Dreaming is a powerful imagination we interact with in our daily routines either in the shower, the classroom, or even when we are sitting. We are constantly dreaming about scenarios that we wish would become a reality. Who said that a dream has to be a dream? Why not turn that dream into a reality? So, imagine a world where everyone is equal, has the same rights as one another, and is just simply happy to be living in a wonderful place. The world would be a great place to live, right?! Sadly, in reality we are nowhere close to that dream. Although dreaming may bring you temporary happiness, you should never stop dreaming untill it becomes a reality.

She tells the people that not only will she be telling her story but also the stories of her sisters from Pakistan. This takes the focus of from her and puts it on those girls that could not speak because of fear. She tells the people the story of her sisters, Shazia and Kainat, and how they were also fired at along with her on the bus and as well as heartbreaking story about Kainat and what she went through. Kainat Soomro went through severe abuse and extreme violence and her brother was even killed. But what surprised the people was that Kainat did not succumb and stay quite for fear at further personation and which, personally makes the audience want to fight for women rights to an education an give back those many girls who deserve to have a chance at living their dreams. Malala says, “My brave sisters Shazia and Kainat who were also shot that day on our school bus. But they have not stopped learning” this one sentence really sticks out (Malala Yousafzai - Nobel Lecture). It inspires the audience to think about how blessed they are and opens their eyes to not take education for granted. By telling their stories, Malala leaves the audience wondering how many girls have been abused violated, and
Malala Yousafzai has made many claims for what she believes in. Those without a voice need to be heard. The taliban cannot quiet her. Nonviolence is one of the World’s greatest traditions. Education is one of the most important human rights. Yousafzai is able to support these claims with the way she speaks. She is splendid at using rhetoric, persuasive language with techniques like figures of speech. Malala Yousafzai uses repetition, pathos, and ethos to support her claims.

The journey of Malala’s life has been fighting to get education for young girls of Pakistan. Malala wants to show everyone how valuable girls are and that they don’t need to be hidden away from the public, “My mother always told me,’hide your face, people are looking at you.’ I would reply, ‘it does not matter; I am also looking at them’” (Yousafzai 43).

Few people are fearless speakers. As students, we generally feel the rumble of butterflies in our stomachs, but the most we have to lose is a good grade.

In the speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" Sojourner Truth gives examples of how she was robbed of womanhood and the amazing gift of motherhood. As a slave in the late 1700's to early 1800's, Truth is used for manual labor. Many people would expect Truth has gained others respect due to her unyielding work as a slave, but in reality all she wants is the respect of being a mother. The time period in which this speech is given gives Sojourner Truth the opportunity to explain her relations with white men and women and testify to the unequal treatment she has received. During Truth's speech she demands men's respect by alluding to nasty comments they recite throughout her speech and addressing these misconceptions. Although times have changed and women

In her book, I Am Malala, Malala refers back to a traumatizing experience when the Taliban shoots her in the head for supporting the education of women. She states, “A few girls looked in my direction. He raised his arm and pointed at me. Some of the girls screamed, and I squeezed Moniba’s hand” (Yousafzai, Pg. 7). This constructs the credibility of Malala because she has personal experience with being oppressed for being a woman. In addition, she almost faced death for being a woman that is inclined to her education, which also benefits in constructing her credibility. The usage of Ethos supports Malala’s agenda of fighting for the rights of

One day, Malala’s father took her to a local press club where she talked about the Talibans taking away her educational rights.
