Is Malala Yousafzai's writing powerful?- The power of writing series- Writing Wednesday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 In today's power of writing series, I will be reviewing Malala Yousafzai's writing.  Malala is well known for advocating female education rights especially in north west Pakistan where the Taliban (a terrorist group), at times, banned girls from attending school. This advocacy has now turned into an international movement inspiring other girls to fight for their education rights.

 Malala was born in Mingora, Pakistan where her parents ran a chain of schools in the region. At the age of the 11-12, she wrote a blog under a pseudonym, BBC Urdu recording her life in detail of the Taliban occupation in Swat.  A journalist named Adam B. Ellick made a New York Times documentary of her life. After giving many interviews on print and on TV, she was nominated the International Children's Nobel Peace Prize by activist Desmund Tutu.

 However Malala's fame rose when she wrote a book named "I am Malala" sharing to the world her experiences. The most well-known was, in relation to her activism, when she and a group of school girls were shot by a Taliban gunman on a bus after they had an exam. The shot was in the head but she managed to survive.

 I for one have read the book in awe of her bravery as I know many others have too. People didn't read her book because she was shot in the head, they read it because she was one of the rare people who stood up, against all the odds, for what she believed in. People could relate to that because she wasn't a soldier, or a gallant knight prepared to risk their life, she was a normal human being. Because of what she preached in her book, many think twice about saying that they hate school because Malala has given people a representation of the worst. That makes her writing powerful.

 Have you read Malala's book? If yes, what did you think of it? If not, would you like to read it? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them.

 See you next time,

 Bye

XOX, Juliette

Testing Lush's Brightside bubble bar- Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As I'm sure many of you know because I've been talking about it a lot, I went to Oxford Street in London with my sister and whilst we were there, one of the very first places we went to was Lush. I think that this place is talked about to much not to go so we went. As I've mentioned in my Oxford Street blog post, it was so much better than the Lush I normally go to at home in Cambridge. There were tonnes of demonstrators showing all the amazing soaps and there were so many different parts and levels to the overall store, it was awesome! Anyway, if you want to hear the story in detail, I will leave the post below so you can go and read that if you want to but today I'm going to be testing one of my bubble bars and in my opinion, one of my favourite products that I got, today.  This bubble bar is called the Brightside bubble bar and it smells of orange and it has an orange and yellow swirl in the middle of it. The...

How to use your face more in dance- Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Dance is an excellent art form for expressing yourself and your emotions. These expressions not only occur in the body, but also in the face. Over the 7 years that I've been dancing, I've seen many different types of dancers. Those who dance well in the body and use their face to exaggerate the movements. Those who perhaps forget the steps that they're doing in the dance but are not afraid to use their face. Then lastly, like me for a long time, those who dance well in the body but forget to use their face. The last one is certainly not uncommon. Especially as teenagers, we may find it awkward to do a sassy or funny face because we think that others may find it weird. However, by using our faces not only does it express every emotion in every movement, but it also makes you look confident and stand out to the crowd. Although I am better at this now, there have been times where I've found it difficult.  As some ...

I watched the video and it was actually very interesting. One of the dancers said that at her old ballet studio because she was African American, that she was often over looked. She said that s...

How difficult is it to live without plastic? - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I read this great article from my local village newsletter about this woman who tried to live an entire month without plastic. I don't read the newsletter often because I don't usually find interesting articles in it. I would modestly consider it as something tailored more towards old people! But my mum was talking about this particular article and I decided it was worth a read.  We go on and on about how we should use less plastic without thinking about the many useful things that are actually wrapped in plastic. In the article, the author Catherine Burch, states that she could only buy wine,beer,posh chocolate in cardboard packets, eggs, and a couple of over-ripe tangerines. For her family of 5 people at dinner, there was nothing to cook. Coming to think of it, there are so many things you cannot buy because it's all wrapped in plastic. Sliced or whole loaves of bread, milk cartons with the plastic cap, fruit and ...
