This article focuses on the topic of a young, teenage girl Malala Yousafzai who stood up for women’s rights in her home country. Her home country forbids women and girls from getting an education, as that was the “men’s job” over there. One day Malala was tired of this rule and got onto the schoolbus, and was shot in the head. She survived the shot, and now is known as a very inspirational brave girl all over the world. This article has a lot of inspiration. ““Trust your daughters, they are faithful. Honor your daughters, they are honorable. And educate your daughters, they are amazing.” (NPR Staff Paragraph 3) This line is advice from Malala to the parents of young daughters all over the world.
This shows that Malala gives many people good inspiration through her words. “I speak for education of every child, in every corner of the world,” Malala says. “There has been a discrimination in our society,” which she believes must be defeated. “We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls’ rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.” This line by Malala is saying that she has had enough of this discrimination between men and women, girls and boys, and she’s going to make sure that there is no such thing as men and women discrimination anywhere in the world.
The article “ Malala Yousafzai: A Normal Yet Powerful Girl” reminds me of another article called “Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.: Changing America” It reminds me of this because both articles involve powerful, inspirational leaders who are trying or who tried changing discrimination in the world. In “Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. : Changing America”, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. tries changing discrimination of racism of black people and white people. In “Malala Yousafzai: A Normal Yet Powerful Girl”, Malala Yousafzai is trying to change the discrimination between boys, girls; men and women. Malala and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. play the same role as the main leader trying to change strong discrimination such as race and gender.
