After reading the book ‘’I Am Malala’’ I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen-year-old girl who got shot because she fought for women’s rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential.
One of the reasons why Malala is a hero because she shows courage and bravery through her actions. First of all, Malala kept going to her school even though death threats kept coming to her and to her family. This shows that Malala is brave because she did not care what the Taliban did she cared more about her education even though the Taliban kept threatening her. Secondly, when the Taliban began to attack the girl’s school, she gave a speech and the title of her

In addition, Malala changed her name to Gul Makai while she was writing blog posts for the BBC. This shows that she is persistent because she did whatever it took to make the world aware what was happening around her. Also, Malala has started to post and blogging for the BBC news about being treated like a slave under the Taliban’s threat to oppose her education. This means, that although this can get her hurt or killed she still continued to fight for women’s rights and for her education. Lastly, after all the threats her family had received, she was frightened because the Taliban would go after her father and did not think they would actually harm a child. She then was shot in the head when she was on the school bus on the way home and survived. This explains that this was worth it because many people had heard her speech and did not give up at all for her

In the article, Malala the Powerful by Kristen Lewis, she described how Malala and other people ruled by the Taliban around 2007, had to follow many harsh rules ordered from the Taliban. Many people perished because of not following the religious rules. Malala stood up to the Taliban while they ruled. She did not listen to the Taliban when they said that school was banned. She courageously stood up to the Taliban but yet still got shot. She crazily survived the shooting and is still alive and going to college today. Though the Taliban created huge challenges for Malala, she survived because she stood up to the Taliban with her great courage, and is getting a better education today.
First of all, Determination is necessary to overcome adversity because it shows that no one is ever going to back down from what they believe in. Malala didn’t give up and earned what was rightfully hers-the ability to have an education. The article, “Malala” states, “The Taliban's attempt to keep Malala from getting an education has now backfired. Not only is Malala alive and bravely continuing to campaign for her beliefs, but Nov. 10 was named Malala Day to urge people to support the almost 32 million girls worldwide who are denied schooling.” Malala showed her determination by getting back
The article, “Malala the Powerful” by Kristin Lewis, describes the roughness of Malala, a Jewish girl, who like many girl Jews, crumbled in the hands of Taliban. Malala was alive when the Taliban took over Pakistan. She and many other girl jews were kicked out of school and forced to follow all these stitched rules. In 2009, Malala took action and started a blog. She talked on T.V shows about how hard life was like and was standing up to the Taliban.

Malala Yousafzai lived and still lives during the Taliban war. She and her family managed to fight against the Taliban, by going to school when she wasn't supposed to and becoming a blogger that was against the Taliban. On October 9th of 2012, the taliban went after Malala and attempted to assassinate her, for Malala, she held onto life, and she came through and survived. Though she was shot Malala, lived through unspeakable and unimaginable challenges, Malala, her family and their friends showed a tremendous amount of courage trying to take down the Taliban in blogging, protesting and just going to school.
People at first viewed her as a young girl that was just sticking up for what she wanted, whereas later she was viewed as a strong independent woman. After speaking out to the world multiple times, the chances of the Taliban attacking her grew enormously. They hated the fact that she was rebelling against them instead of following their rules. She continued on, even after being harassed by the Taliban to back down. Malala was secured until one day when she was riding the bus to school. The Taliban had raided the bus and shot her. “...Malala was in bad shape. The bullet had destroyed her left ear…but miraculously she clung to her life,” the article stated. Although, Malala never surrendered to the Taliban, instead, she had persistence and kept going, even though she was hurt. After the unfortunate incident, Malala gained, even more, supporters. People realized that she was so “...dedicated to teaching students and helping students and empowering students,” since she had the passion and ability to inspire as it said in “What is a Role Model? Five Qualities that Matter to Teens” by Marilyn Price-Mitchell. She was able to be so successful that she won the Nobel Peace Prize in the year of 2014, at the age of 17, being the youngest ever to be awarded the
Malala is considered a hero in our society because she is very persistent in her beliefs. Malala believes that everyone should be able to have equal rights to education because, education is power to grow and succeed in life (Kailash Satyarthi). This shows that in today’s society people value someone who is willing to fight for equality for all races, religions, sexes, and ethnicities. In addition, Malala does show weakness throughout her journey to promote education equality. Malala begins to confront the Taliban, a major terrorist group that controlled Swat Valley. This is a mistake by her because she does not realize the consequences of her rebellious actions for education equality to a well-established terror group that could kill her and her family. This shows that in today’s society, people are not simply portraying a hero as a person who is strong and skillful. Instead the modern society looks for someone who is willing to make a difference that is beneficial to the
Malala is sedulous she was told to stop going to school because the taliban believe that girls should not go to school. She did not believe what they believed in she believes that every woman has a right to go to school and get an education. She shared a passion of learning with her father that is why she fought for what she wanted.

