Similarities Between Jahar's World And I Am Malala

Activist, Malala Yousafzai in her book “I Am Malala,” delineates that the Taliban were going around depriving young women from their education and how she stands up and fights for young women and herself to stay and go to school. Malala’s purpose is to exude the idea that education is a basic human right and that no one should be deprived from it. She adopts a sentimental tone in order to get to her audience. In her book she uses many emotional appeals, logical appeals, she uses credibility, and imagery. Malala stood up for what she believed in, she may be inspiring her readers to never give in to something they don’t think is right.

“Girls should not be going to school” said Mullah Ghulamullah in the autobiography, I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai (94). People all around Malala believed that girls’ should not be educated, and that they should stay home and learn how to cook for their families. Malala refused to give up fighting against the banning of education for females. Malala’s story displays that everyone has the ability to speak up for what they believe in. The title, I am Malala, depicts how females have the power to change the world. Every child should be educated, no matter their gender. Learning can create new opportunities, allow people to grow, and have an impact wherever they are, just as it did for Malala. Anyone can create change, no matter how

Throughout this well-written, emotional and inspiring novel about Malala Yousafzai we have not only seen who she is as a person, but we have seen the challenges in her life and we have come to learn her story due to the rhetorical strategies she has included all throughout the book. Malala has shown us the use of pathos, logos and diatyposis. Malala has always been a different person in her family ever since she was little and that has helped her become the women she is today, the woman who stood up to the Taliban and survived a head shot bullet, but most of all she is a girl who stood up for children's right at a young age by simply going to school. Malala’s story isn't about herself, it's about her country and what the Taliban are doing

I am Malala: The Girl Who Got Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai provides the reader with many intriguing themes and stupendous quotes. One specific theme in this autobiography is the impact one child can have on the world. For centuries, children have been taught to be seen and not heard. Children have been expected to stay in the shadows and inconspicuous especially in times of tyranny. In order to even attempt to change the world, children were often forced by their parents to wait until adulthood. Unfortunately, in scenarios where the child is forced to wait the child’s desire for change often tends to dwindle when they are forced to wait. This is similar to how a flame dies when it is suppressed by a lid.

Her autobiography, I am Malala, tells her journey of growing up in Pakistan advocating for girl’s right to education. Like Matilda, Malala is growing up in a dangerous and war torn environment. In a Taliban controlled area Malala suffered the loss of her right to an education when she reached the age of thirteen. She also suffered the loss of everything she had ever known when she was forced to move to England. A child narrator in I am Malala focuses on the heart of the problem; one girls small and simple wish to further her education. Like Matilda, Malala finds peace of mind in her war torn home by immersing herself in academic pursuits such as reading books and committing herself to her schoolwork. However, just like Matilda reading is a dangerous activity in her home village. However, as Malala lives in Pakistan the consequences of rebelling are much more severe and pose much greater risk to Malala and her family. Unfortunately this means that Malala’s emotional ‘escape’ from the Taliban only puts her into further danger. Both Malala and Oskar are in some aspects of their character, very precocious. Oskar has knowledge and vocabulary well beyond his years and has experienced grief that not many young children have had to deal with. This maturity can also be seen in Malala’s mature perspective on terrorists and her courage in standing up to adults. A perfect example of this is when Malala explains what she would do when confronted with a terrorist, “I would plead, ‘OK, shoot me, but first listen to me. What you are doing is wrong. I’m not against you personally, I just want every girl to go to school.’” Malala’s maturity in dealing with the horrifying presence of the Taliban is inspirational, and it is clear to see why in 2014 Malala became the youngest person in history to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. However, like Oskar Malala has moments where we see her childlike nature, such as when

Even if they could, according to Unicef, many schools cannot meet the needs of young girls in terms of safety and quality of education, a problem which could be mitigated with better funding. Sexism is another reason why girls in the Middle East are unable to receive an education. In the book, I am Malala, Malala describes how the culture of Pakistan favors boys, writing how “rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children” (Yousafzai 13). This cultural role set for girls pressures them to remain in the house, showing how they would be less likely to receive an education. Oppression of girls’ rights to education also comes in physical forms, such as the Taliban, an organization that is explained by Malala to oppress the young

I’ve always wondered what led people to commit the actions they commit? Or what leads them to even think the way that they do so vigorously? “I am Malala” written by Malala herself, has answered the many questions we all have in life,and has come to the conclusion that is; “don't wait for someone to speak up for you, speak up for yourself.” - Malala Yousafzai. I have come to a realization that analyzing “I Am Malala” through a feminist lens is the most suitable and suggestible when reading the novel in order to enhance one's understanding of the text.

