I AM SAM My first reaction? Wow! Another Hollywood attempt at portraying people with developmental disabilities. Interesting movie. Sean Penn pleasantly surprised me in his portrayal of Sam Dawson‚ a young man with special needs who fights to regain custody of his seven-year-old daughter. Sure‚ some of the disability stereotypes are present in this movie: goofy clothes‚ bizarre laugh...‚ but there is also depth to the character.

Tawe Tawe Malala Yousafzai‚ Our Books and Our Pens The book I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai is a powerful autobiography about the 18 year old educational activist. In her speech‚ Malala says‚ “Let us pick up our books and our pens‚”- “They are our most powerful weapons. One child‚ one teacher‚ one book‚ and one pen can change the world” (Page 310). My take away was that‚ we should educate the world through books and pens‚ because education can send a more powerful message than any of the weapons

I Am Malala Book Report Would you take a bullet for freedom‚ especially if that freedom was the right to be educated? Many young Americans take education for granted. High school drop out rates have soared over the years. But what if education was not granted to the majority of citizens in America? Would that change our viewpoint on education? Would that cease the complaints towards the most powerful weapon we can use today? Well over twenty notable countries do not grant girls and women the right