In the process of standing up for what she believes in the Taliban targets her, tracks her down, and shoots her in the head. I Am Malala, written by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb is an autobiography about Malala’s life from when she was a small girl to her teenage years. Malala, the protagonist of this story may be described as determined, brave, and intelligent.
Heroes and heroines are people that stand up for the greater good and usually have experiences that gave them personal traits. These traits make them act in a certain way that defines them as a hero. In Malala Yousaifzai’s book I am Malala, Malala is a hero by fighting ceaselessly for equal education. In the beginning of the story, Malala was a bad sport and she stole from people. However, her experiences changed her. When she started questioning herself and saw homeless children who couldn’t afford to attend school and unfairness to women and girls, she altered her ways and become a heroine around the world. In a time of turmoil, people stand up and make a change for the better. Those individuals are true heroes.
In the biography by Malala Yousafzai titled,”I am Malala,” Malala tells an incredible story about serious events she has encountered as a child living in Afghanistan, and a terrible accident that she endured while fighting for education rights in Pakistan. Malala is a 16 year old girl who once lived in Mingora, Pakistan, located in the country's Swat Valley, not afraid to spread her opinions about freedom of education, however, this behavior got Malala in much trouble by the country's Taliban. Malala was on her way home on a bus when a bearded man stepped onto the road. Her best friend, Moniba, believed he was an interviewer, however, this turned out to be false when the man stepped into the vehicle and demanded to know where Malala was. Shortly
Malala was a special girl. She lived in Mingora, Pakistan, where it eventually was controlled by Taliban. She attended a school that her father founded which was taken away by the laws against education for girls that the Taliban was creating to destroy. In the year of 2009, she became a blogger for BBC to talk about the horror of the control that the Taliban were achieving. But on the same year, she was threatened was eventually shot in the head by a Taliban. It was an ordinary day and “Malala was sitting in her school bus when a man climbed on board and demanded to know “Which one of you is Malala?” When she answered, “I am Malala”, the man opened fire” (Kennedy- Macfoy). However she survived the bullet and actually gave one of the biggest messages ever, education for all girls. No one knew should would live and will make a change on the gender roles towards education, especially the Tailban who thought they have gotten away of the assassination. She gave a lot of speeches towards this powerful disapproval of women education and to create a stand that women deserve the right to education themselves. As her ideas and message became to spread, “she became one of the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize” (Kettler). She also got her own day called Malala day on July 12, 2015 where she continued to take action on women education and with Malala funds she was able to open a school in Lebanon. Malala became a symbol over the education for girls and the disagreement towards gender
What is a hero to you? You might think of superman or batman. Maybe you think of a police officer or a firefighter. What you may not think about is a ordinary girl from Pakistan who just wanted a change. The Taliban, a terrorist group in Pakistan, is working to ban education for girls. Malala Yousafzai demanded for a change and in return was shot in the head. Luckily, she survived. What I find sad about this is that she was shot because she believes in something different. This was heard about all over the world, and this news didn’t fade away. People started thinking of her as a hero. That got me thinking. What does it take to be a hero?
In the autobiography of I am Malala, s he showed bravery by standing up to women’s rights - in the country of Pakistan- even though she knew that there were Taliban soldiers trying to kidnap her and/or killer her. In the book, while she was riding a bus to go to school, she got shot but she still survived. THe braver thing is that even though she got shot, she stood up for women’s rights even more. According to the book and some videos, Malala
Malala’s best trait as a person is her perseverance. In the article it says,”when she was 14, Yousafzai and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her” as well as when, “a man boarded her school bus with a gun … fired at her hitting her in the left side of her head.” This just shows how she has great perseverance. Most people I know would probably stop whatever it is they’re doing if they had a death threat sent to them from a terrorist group but not only did Malala get shot she kept speaking out against the Taliban even after the
