Malala Yousfazai stood up for women's education when she was only a teenager. “Why's that?” The answer is simple. She, unlike other people in her country,had access to books. Books are a gateway to knowledge. There are books about history, biology, anything someone would want to learn about. They provide us with facts. This why nazis burned books considered”un- German ”. When people have access to information, they'll rebel against injustice and books lend that wisdom. As said in the second paragraph, books provide knowledge. But they also help shape beliefs. Millions have dedicated their lives to certain religions after reading the Bible ,Quran ,and Torah. These are novels that were written thousands of years ago.
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). Malala will no longer stand for
In the article 10 Reasons for Banning Books and 5 Much Better Reasons not to, it states that the books teach us vocabulary, history, and new ways of thinking. “Every year I receive at least a dozen invitations to be commencement speaker at colleges and high schools. My books are probably more widely used in schools than those of any other living American fiction writer.”-excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut’s letter. Books are known for their choice of complex vocabulary. We use non-fictional books to learn about real events in history. Non-fictional books and articles show children a new way of thinking. Many books are used in an educational
I began to read not out of entertainment but out of curiosity, for in each new book I discovered an element of real life. It is possible that I will learn more about society through literature than I ever will through personal experience. Having lived a safe, relatively sheltered life for only seventeen years, I don’t have much to offer in regards to worldly wisdom. Reading has opened doors to situations I will never encounter myself, giving me a better understanding of others and their situations. Through books, I’ve escaped from slavery, been tried for murder, and lived through the Cambodian genocide. I’ve been an immigrant, permanently disabled, and faced World War II death camps. Without books, I would be a significantly more close-minded person. My perception of the world has been more significantly impacted by the experiences I've gained through literature than those I've gained

Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. It is the very same “legacy of change” that Nelson Mandela used that inspires what Malala Yousafzai does today. At the age of 15, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls’ education. Since this appalling incident, Malala has gone on to be the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize, start the “Malala Fund”, that funds education in developing countries, and is currently the figure of women’s rights. Malala has been constantly speaking, advocating and helping women and children acquire the rights they deserve. In her powerful speech to the U.N, she opened the world’s eyes to the truth about education
Imagine a world with no education. It is hard not to imagine a society where no knowledge, no future, or no life. If the world had no education; how will we build our sources? How will life know what is right and what is wrong? How would society know about the stages of life from past, present, and future? Just think how empty the world would be without education. Malala Yousafzai, an activist of woman and children's right of education known for her courageous acts to improve education globally. Malala Yousafzai has positively benefitted modern society by speaking up for her rights of education and by inspiring others to join her to create equality for all.
Being shot in the face and seriously injured, did not stop Malala Yousafzai from pursuing her dreams. She did not morally agree with her government’s treatment of women, so she fought for her beliefs. Malala grew up in a rural village in Pakistan and was forced to follow customs she did not believe in. Swat Valley changed to a strictly ruled village with discrimination towards women. Malala created awareness around the world of the situation and stood up for her rights to education. Through Malala Yousafzai’s painful experience with growing up in a dangerous part of Pakistan, she created awareness in hope to regain the rights to educational opportunities for women.
“I dream of a country where education would prevail” (Malala Yousafzai). Education around the world has begun to be overlooked more and more each year; women’s education especially. Fighting to learn is one of the many problems women face each day, additionally it does not help when the opportunity to be educated is not given to over 6 million teenage girls alone. The women that are confident enough to stand up and fight for schooling are usually respected. Being one of the very few people in Pakistan who fought for better teachings, Malala is now well respected in many countries. Malala Yousafzai (Yoo-saff-zay) was shot by the Taliban in 2012; after a long recovery, she miraculously advocates for education around the world.
Books are the blooming flowers of knowledge and wisdom. Without books you would be depriving the world from obtaining knowledge about culture, heritage and literature. No books of any kind should be banned from the library.
“I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai is a beautiful and hard breaking book at the same time. This book is an autobiography that describes the author childhood and her support on the right for girls to have an education. Through this autobiography, Malala describes the restrictions that are imposed on females in her country. There are many that believe that woman of Pakistan should not be educated in the other hands there are a few that oppose this idea. Malala’s support on education for girls almost cost her life, since she was shot by the Taliban. From a multicultural perspective Malala’s story touches on topics such; culture shock, discrimination within your own culture, oppression, religion, family and woman’s right. Despite the opposition
In the article ‘’ I am Malala” by Yousafzai it brings a lot of inspiration towards women who do not have the gut to speak up, not only for themselves but for the rights they demand on having. Although Malala had to deal with a major conflict she still managed to not only fight through but also manage her attitude along the way. Malala’s dad showed pathos in her book by expressing his emotion towards his daughter because he would show how worried he was, but at the same time showed how proud and happy he was for who she became. Malala never took anything from anyone whether it was an opinion or fact she knew that she did not have to follow strict rules that her culture and family tradition had. Malala’s dad said ‘’ Malala will live as free as a bird’’(Yousafzai,Page
Since the world began, men have been perceived to be superior to women. Women have had to work and fight hard for their rights. Girls have faced injustice and have been silenced across the globe. Women are encouraged to stay at home and watch over their children. In the city of Swat, Pakistan, girls are frowned upon when they are born and are discouraged to go to school, as education was only important for boys. Women must be accompanied by men when seen in public and have to wear a burqa to cover up. In Pakistan, women are confined to the domestic world. Malala Yousafzai stood up for women’s rights and faced injustice. While most girls chose to stay silent, Malala spoke out and fought for women across her country and their right to education. In the book I am Malala, Malala Yousafzai proved that women’s rights were oppressed and restricted under the reign of the Taliban.
Malala, not only wanted women's rights for herself,but for all the people in the world that faced discrimination. She believed all women and children deserved the right of an education. “I speak not for myself but , but for all girls and boys….I am here to speak up for the right of education of every child. i want education for the sons and the daughters of all the extremist especially the Taliban.”Malala spoke these words in her speech at United Nations. She made it clear for everyone that not only was she fighting for herself, but everyone else as
“Where they burn books, they will, in the end, also burn people.” (Henley, 2) I believe this quote is absolutely true. Books are people's way of expressing themselves and their thoughts. It's a way of getting a message across. So ultimately, the people that burn books end up burning the people.
Literature keeps us educated and it allows us to express ourselves. Reading and writing is needed in all aspects of our lives. For almost every job you have to either know how to read or write. Can you think of a job that doesn’t require literature? Even a waiter at a restaurant has to write down the customer orders. Without literature, we wouldn’t be able to live our life, because there would be too many problems. No literature means no communication. No communication means we’re all lonely because we can’t interact with other people. No literature also means no education. Without education how could we know anything. Think of all the technology we have and all the science we know. Reading and writing is the foundation of learning and without this there would be no technology. Yes, that means there wouldn’t be any computers or smart phones. I also believe that schools should continue to keep reading and writing courses. During these courses, it allows us to connect with other people and it also gives people a chance to express themselves. Another key factor is that these courses will allow us to get a better understanding of the
