The article
Malala's Mission by Alessandra Potenza wants her readers to know about Malala
Yousafzai a 17 year old girl who speaks out for girls rights for education and
basic rights and why she is so important to us. The article shows me that teens
should speak for themselfs and say what is on their mind. The article taught me
that Malala risked her life to do this, she got shot by the Taliban who
disagreed with what she is fighting for. Malala speaks up for girls who dont
have basic rights like to go to school or to work and wants everyone to be aware
of this problem so that it can be improved.
The author implies that Malala's home Pakistan has
effected her in many ways and has made her want to speak up for human and women
rights all over the world. The author conveys her message by writing the
interview they has with Malala. Some of the questions that were asked were “Pakistan face many challenges. Why do you think girls, education is an
important issue to focus on?” Malala replies by stating that “In Pakistan she
has seen many situations in which girls are denied their basic human rights. I
realized girls, education is something important and thats why terrorist are
afraid of it…” The author shows bias by stating that girls education is
important for them and shouldn't be denied by others. it makes me think why
would anyone want to take away their basic human right.
Malala is a
very passionate person when it comes to debating whether or not girls should
have the same equal rights and get an education. I think that everyone should
have the same equal rights even if it is just to get and education. Everyone
should have the option to say what they need to say. Malala thought that it was
necessary to do so and thats why she is speaking out to teenagers and to
everybody about it. In the interview she mentions that every teenager thinks that
they are not the ones who need to say something when they should take action in
speaking up against injustice and inequality. This illustrates she is doing
something about the problems. They even awarded her with a Nobel Peace Prize for
speaking up about girls rights.
Not only has
Malala encouraged many other teens to speak up for their rights but she even wrote
a book descirbing her life before she was shot by the Taliban. She hopes that
in her effort of trying to get equal rights that other teens like her who want to
have equal rights will help her voice be heard. After Reading this article, I
have come to understand that education is valuable and everyone ought to have a
right to it.
