taliban executed those who resisted and didn’t follow their harsh laws. According to a resident of Swat Valley, “we were very scared of them. Our education system was totally

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.

The Taliban came into power in 2005 in Pakistan and began dictating the civilians how to live their lives the “right Islamic way”. The people of the Swat District were forced to obey every command of the Taliban unless they and their families wanted to be killed. Women especially became very oppressed and had to enter Purdah, wear hijabs whenever in public, and were encouraged to not go to school. All westernized media, clothes and games were banned, anyone who did not follow the law would be shot. The community lived in such a terrible state of fear that Malala and her family were afraid to go outside where they were known as famous social, political and educational activists. A BBC correspondent contacted Ziauddin to make a blog from a school girl’s point of view on living under Taliban rule. Malala soon took up the challenge and related her experiences over the phone about her oppressive life in Swat Valley and the threats against girls like her for going to school. Eventually, her school had to close after many local school bombings, and then the whole valley had to be evacuated for the Pakistani Army to come wipe out the Taliban.

Malala Yousafzai was a talented and brave young woman who had one goal in life: to get an education and encourage others to do the same. Born in Pakistan, Malala did not grow up with many resources, but she was lucky enough to have a father that shared the same goal as her. At the young age of fifteen, she was shot in the face by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ rights to an education. Although the recovery time was long and hard, the Taliban did not silence her as she continued her campaign. This eventually led her to opening her own school in Yemen and writing the novel I Am Malala. As someone who highly values education and bravery, her story made me interested in learning more about her culture, family, and experiences.

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

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

Malala Yousafzai is a 16 year old activist that’s fighting for children's education. She gave her famous speech to the officials of the UN. She was presenting her speech to stand up for education for every male and female. Malala justified, there to be education for every woman, man, and child. Her supporting arguments are that the Taliban are scared of change and learning about new innovations. Although what's massively lacking in her speech is logos. Despite the fact she used lots of pathos in her speech in which she was using to manipulate the audience's feelings towards the Taliban's actions.

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

Because of this, Clover went to go an animal that can read only to discover that the commandment now read, “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.’’ (Page 67) The pigs easily convince the animals that the rule was never changed due to the lack of any intelligence in the animals. Malala Yousafazai’s speech at the United Nations correlates to the theme education is used to gain power. She mentioned that her and her friends, “realized the importance of pens and books when we saw guns.” Malala addresses in this statement that even in the face of death and uncertainty, education and knowledge is powerful. With this idea of knowledge being a weapon to counter terrorism, the Taliban is preventing women from attending school because, “The power of education scares them.”. The taliban and Malala both understand the true power of education and they both will stop at nothing to obtain it. In conclusion, both texts convey the topics of education and knowledge in ways that represent the theme that education is used to gain

The 4th line of page 162 to the end of the first paragraph on page 163 helps the author build her case by illustrating that all women have the right to go to school. At the beginning of the passage, Malala mentions that she heard a Muslim Khan, a Muslim “local lord”, say that girls should not go to school because they will become Westernized. Moreover, the Taliban are worried that children who read, learn English, or study social science will become Westernized. However, Malala has different thoughts on this. She believes that “education is neither Western nor Eastern,” but a human right that everyone has (Yousafzai 162).
