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

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
