Recommended: Define the role of a narrator

Both main and secondary authors of the novels that I read over the summer developed their themes throughout their novel one way was by narrating an actual event that happed during our history in first person point of view. Both the novels The Girl In The Green Sweater by: Krystyna Chigar with Daniel Paisner, and I Am Malala by: Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb had two authors in which the main authors, Krystyna Chigar and Malala Yousafzai experienced the plot of their novels in first person, and with the help of their secondary authors, Daniel Paisner and Christina Lamb, they were able to tell their side of the event using their own thoughts, opinions, experiences, etc.. In the novel The Girl In The Green Sweater by: Krystyna Chigar
I was glad to have him near. I said, ‘Well, what do you think?’ He answered, ‘ It is not so bad, Krysha.’ This was Melek, trying to lift my spirits. This was me, trying to convince myself that everything was going to be okay.” (Page 130, The Girl In The Green Sweater ) This quote explains Krystyna’s/ Krysha’s personal thoughts and conversations with her friend Melek which at that time only she could know about. As well as the novel The Girl In The Green Sweater, in the novel I Am Malala by: Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb it also stated personal thoughts of the main character, Malala, such as, “When we learned she was dead, my heart said to me, Why don 't you go there and fight for women 's rights? We were looking forward to democracy and now people asked, 'If Benazir can die, nobody is safe.' It felt as if my country was running out of hope.” (Page 133, I Am Malala) This quote explains what Malala thought when her idol for women’s rights, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated and how she personally took it to heart as a motivation to fight for women’s rights.

  • Comparing Malala Yousafzai's Courage to that of Characters in Novels by Harper Lee and Rebecca Skloot

    896 Words  | 2 Pages

    Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani girl, was shot and wounded by the Taliban. At eleven years old, Malala, and all other Pakistani women were told they could no longer receive any sort of education. Malala would not remain quiet, she wanted to be taught, and she made sure everyone knew the cruelty of the situation. On October 8, as Malala and many other children were riding a bus home, the bus was stopped by a masked Taliban gunman who shot Malala in the head and neck. Malala survived the shot and even wrote a book later on. This situation is much like what some of the characters in Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, and Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, go through. Lee and Skloot demonstrate that restriction from society and others leads to injustice.

    1525 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the book “look me in the eyes” by John Elder Robison, he talks about his life with Asperger’s and the challenged he faced as a kid. The first thing I noticed when reading the book that John Elder had a hard time looking people in the eye. Which is very common with kids with Asperger’s. During the time her was a student teachers didn’t know what this was so they handled the situation differently by yelling at him trying to force him to look them in the eye. If I was the teacher I would go about this situation differently I would try to figure out why he can’t look me in the eyes. By yelling at the student the teacher may be causing them to have anxiety which can cause any student to want to look away. Students sometimes think if a situation

    ...ry about fighting for human rights but talks about a culture very different than our own. One of the aspects I like about the book is how Malala explains everything in an uncomplicated way which is much easier to understand than the scholars who write about Pakistan. They try to stay “neutral” which destroys the empathy for the international community and sound too smart for the majority to understand. Furthermore, I am Malala is a lovely book that convincingly tells the story of “the girl who stood up for education and was shot by the Taliban”. Coherent, compelling, and important; the book reached the hearts of millions of reader to depict an accurate understanding of the unstable situations around the world.

  • I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

    Throughout the history of storytelling, there have always been storybook characters that inspire and motivate young readers to become more engaged and knowledgeable about the struggles that some people go through. Reading has always been a pastime of mine; while reading I collect new friends in wonderful places that otherwise I could only dream of. Each of these characters that I have befriended and connected with over the years, has shaped my personality in some way or another, and choosing just one seems an impossible task. Although women’s rights have skyrocketed in the past century, overall the world is still predominately male-orientated, but the world of books has no bounds for inspirational women. Countless authors have written books with strong female leads, most of them fiction, but nonetheless inspirational. When choosing the most influential to me, I could start by writing about the character that first allowed me to immerse myself in the world of the written language, Nancy Drew. Or I could write about the character that allowed me to feel comfortable with being unique and intelligent, Hermione Granger. But I won’t go into those clichés, the book character that has inspired me more than the heroines starring in the hundreds of books that I’ve read is real life Super Girl, Malala Yousafzai.

    At the beginning of the year, a question which was brought up in class: “What is freedom and how would you define it?” I remember that I wrote down something along the lines of freedom is the ability to make choices for yourself. For the past few weeks, listening to, reading, and discussing “For Colored Girls” made me realize that what I knew as freedom as a well off male was completely different than the protagonists’ perception of freedom. In the text “For Colored Girls”, Ntozake Shange tackles the struggles of African American women through a choreopoem that follows the life stories of seven African American women dressed in different colors.

  • I Am Malala

    ... Malala, as well as her parents are very brave for breaking some traditional Pakistan and Muslim traditions. It amazes me how Malala survived an attempted Taliban assassination. The Taliban shot her in the face, just missing her brain. The bullet came out through her shoulder, and she shockingly survived it. She was believed to not survive the attack. Malala’s survival amazes me. The reason why the two Taliban men attempted to kill Malala was all because she was fighting for education, and women's rights in the Swat Valley region. The book gave me a better understanding of Pakistan, but what mainly intrigues me about stories from Pakistan are the lives of remarkable young women. These young women could be dealing with arrange marriages, women trafficking, or like Malala, fighting for women's rights and education. I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai is a worthwhile read.
