    Young Malala “didn’t say much, but ‘she could follow, and she never got bored’” (Baker); two years later, Ziauddin Yousafzai admitted four-year-old Malala into his school, where he instilled in her education’s power to set anyone free. When the Taliban took ahold of Pakistan in 2008, they implemented a series of edicts in a severe effort to eliminate girls’ education, consequently sparking Malala’s fight against them. At age eleven, she gave her first fiery speech for the national press titled, “How Dare the Taliban Take Away My Basic Right to Education?” A series of protests followed in the form of publicly speaking at events, interviews, documentaries for the New York Times, and an anonymous blog for BBC. From her seventh grade eyes, Malala chronicled the Taliban’s brutal takeover of her district, from the steep decline in girls’ attendance at her school to the dead bodies on the street. In the midst of the Taliban’s terror, her outcries sent a message to the girls of her community and to the rest of the world: do something because we are not free in the absence of

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many other ways to gain information and talk to people more effectively than Twitter, i.e. Facebook (164). Manjoo’s final ground is that Twitter lacks social intimacy. There is no real connection between Twitter users. If someone follows you, you do not have to follow them and in doing so, you do not see their tweets. This also makes it hard for beginners to get started. It takes a very long time to amass a substantial amount of follower (164). The warrant for his essay is that for something to be worth your time it must have staying power, social intimacy, and utility. He backs this warrant by constantly questioning how long Twitter will last and whether it is a fad (164). Manjoo’s claim and use of rhetorical elements made this argument quite effective and clear. His claim was precise and offered fair reasoning. He was able to back
