Modern Day Prophet Amos

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.

Malala Yousafzai is a role model for people everywhere. Malala was born your average Pakistani Girl, and became one of the world’s greatest Women’s rights activists. Malala, at the early age of eleven, started standing up for her fellow female classmates rights regarding their education. She started collaborating with BBC, giving details regarding her life under the Taliban’s rule, and how they were robbing girls of their education. At the age of fifteen, she was shot by one of the Taliban members due to her rebel actions against the Taliban. She survived the harsh attack, and still lives today, standing up for educational rights everywhere.

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. In 2010, the Taliban shot Malala in the face but she and many other Jews still survived. Though she lived in rough and tough challenges, Malala show lots of courage trying to stand up to the Taliban and their powerful government.

Malala Yousafzai being a completely different person that any girl in her country demonstrates the gruesome ,and savage nature of the men and women in the country of Pakistan. She not only shows the unawareness driven by fright among the people there, but displays how horrid it truly was. Influences of a misinterpretation form of Islam yield the innocent under the hands of the miserable forces of the evil such as the Taliban. Subsequently, the country of Pakistan under Taliban rule has gone through continuous fear and discriminations that strip girls from their education. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani women who only wanted an education, was obligated to view her life at its worst and at the same time, view the desire and dreams of girls who brawl for there education that they have been denied.

Born on July 12, 1997, Malala Yousafzai took a stand for the rights of girls in her village first, by giving a speech during a school event, and then eventually, talking about and representing the rights of all females across the world. She courageously stood up against the Taliban and their strict rules of the boundaries of women in the village, and even after an assassination attempt, she continued giving speeches and speaking her mind despite the immense danger she was placing herself in. “The blog was anonymous, but Malala was also unafraid to speak out in public about the right to

Malala is a great activist for our world. For example, she has a big part of the inspiration for education. In her homeland, Taliban told girls they weren’t allowed to go to school or dance, play outside, sing etc. She believed girls had much of a right to go to school as boys do. Malala started to go to the boys school as one of her own rights. At this point, the Malala become a target to the Taliban. She was fourteen and the Taliban struck her on the bus with a shot in the head. She was hit in the head but missed a little bit by her skull. She came back strong at sixteen years and showed she will never give up for girls rights. “ I speak with my voice” she would say in an interview. Just because we have feet and hands, knees do not

For example, an activist named Iqbal believed in education for kids. He gave speeches all over the world to show his beliefs on education rights. Many people got inspired to help his belief that everyone should have education rights. Another activist who gave speeches is Malala Yousafzai, to tell people that everybody(especially girls), should have education no matter his or her circumstances of life, genes, or religion. Her speeches inspired many people to help kids get education. “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”, she

Ezekiel was a prophet and a priest Fifty years old (age when ministry of priests and Levites ended) Was called to be a prophet when he was thirty His calling shows he was a priestly prophet After call to be a prophet, he spoke to God freely Full access to God was a priest’s privilege Wasn’t able to speak for 7 years (593-587 BC) Actual prophetic work begins 7 days after he is called to be a prophet Gave much attention to spiritual purity The verb “sanctify” was also important to Ezekiel (occurs fifteen times)

The book, I Am Malala, gave a powerful message about activism, family, women’s rights, but most importantly, the power of education. Malala Yousafzai had a very strong belief in education and would not stop at anything to guarantee that every child was able to go to school. Malala grew up believing that education was the key to success, but not everyone else believed that. Malala lived in a society where women were not treated as equals, and soon appeared laws prohibiting women’s right to attend school. Malala was extremely determined to continue her education, she even snuck to school, hid her books and abandoned her school uniform so she would not be noticed. Malala becomes vocal about education and gives her opinion in interviews for many news stations. Many people in her country feared to express their opinions, however, Malala wanted to be the change. Malala expressed her belief that “If people were silent, nothing would change.” (Yousafzai 140). Although Malala knew that it was dangerous to speak against the Taliban, she suggests her opinions in interviews to draw international attention to her cause. Malala dreamed of getting an education so she could become a politician and help her country. But when she was 10, the Taliban took control of her town, making it a law that girls were banned from

Malala was only 10 and as she already understood the major issue of her home country, Pakistan, as regards to their position on women’s rights. She realized in Pakistan women did not have as many rights as men such as the right of education. From that moment, she knew that she would fight for peace and democracy for the Pakistan women in her future.

Throughout the span of the human race, many people and organization have stood up for the right of others. Some scientists raced against time to produce vaccines that saved millions if not billions of lives. On the other hand, many speakers traveled across the globe to promote individual’s freedom and rights. In wartime, more people regardless of their backgrounds worked tirelessly to save lives of many individuals who faced genocide. Undoubtedly, history has foretold that at any moment in time, people are working tremendously so that other people may have a better world to live. Regarding education, Malala Yousafzai, known as Malala, has put all her efforts in promoting education to every child living on earth. She was a target of an insurgent group, but now she is the savior of many children. Thanks to her works, many children now have an education which they have never once dreamed they would have. Her moral courage will be a legacy that she leaves for humans.

When the Southern Kingdom was split in half Amos was chosen by God to become a prophet, because the Lord could see the good in him. God sent Amos, just like he sent Jesus over to preach his word in the Northern Kingdom, because the people there were living amoral lives. But before Amos was chosen by God he wasn’t respectful to the poor, he thought they were worthless. The poor disliked Amos, mainly because they would constantly be outspoken by him, every time they would try to voice their opinion Amos was shut them out. Amos would criticize people when they made sacrifices but then he would neglect the moral law himself. After he was chosen to be a prophet Amos would consistently spread the good news despite being rejected and shunned. He had a great love for the poor and always cared for them.

The book of Amos strikes me as a very angry book in that it tells of a very angry God who is about to bring a severe form of justice on His people. Firstly, I immediately notice that the author lays a foundation of the typical Israel-is-bad-and-Judah-is-better kind of mindset when he says that the voice of the Lord “utters [from] Jerusalem.” To me, this can lead one to deduce that the author believes that God is on Judah’s side and not at all favoring Israel. This does not seem strange, given that many books before this one convey the same idea, except for a particular grievance against Judah. This transgression is described as being “led astray by the same lies” as Israel, one would assume. I cannot help but notice, however, that the list of iniquities of

Across the world people think of Malala Yousafzai as one of the most revolutionary women in the world for her stance against heresy and gender discrimination. She has showed through example that she is willing to give her life in the defense of her beliefs regarding women’s rights to education. Malala is an equal rights activist; she continually fights for women to have the same rights as all other people. Malala has endured a long and dangerous path to make people aware of the discrimination and dangers that women are facing in Pakistan and all over the world. Her famous journey and non-violent methods has had a profound effect and has resulted in the world taking a more active part in her fight for equal rights and women 's education.

Malala Yousafzai’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation. This speech is powerful, eye opening and deserves to be heard. She is addressing two audiences, one being the people that follow her same belief for education, some of those people would be at this convention and the other being the people that disagree with her purpose, like the Taliban. Yousafzai was in 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, which used to be a popular tourist destination. As of now the region has been taken into control of the Taliban. Her father is also an anti- Taliban activist and educator. She, her father and tons of others just want thing to be like they used to. Where they had a safe neighborhood and didn't have to worry about violence. She delivered a speech riddled with excellent use of rhetoric to convey her argument. Malala’s whole purpose for her fight for education of the youth is so that it will stop future violence, She displays this purpose in her speech by using outward focus, compassion and personal experience to her audiences.
