Laila Marchione Ms. Williams English 10 Honors, Period 5 April 17, 2024 No Violence: The Power of Books and Pens In the “Speech at the United Nations”, given by victim of a Taliban shooting, Malala Yousafzai, she repeatedly uses rhetorical appeals throughout her speech, the most effective being pathos. After being victimized by the Taliban, Yousafzai shares her experience not to make others feel sorrowful for her, but to stand up for all women and children’s rights. Malala Yousafzai uses pathos as a way to not make women feel sad for themselves, but to empower them: “They are afraid of women. The power of the voice of women frightens them” (par. 19). The syllable of the syllable. Yousafzai makes it a point that the women are not being victimized
Malala Yousafzai, the teenage girl who was shot by the Taliban, the youngest person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, a girl brave enough to speak up against the Taliban, a girl who wanted a change for women’s equality and education, and a young girl who was once an average teenage girl. Malala has had many influences in life but the two most important ones are Ziauddin Yousafzai, her father, and the Taliban in Swat Valley. Her father has shown her such great love since birth and has allowed her to have a voice. At the same time, the Taliban has inspired her to speak out and strive for change. These two influences have motivated Malala as she has become an activist and a voice for change.
In the country of Pakistan more than seven million children are not enrolled in primary school due to the beliefs of the Taliban. Fifty- four percent of this statistic is of the female population. Although these numbers may be a shock to most, this is an ordinary way of living to many young girls of pakistan. Malala Yousafzai-a young activist known for campaigning for education and equality-challenged the Taliban’s ethics and fought to raise awareness, showing the injustice of education in her country of Pakistan. In her narrative “ I am Malala”, she uses rhetorical devices to strengthen her central message and deepen the connection between her and the audience. Her use of pathos, imagery, and ethos are particularly prominent and allows her readers to have a greater understanding of her overall implication.
Oftentimes, being in the center of conflict, you feel powerless, especially if you are the one being targeted. This was true for Eliezer Wiemer when he was forced into a concentration camp at the age of not even 15. During his time in various concentration camps, Eliezer did small acts which can be seen in opposition of ultra-nationalism.
Malala Yousafzai, was once another ordinary girl struggling in her hometown Swat in Pakistan. Now she is a renowned author for her book I Am Malala, where she speaks about all the imbalances and injustices that occur in Pakistan. Her life was threatened by the Taliban when she fought for her cause: gaining the right for women's education in her country. The Taliban had banned education for women, yet Malala risked her life to accomplish her goal. Throughout her book she uses an inspirational tone, empowering diction, and vivid imagery to truly expose the Taliban for the corrupt educational system they have set for women in Pakistan.
Malala has made an impact in many people's lives by sharing her thoughts on the importance of education internationally. There are many daily struggles in the Taliban, they have banned girls’ education which is something Malala believes it is indispensable. Not only does Malala want to continue going to school, she wants all the other girls to acquire the same education and throughout history, she stood up in opposition to the Taliban’s to develop what she was speaking up for. As Malala’s voice was heard through books and interviews, many perspectives changed about the definition of education and the profit a person can get out of it. Education can only get a person so far, it is they key to success due to the opportunities it brings to an individual, Yousafzai represents the importance of having an education for the better in someone’s future. All of those “fights” have put a target on her head, her one and only dream was to go to school and she obtained that.
Yousafzai attempts to engage her audience for the protection of children by saying, “Dear brothers and sisters, we want schools and education for every child’s bright future” (Yousafzai, 3). Malala mentions children in her speech to connect with those in the crowd that sympathetic for the cause of children. It’s possible that if she spoke on behalf of the children too, as opposed to just women, that she could rally more people to fight for education. Finally, Yousafzai’s utilization of pathos is successful in creating an emotional drive in her audience by sharing her testimony and accounts of people who also suffer for speaking up for their right to education, peace, and

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, is an exceptional addition to the AP english curriculum as it forms a more deep respect for the education we receive and how fortunate we are to be as educated as we are. Malala Yousafzai is a teenager, a normal teenager who obsessed over Twilight and American movies like any other normal teenaged girl. She is likeable, respectable, and easy to make a connection with, despite that she is from a different country and culture. Her book teaches perseverance, standing up for not only yourself and what you believe in, but for others and the well being of the world. Lessons like these are important for not only students in high school, but for anyone that has faced defeat and needs to be encouraged to continue to fight.
Malala Yousafzai, the fifteen year old girl shot in the face for speaking out. Her story begins just like any other girl in her hometown, Swat Valley, Pakistan; an area where women struggle to keep their basic rights. One of those rights being the right to education, which then grew to be the main influence in Malala’s advocacy and eventual worldwide campaign for women’s schooling. This happened to be against the edicts of the political group, the Taliban, an extremist islamic party in Pakistan responsible for a civil war and downgrading the roles of women, who used Malala’s movement as a rationale to shoot her. Malala’s courage and determination through all of this is what made her stand out between other girls in her small valley, and it
Picture this. The date is September 9th, 2011. You just got off of the phone with a loved one for the last time. You’re experiencing terrorism for the first and last time. The worst part, you ask?
Teen activists are ambitious, passionate, and brave people who help our world. These teenagers want to make a difference in the world, mostly for rights of other people. A few of these include Malala Yousafzai, Alex Lin, and Iqbal Masih. These three teen activists stand up for people’s rights and help make the world a better place. Malala Yousafzai is trying to allow girls to go to school, Alex Lin is trying to stop e-waste, and Iqbal Masih stopped child slave labor.
How far would you go to stand up for what you believe in? Would you stand up to guns? Would you stand up against your own family? Would you stand up to state legislators? Against all odds, teens activists stand up for what they believe in by- speaking up for education, violence, and ecology.
Life almost straight. Similar to a roller coaster, ups, downs, twists, and turns. One will rarely have a life the exact way they plan . That has to do with the obstacles that form in one’s path. One must decide whether they want to overcome them or just stop and turn around. Some people will help lead others where they need to go. People will always try to force others to fail. Not everything will be as planned. Life will not always prove straight.
Malala Yousafzai, where do we start well if you haven't heard of her there a lot to say about malala. Well, she is one of the biggest advocates for girl education. She is also the first muslim advocate for girl education and rights but, what inspired her to become what she is today? When Malala Yousafzai was a little girl she never understood why women had to be with a man when they went out or, when a boy is born it's a celebration but, when a baby girl is born all the parents get is pity. Little did she know how many battles she would have to face in life because she was a girl.
