In 2018, I took an English 100 class. Throughout the assignments we had in that class, I enjoyed reading one of the Malala’s pieces, which made me interested to read the book. Malala is a young teen from the Swat Valley in Pakistan. The book does not contain a lot of content on what goes on in that area of the world, and it mostly focuses on Malala and her story. She has a really meaningful quotes. Below one of her wonderful and meaningful quotes.
This quote symbolizes the root of empowerment comes from voicing out the issues. Empowerment occurs when women together fight towards an issue rather than fight against each other. Through the span of time, women are able to build equality in various sectors like entertainment, advocacy, literature, etc. Malala in this quote illustrates that when one raises his/her voice, it is not to attain status rather to be heard. To make people and the government realize the situation and also to be the voice of those who are silenced. Malala is a great role model and author. She really provides a strong figure for any girl growing up in this hectic world. She knew the importance of education at a very young age and was able to fight for her rights against the Taliban fiercely. From this quote, I learned that anyone can relate to Malala no matter what their gender because she described herself as being an ordinary girl that wanted to see change in the world. She shows that anyone can adjust their view on the world if they just use their voice to speak out because we are all humans and we deserve to live in a world filled with peace and equality.
