Research Paper On Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai is not an ordinary nineteen-year-old girl. Even from an early age Malala always had a thirst for learning. Her parents ran a school nearby their home in the Swat District of Pakistan. Alongside her father, Malala became an advocate for education. Malala created a blog in which she talked about her fear that her school would be raided like so many of the ones around her. One day while coming home from school Malala was the target of an attack in which she suffered a gunshot wound that went through her face, shoulder, and neck. Following her attack Malala did not stop her advocating. The incident gained her worldwide attention which she used to spread her message. In 2014 Malala was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. During

Malala continues to be humble even as she explains how she is the youngest person to ever receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Pakistan is runner up for the country with the most children out of schooling, and it angered Malala that girls were being forced out of an education. In this speech Malala tries to pursued world leaders to stand up for the millions of children not receiving the education they deserve. She challenges them to take action and make education their top priority. Towards the end of her speech Malala says “Why is it that countries which we call strong are so powerful in creating wars but are so weak in bringing peace”. Malala chooses to use strong points like this throughout her speech to stir up emotions in the audience.

Although she had told her story numerous times before, this was the chance where she could use her words

I believe that Malala’s speech was one of, if not the best speech I have ever heard. Malala talked not only about her past, but of her future. Malala used such strong points throughout her speech. She constantly went back to her main point of bringing education to all children all around the world, while at the same time bringing up other issues such as children being married off to adults. Malala understood that people all around the world do not know the extent of what is happening to millions of girls just like her. She uses repetition to constantly make that point known. Malala uses the repetition of “I am” to explain how although she is one girl, her story is the story of millions of girls around the world. She repeats “I am” over four times to stress the main point in her speech. Malala ends her speech with a series of “Let this be” statements. She uses this statement as a way to not only review the main points of the speech, but also as a way to provide a sense of closure. Her speech only dramatized as it went on, and this conclusion brought people in the audience to tears. Malala understands that her audience did not undergo the same struggles as her, and she keeps
