    While on her journey to receive education rights for all people, she and her dad were threatened every day. She wasn’t afraid, and she knew that her family would do their best to keep her as safe as possible. She was probably scared at first, but she went on to conquer her fears and overcame her fear of the threats thrown at her. “What terrifies religious extremists like the Taliban are not American tanks or bombs or bullets, it’s a girl with a book” (p. 14). This quote shows her insuppressible amount of courage, more than most people have. She continued to be courageous and have hope for the future, knowing that whatever is bound to happen, will happen. Even after being shot, Malala showed great amounts of courage. She wasn’t afraid, and she even said, “They thought that the bullets would silence us” (p. 13). Malala kept her head held high, and showed no fear, for if she did, she may have gotten herself killed. “I wasn’t scared, but I had started making sure the gate was locked at night and asking God what happens when you die” (p. 14). She said it herself, she wasn’t scared; hence, the amount of courage it took to say that was…

    Jack London Foil

    Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” is a story about knowing your surroundings, and listening to your instincts, just as the dog in this story did. London’s human character, who is nameless in the story, is more like a foil; with the main character being the harsh landscape of the Yukon, where the story takes place amid -75 below temperatures. The man shows how arrogant and inexperienced he is when he travels to the Yukon Territory without proper clothing, the use of a sled, or companions. He has no camping gear, insufficient food supplies, and his surroundings appear insignificant to him. These vital mistakes not only cost the man anger, but eventually a slow, agonizing death due to stubbornness, and a lack of knowledge in the harsh realities…

    Being a young, teenage girl in Swat Valley, Pakistan, Malala enjoyed going to school, but the safety and availability of schooling was facing a dearth once the Taliban merged in and began terrorizing schools. One day on the way to school and being held hostage by the Taliban, Malala recollects in her interview that she stood and confidently stated, “Then I would tell him [Talib] how important education is and I even want education for his children as well and I will tell him that’s what I wanted to tell you, now do what you want” (Stewart n.p.). Malala’s love and passion from school extended so far as going into confrontation with the Taliban and risking her life just to ensure and declare her rights and the rights of her fellow, female classmates to education and schooling. Malala’s efforts in expressing feminism and ensuring equal rights for girls in Swat Valley and all over the planet expanded to a point of global attention and international charities and foundations. When asked by John Stewart why she did not wait for political or humanitarian support to cease this conflict, Malala boldly rationalizes, “At that time I said why should I wait for someone else? Why should I be looking to the government, to…

    Since she was a young girl, Malala has always expressed herself and made sure her voice was heard for all young girls to be educated in her country. The Taliban came into her village, took it over and decided that they didn’t want girls going to school and getting their education anymore. So, Malala decided to speak up for girl’s education making it aware of what the Taliban was doing. After she started speaking to local magazines and journals, Malala began to get worldwide attention and so did the Taliban. However, the negative attention the Taliban was getting made Malala number one on their target list. When she was fifteen years old, she was on her school bus with other young school girls when two men affiliated with the Taliban jumped aboard the bus looking for Malala. After they realized the identity of Malala, one man raised a Colt 45 to her head and fired three shots. One of the three shots went through her left eye socket and came out under her left shoulder. She could have easily lost her left eye or could’ve had brain damage, but she didn’t. From this traumatic and traumatizing shooting, Malala had to get a portion of her skull removed to treat her swelling brain. She required multiple surgeries to repair a facial nerve which caused the left side of her face to be paralyzed. In her newly released book, I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for…

    The bus driver was forced to stop the bus because one the Taliban members forced the gun on to him and the rest of the members went on to the bus demanding the girls on the bus which one of them is Malala. One of Malala’s friends stood up and pointed to Malala. Before one of the men pointed a gun to Malala she was able to crouch down to protect her head. The man shot her and the bullet goes through her head, but misses her brain and the bullet ends up shattering her jaw and collarbone. She was soon shipped to Queen Elizabeth's Hospital in Birmingham, UK. A week later she woke up with a tube in her neck to help her breath. The next day, the nurse handed her a pencil and paper so she could write her father number. Unfortunately Malala couldn’t write as well as she used to. Then the her doctor, Dr. Javid brought her an alphabet chart so she could point at the letters to spell out what she wants to say. Whenever the nurses asked her questions Malala would blink once for no and blink twice for yes because she couldn’t speak at the time. Her injury caused her left side of her face to be paralyzed. Although, that doesn’t stop the fact that she survived a gunshot wound and continue to travel around the world giving speeches in other states letting them know how important it is for people to have an…

    At the age of fourteen, she chose to speak up “for the rights of children” (“Laura Bush: Malala Yousafzai’s courage” par. 5) when she was met with an intrusion by the Taliban and when they took away educational rights from women, she chose to stand up for herself along with all the other schoolgirls in her town. Although the Taliban threatened her, she still stood by her beliefs despite the consequences. When Bush writes, “Today, for Malala and the many girls like her, we need not and cannot wait. We must improve their world,” (“Laura Bush: Malala Yousafzai’s courage” par. 8) she shows the cruel reality that even today there are still many catastrophes in the world and that it must be put to a stop. Malala chose to not give up and instead defied the Taliban’s orders and by doing so, she risked her life for education and soon turned into an eminent icon of being valiant for young girls…
