Malala is a Pakistani citizen who gained international recognition for campaigning and confronting Taliban ideals against women's rights especially education. A few years ago she published a book called "I am Malala" where she discusses the problems she faced along her life in search for the right of education. The narrative gives the reader a window into how politics, tradition and family tradition's influence Malala's personality and thoughts.
Since the beginning of the book, Malala describes how her life used to be like in the Swat Valley, the region where she lived most of her lifetime. It is important to keep in mind the way that Malala uses the text to express her opinion and thoughts. Different from any other memoir, Malala does not clearly state her opinion, she usually mentions various facts and situations that happened to her or people that she knows. Therefore letting the reader conclude what her opinion is. Even though she is considered the "voice of the oppressed," what Malala probably does is oppress The reason why she got caught by the Taliban, was by speaking in every channel she could, and by exposing herself in that way, they were able to find her. One of the main problems in the book, mentioned by Malala, is corruption. "Lack o of education was the root of all Pakistan's problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected." -Through the words of her father, Malala argues that education will be the only thing that can cause corruption to decrease.In the narrative Malala also questions the reason Taliban truly disapprove women going to school, and an interview for the comedy central she concludes: "Education helps you know about your human
After reading the book ‘’I Am Malala’’ I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen-year-old girl who got shot because she fought for women’s rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential.
Malala Yousafzai being a completely different person that any girl in her country demonstrates the gruesome ,and savage nature of the men and women in the country of Pakistan. She not only shows the unawareness driven by fright among the people there, but displays how horrid it truly was. Influences of a misinterpretation form of Islam yield the innocent under the hands of the miserable forces of the evil such as the Taliban. Subsequently, the country of Pakistan under Taliban rule has gone through continuous fear and discriminations that strip girls from their education. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani women who only wanted an education, was obligated to view her life at its worst and at the same time, view the desire and dreams of girls who brawl for there education that they have been denied.
Malala was raised in a family where her parents supported her education. Once Malala became educated, she wanted to focus on educating other girls as well: “I wanted children everywhere to appreciate their education, so I said I now knew firsthand the suffering of millions of children who are deprived of an education.”(Yousafzai 112) Malala spoke out to public services and worldwide services to spread the message of education. By speaking out, Malala indicates the importance of education and why more kids should be educated:“Girls are getting more deprived of our rights…’ … it wasn’t me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn’t.”(Yousafzai 71) Malala helps develop the theme of education by her actions. Malala also uses her feelings to help the reader relate to what is happening throughout the

I remember Malala, as a very talented young woman with a great deal of virtue, when she has her mind set on something there is no stopping her, for example when the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where she lived with her family, their was one girl and the only girl who repudiated against them and refused to keep quiet on her rights and the rights of all people to acquire an education. Malala Yousafzai, She tries to bring new light to an old world country.
America is very unique as a country especially during the prosperous times of peace, the country is frequently undergoes drastic political and social changes usually seen in other countries only in times of war such as NAZI Germany or Republic people of China. Since the revolution won the independence of America nearly 200 years ago, America has undergone change after change.

When Malala was born very few people came to congratulate her parents because the birth of a girl is seen as a failure of the parents in her culture. She was born and raised in Sway Valley, Northeastern Pakistan. Swat Valley has beautiful scenery which attracts a lot of tourism until the Taliban took over the valley. Malala’s parents Ziauddin and Toor Pekai were very kind humble people from the mountain villages. Malala’s father was a very well educated man who grew up studying poetry and literature. He also started the Khushal School a three years before Malala was born. ”My father started the school three years before I was born, and he was a teacher, accountant, and principal—as well as a janitor, handyman, and chief mechanic.” (Chapter 1, Page 20) In Malala’s culture, girls are refused an education or even simply knowing how to read and write.

Malala Yousafzai begins her story as a young girl who lives in Swat Valley, Pakistan as a teenager she becomes extremely outspoken about her beliefs of women’s rights and education. In the process of standing up for what she believes in the Taliban targets her, tracks her down, and shoots her in the head. I Am Malala, written by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb is an autobiography about Malala’s life from when she was a small girl to her teenage years. Malala, the protagonist of this story may be described as determined, brave, and intelligent.
The book, I Am Malala, gave a powerful message about activism, family, women’s rights, but most importantly, the power of education. Malala Yousafzai had a very strong belief in education and would not stop at anything to guarantee that every child was able to go to school. Malala grew up believing that education was the key to success, but not everyone else believed that. Malala lived in a society where women were not treated as equals, and soon appeared laws prohibiting women’s right to attend school. Malala was extremely determined to continue her education, she even snuck to school, hid her books and abandoned her school uniform so she would not be noticed. Malala becomes vocal about education and gives her opinion in interviews for many news stations. Many people in her country feared to express their opinions, however, Malala wanted to be the change. Malala expressed her belief that “If people were silent, nothing would change.” (Yousafzai 140). Although Malala knew that it was dangerous to speak against the Taliban, she suggests her opinions in interviews to draw international attention to her cause. Malala dreamed of getting an education so she could become a politician and help her country. But when she was 10, the Taliban took control of her town, making it a law that girls were banned from
It began as an ordinary day in Mingora, Pakistan, for a young girl returning home from school on her school bus. Suddenly, a masked gunman rushed into the bus and shouted, “Who is Malala?” Her friends on the bus looked back at her, and in the blink of an eye she was shot on the left side of her face. This incident was the spark that ignited a call for change in education around the world. Malala Yousafzai was the face of this change. She made significant contributions to female education rights by being an education activist and urging children to speak out and fight for their rights. She forever changed the lives of Pakistani girls who today benefit from free education and resources with numerous schools around their country.
Education might not be the cure of the world’s problem but it’s important to be knowledgeable. It’s important to have an education because without it, it makes a person vulnerable to be guided in the wrong direction. Not everyone believes education is important in life and especially for a woman. Malala Yousafzai tells us her story and her fight for education in her book I am Malala. She tells us about her families struggle for the right of education and not just education in general but education for woman. She was raised in Pakistan and its one the counties in which some people believe a woman should not go to school or have freedom. Education was not as easy for her as other girls around the world. Sometimes people don’t take education as a privileged but as a right, but unfortunately it’s not this case everywhere and it wasn’t the case for Malala. She was also able to see by firsthand how illiteracy can be a danger to a person and how others can take advantage of it.
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.
Death Death is inevitable for every person, but what happens after death? Every single person is destined to die at some point in their life and no one can change that fact. In the poem “Because I could not stop for Death”, Emily Dickinson offers her thoughts on what happens to a person after death. She concludes that every person heads toward eternity.
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’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation. This speech is powerful, eye opening and deserves to be heard. She is addressing two audiences, one being the people that follow her same belief for education, some of those people would be at this convention and the other being the people that disagree with her purpose, like the Taliban. Yousafzai was in 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, which used to be a popular tourist destination. As of now the region has been taken into control of the Taliban. Her father is also an anti- Taliban activist and educator. She, her father and tons of others just want thing to be like they used to. Where they had a safe neighborhood and didn't have to worry about violence. She delivered a speech riddled with excellent use of rhetoric to convey her argument. Malala’s whole purpose for her fight for education of the youth is so that it will stop future violence, She displays this purpose in her speech by using outward focus, compassion and personal experience to her audiences.
