I Am Malala Question Responses
Question 1 The role of Malala's father throughout her entire story played an essential part in the developing of Malala's character, beliefs and values as well as a motive for many of her actions throughout the course of the story.

This is extremely evidential, and I believe this is the point Malala may have been trying to get across with her
