Reflection Of I Am Malala

each other. Even with the Taliban’s increasing oppression Malala’s family is there for her and supported her through it all. Malala’s village and friends are basically all family. Even when she was shot her village and friends were praying for her. She says “People prayed to God to spare me,and I was spared for a reason- to use my life to helping people..” ( Yousafzai 301). This quote really shows how much her village really cares about her and her family. While Malala was at the hospital she read Alice in Wonderland, and what she wrote about how she interpreted it was really interesting. She says “She(Alice) had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where She was going, and I thought if you want to achieve a goal, there will be hurdles in your way, but you

As a child Malala was always interested in school. She constantly asked to read books and hear stories. That was all until the a terrorist group called the Taliban took over her home town Swat Valley in Pakistan. When the Taliban took over they banned young girls from going to school. From there on Malala chose to invest in her education and was secretly taught math, reading, and writing.

She speaks about all the women and children not just for herself. Malala is a very strong girl who stood up for her rights. She said that she doesn’t even hate the taliban that shot her, “her soul is telling her to be peace and love everyone.” This is saying that even though some people didn’t think the same as her she still loves every single one of

She was shot in a van on the way back to school by a taliban soldier on the way back to her house. She was very lucky to survive the shot, but her left eye was badly injured. When Malala woke up in a England hospital, here left eye was blurry and everyone looked funny. She now fights for women's rights, like education. Almost all kids ( boys and girls) and adults ( women and men). Help her in this struggle for education. Malala also wants to help kids in Africa, because she wants education for all. Many people around the world donate to Africa, including Malala and Rowan Blanchard. Malala also dislikes the travel ban that Trump made. She thinks that anyone could go to America if they wanted to, except terrorists and terrorist groups. Malala commented, “ Well, when the president banned Muslim- majority countries, that was really disappointing, And I was deeply hurt because I’m Muslim. And to me, it just seemed like directly blaming Muslims, and that is not a

She finds it strange that the females are restricted and are only supposed to have babies and take care of the household. Malala knows that something isn’t right but she still goes about her daily life.

From a young age Malala has worked close with her community, since her father was an activist to make education available for all children of Swat. Since her father was an activist in their community, Malala too learned from her father and walked in his footsteps. With learning the importance of education Malala also gained wisdom. A prime example of this wisdom comes from her book when she talks about how at times she would think about what she would do if the Taliban came for her. Taking a more aggressive and physical approach Malala would then realize that would take away from her message that she would want them to hear, even if they were meant to do her harm.

Malala reflects upon the personal choice that she made to stand up for her human rights, specifically the right for women to be educated. The personal choice that she makes threatens her life, forcing her to leave her country. Even after almost being killed by the Taliban, Malala still speaks out about human rights and the

To begin with, Malala can be described as a determined. In 2007, when she was ten, the Taliban took over the Swat Valley. The Taliban is an Islamic group

Born on July 12, 1997, Malala grew up in a very popular tourist spot. Mingora was known most commonly for its summer festivals until a few years later the Taliban tried to take control of it. This town was all Malala Youzafzai knew, she resided in it for most of her life. Clearly, she was too young to live alone so Malala stayed alongside her parents and her two little brothers, Khushal and Atal, who all were very supportive of her goals. Youzafzai is fluent in three languages, Pashto, English, and Urdu, making her very

Malala was a special girl. She lived in Mingora, Pakistan, where it eventually was controlled by Taliban. She attended a school that her father founded which was taken away by the laws against education for girls that the Taliban was creating to destroy. In the year of 2009, she became a blogger for BBC to talk about the horror of the control that the Taliban were achieving. But on the same year, she was threatened was eventually shot in the head by a Taliban. It was an ordinary day and “Malala was sitting in her school bus when a man climbed on board and demanded to know “Which one of you is Malala?” When she answered, “I am Malala”, the man opened fire” (Kennedy- Macfoy). However she survived the bullet and actually gave one of the biggest messages ever, education for all girls. No one knew should would live and will make a change on the gender roles towards education, especially the Tailban who thought they have gotten away of the assassination. She gave a lot of speeches towards this powerful disapproval of women education and to create a stand that women deserve the right to education themselves. As her ideas and message became to spread, “she became one of the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize” (Kettler). She also got her own day called Malala day on July 12, 2015 where she continued to take action on women education and with Malala funds she was able to open a school in Lebanon. Malala became a symbol over the education for girls and the disagreement towards gender

Malala was only 10 and as she already understood the major issue of her home country, Pakistan, as regards to their position on women’s rights. She realized in Pakistan women did not have as many rights as men such as the right of education. From that moment, she knew that she would fight for peace and democracy for the Pakistan women in her future.

She is a model for everyone, but for me, she is I in the future. I am not in the same situation as she, but I still can hold power to change people’s live. I feel the sense of responsibilities for the illiteracy of many children because of disease, famine, or only a lack of basic needs. As soon as I can, I will bring those children the necessities for education: a pen and a book. In my opinion, if Malala can build a school to educate, I can build a community that will continually provide her schools with all she needs so that children do not have to quit classes and find happiness in a future educated

Malala writes about the social normalities of her culture and how it was not very strict before the Taliban emerged in their valley.

One major connection that could be made between Malala and my own experiences was public speaking. Malala took similar footsteps as her father when she wanted to find a way to impress him after stealing and lying to her family. “Notices had gone up at school for a public speaking competition /.../ I remembered the story of my father surprising my grandfather and longed to do the same. When we got the topic, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was ‘Honesty is the best policy’” (Yousafzai 108). Although Malala did not win first place, she made her father proud and discovered one of her best talents that influenced her to speak out in the future. This was similar to my junior year when I tried out to be a member of the

The book “I am Malala” tells the story of eleven year old girl that campaigned and fought for woman’s rights and for the Taliban to allow them to go to school. Malala had an extremely tight nit family bond along with very supportive parents. She always had their support especially from her father Ziauddin. I believe that if I had a daughter so young that wanted to make such a big difference in her country I would stand by her one-hundred percent and push her to set out her dreams. That is exactly what her parents did, they always encouraged her to do whatever she put her mind to even now in present day.
