Summary Of Malala Chapter 4 The Village
Chapter 4- The village
Though Malala had been born in a city, she shared her father’s love of nature. She was passionate and in love with Swat Valley. This point she makes, adds more about her relationship with her father. So far my understanding is they are very close and she is following in his footsteps.
Growing up, she couldn’t help but notice that women were often beaten by their husbands, or even kidnapped. Women in the village hid their faces whenever they left their home and they couldn’t speak or meet other men who were not a relative. Malala wore fashionable clothes and did not hide her face. People asked her why and her father would stand up for her. She notes that while she’s proud to be a Pashtun but when it comes to the treatment

    Malala Yousafzai Quotes

    At first you have your seed, put it in pot of soil, and let grow and grow until it gets big and strong. For Malala Yousafzai it was learning the issue, studying the issue, and then having a strong understanding of the issue at hand, which was women’s rights. This helped Malala Yousafzai devote her life to her passion, which was helping girls in the Middle East gain an education. This quote is very important, because it shows how Malala did not surrender to the tragedy of getting shot in the head, she still wanted to devote her life to this dilemma. When Malala Yousafzai got shot in the head, it encouraged more people to support her cause. This showed Malala’s commitment, growth, and determination. In fact, she now does press conferences with UNICEF, (The United Nations Children's Fund) and other press conferences for other organizations. This shows growth, because Malala only used to do conferences in Swat Valley and all over Pakistan. This character growth trait is called gaining confidence. Lastly, Malala grows tremendously because she had to go through head and spine surgery from the bullet wound. This shows great bravery because it takes a big person to go through head surgery at such a young age (15 years old). In my opinion, Malala Yousafzai had stellar bravery, commitment, and courage from day one. Going to school in the morning was such a challenge because of local terrorism, many punishments, live beatings, and radio threats. This is how Malala’s character developed through the book. Tragedy made her…

    Malala Yousafzai Analysis

    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…

    Chapter four starts out with an anecdote explaining how Malala’s grandfather did not help out financially with her Woma celebration because she was a girl, not a boy. (Woma being a traditional celebration on the seventh day of a child's life.) Throughout the chapter she starts to notice and disagree with the divide between how women and men are treated, especially in rural areas, such as her family's village. When Malala goes to the village, all of the women cook food for the men and take care of children, that's all anyone believes they are good for. “My mother and I stayed in the women's quarters downstairs.…

    However, it slowly turned miserable as the Taliban slowly invaded SWAT. More people lived under fear, especially the women. However, Malala wasn’t scared; she spoke out against them. She volunteered after overhearing a conversation between her father and a BBC Urdu reporter. “... his friend [her father] Abdul Hai Kakar, a BBC radio correspondent based in Peshawar … was looking for a female teacher or school girl to write a diary about life under the Taliban … When I overheard my father talking about this, I said, ‘Why not me?’…

    As a young girl, Malala grew up in the Swat Valley of Pakistan (nationalgeographic.com). Then, the Taliban came and took over, and said that girls could not go to school. Malala was very upset about this, saying, “All I want is education, and I am afraid of no one”(malala.org). One day, while coming home on a bus, the Taliban shot her and her friend. She was rushed to the UK, and everybody was worried about her. (nationalgeographic.com) Miraculously, she survived, and even though she had a close brush with death, she still continues to fight for her cause: a girl’s right to an education. She has helped many around the world, and it would not have never happened if she had not spoken up for what was right, even if it meant taking a…

    Today is June 30, the first formal class in the Fort Leavenworth. I always appreciate the way that how U.S army educates and trains their officers and NCOs. I think the best evidence is the preparation. As the old saying, “To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools. And, the best tools for us is complete preparation. CGSC gave us a lot of time to prepare what we need and take care of our family, so that we can familiar with the environment in a short time and focus on our training.…

    In this poem Simon Armitage shows he is not yet ready to leave his mother by saying ''mother. any distance grater than a single span requires a second pair of hands'' this second pair of hands he requires are his mothers therefore telling us he still needs his mother. shows his anxieties about leaving home by the way he talks about the way he talks about the tape measure, ''You at the zero-end, me with the spool'' he talks about the tape measure as if it were the umbilical cord which at birth attached him to his mother, this relates to his anxieties about leaving home because the first anxieties what he and his mother faced were at birth when they first became their own person and were separated, this is related to his anxieties now since he is being separated by his mother by a further distance than the first time which is why he talks about the measuring tape and them measuring ''acres of walls'' as an acre is a huge distance which gives an impression of vast empty spaces. Armitage refers a lot to distances, this is not only because of the fact they are physically measuring stuff but he knows that the distance between their physical closeness has gotten greater and it is as if he is measuring the distance between him and his mother. Armitage uses a metaphor to explain the relationship between him and his mother ''unreeling years between us. anchor. kite.'' he is saying his mother is the anchor and he is the kite, and his mother was what was keeping him to the ground and he is scared if this anchor disappears he will fly away, in other words his mother was keeping him right and he is scared he is going to do wrong since he is now independent. When Armitage uses the term ''space-walk'' this gives us an impression on how empty the house is as space is a huge and uninhabited place, when he says ''to fly or fall'' this demonstrates his anxieties that he may not be able to survive on his own without care and help from his mother as he has always…

    Advertisements rule our day to day lives without us even knowing it. The average human sees around 250 advertisements every single day. More likely than not, we do not even notice over half of them. Our brains have gotten so used to seeing these advertisements everywhere that we begin to tune them out. Advertisements are just like super bugs, the more we try to get rid of them the stronger they get. For that sole reason advertisements must get stronger in message and appeal both as time goes on and our brains start to get better at blocking out those advertisements that rule our day to day lives. The ad that I have chosen catches the consumer’s eye by asking an intriguing question: “How does the man who drives to the snowplow drive to the snowplow?”. The advertisement was published in Alberta Magazine, most likely 30 years ago. This advertisement mainly focuses on logos by describing to us how logical it is to buy a Volkswagen, but it also touches on ethos and pathos because Volkswagen is a very credible company, and by asking us who drives to the snowplow respectively.…