“I am Malala”, written by Malala Yousafzai, Christina Lamb, and Patricia McCormick. “I raise up my voice, not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.” - Malala Yousafzai. The main ideas I’ll will be discussing in my essay is Fazlullah's announcement about schools closing, when Malala leaves and returns to Swat and her shooting and recovery. Fazlullah’s announcement that all schools will close and how Malala took the announcement and carried on going to school to show that girls should be allowed to go to school. When Malala leaves Swat, then comes back to see some of her town destroyed and that some army men were using their school as bunkers. When Malala is shot by

Malala’s extreme bravery that is evident even long after her tragic shooting in October 2012 captivates supporters and shows people that no matter what happens, dreams should never be abandoned. Malala tells the story of the shooting in her inspiring “Speech at the United Nations.” “They thought that the bullets would silence us… but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born” (Malala). For Yousafzai the experiences she had with those trying to suppress her only renewed her longing for education and

In Malala Yousafzai’s book,I Am Malala, she reveals true moments that occurred in her life including tragic, life-changing events. In this excerpt with adjectives and adverbs intact, imagery is incredibly prevalent. As a reader emotions are stirred and anticipation is built as the words fly across the page. Malala poignantly details the struggles she endured in her stand for educational rights and as she was personally attacked by the Taliban. Incredibly, she survived the attack and became an even stronger advocate; she addressed members of the United Nations and has become a face and a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Even within this small excerpt, one can sense the severity of the situation and the courage it took to

Justice is a very complex concept; many obstacles must be overcome, and one must take many steps, each of which is crucial in the long journey; slip up and one risks being back at square one; this journey changes one’s identity forever through new experiences, failures, and success. As previously suggested, the trails to justice and identity are infinitely intertwined. Both are extremely complex, and each of the steps to justice plays a highly important role. All of the steps, as well as the discovery of one’s true identity, can be found throughout both modern and classical literature. By analyzing pieces of literature, one can more deeply understand this journey to justice. In I am Malala, a recollection of Malala Yousafzai’s experiences

In contrast, Malala’s attempt to create social change was far more dangerous. Malala and many other girls in Pakistan are denied the right to education when the Taliban seize power in the Swat Valley, Pakistan. Malala’s struggle takes place in contemporary Pakistan where speaking out is considered very dangerous. The memoir revels the destruction of Pakistan founder, Ali Jinnah’s original vision of a ‘land of tolerance’ by increasing Islamisation; two military dictatorships ; corrupt politicians, poverty, illiteracy and the rise of the ‘forces of militancy and extremism’ exemplified by the Taliban, who was led by Maulana Fazlullah and the imposition of terror and fear under the guise of sharia law. The repression of individual freedom made people fearful to speak out. The Taliban had banned women from going ‘outside without a male relative to accompany (them)’ and told people ‘stop listening to music, watching movies and dancing’. The Taliban had ‘blown up 400 schools’ and had held public whippings demonstrated the consequences of disobedience, as did the execution of ‘infidels’ like young dancer, Shabana, whose body was dumped in the public square. Both texts, however more so Malala than Rita reveal that speaking out in a volatile and dangerous political environment does involve more risks, but is essential for change to occur.

From a young age, Malala Yousafzai's life was very different when compared to other girls in her area. At that time, education for girls was not very important, and not completely right according to religious practices. This did not go for Malala and her family though, they did something that needed bravery and strength. Her father ran a girls school, and kept it going even through “rough times”. These “rough times” included the Taliban, Fazlullah, etc. It started off with the radio or ‘mullah,’ where a man named Fazlullah would share advice such as, “Stop going to movies. Stop dancing. Stop, he begged, or God will send another earthquake to punish us all.” (Yousafzai, pg. 39). But soon, advice on a radio later turned into a horrid nightmare.

The outstanding novel, I Am Malala: The girl who stood up for education and was shot by the Taliban, was written by Malala Yousafazai and Christina Lamb. Published by Back Bay Books at New York in June 2015, it takes place in The Swat Valley of Pakistan from 1997 to 2013 and mainly discusses the issue of women’s rights. This novel argues that women all over the world should have the right to an education, including many strengths such as cultural detail and emotion as well as weaknesses such as many Urdu words and complicated passages about global affairs. It demonstrates these strengths and shortcomings all throughout the book in even doses, resulting in a very intruiging story.

Since the first time that I looked through the syllabus I knew that I had two books in my mind that I wanted to read: “I’m Malala” and “Trafficked.” However, I already knew Malala, not her entire story or the obstacles she had to overcome, but I knew how brave she was. My decision to pick “I’m Malala” was based on my curiosity to understand Malala’s story and my admiration for her. I wanted to understand how, when, and why she was shot for fighting for something that in my reality seems to be a right of any human being: access to education. Also, how a young girl can have this mentality and courage to fight against an entire culture and system. Now that I finished the book, I understand Malala and I truly believe she is a special human being. I respect not only her but her family who so bravely was able to teach her values and give her pieces of advice which did not correspond to the same values that Pakistan’s culture wants that, especially a woman, to have. In this analysis, I will be using the following terms: empathy, perception, categorization, macroculture, microculture, muted group, power, human rights, ethnocentrism, and discrimination.
