I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
5.0
It’s always “a moment of How”, after you finish a great book, to look up and see the world go about its business with perfect apathy. This has been happening within reading this real and self-explanatory book. Distinguishingly, the book delivers its core with vibrant language; I struggle for language to adequately reflect the feeling that came over me then. As I recently have sent to a friend of mine that reading this book is like a severe reminder of how much we all take for granted everyday life: Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the ability to get an education, regardless of gender.
People around the world know her by her first name. They know she campaigned for the right of girls to attend school. That she was shot in the head by the Taliban and eventually airlifted to hospital in Birmingham, UK - a city where she and her family currently live. That she was the youngest Nobel laureate. Her book gives us more information about her father telling us that he who planted the inner seed of fighting and calling for education and freedom inside Malala. There are more important details and Pashtun culture, the natural beauty of Swat. It talks about the hospitality of the Pashtun people exceeding any border.
By reading Malala's story, it reveals the true face of the Pakistani people who want peace and freedom; confirming that the Taliban is not the Pakistani or Muslim people. “History is full of people who have done evil things in the name of religion (including those who shot Malala) and non-religious people who have done great and altruistic things. But we should not forget the opposite.”
It is highly recommended.
“They can stop us going to school but they can’t stop us learning.”
“I am Malala. My world has changed but I have not.”
