I Am Malala

Malala Yousafzai informs the readers of her story in the form of a novel called I am Malala. In this book she demonstrates how she is very heroine in her adventure to prove how girls mostly from her culture, but from all over the world should be able to obtain an education as freely as they want to. The reason for this book is to share her story with everyone, to show how nothing should stop someone from doing what they truly believe is right. Malala as a young child from now to her young adult age had the most difficult task, she had to confront terrorists, the Taliban. Consequently, she ends up getting extremely injured by being shot at on a bus on her way to school. however , she survives and Malala Yousafzai recounts her remarkable story
Malala starts by telling a story of Pakistan before the Taliban came and took over, she chooses this strategy because it creates a parallel between her younger self to her young adult life and how many things can change in the matter of months. Malala describes her childhood by saying “behind our house was a grassy lot scattered with mysterious ruins, statues of lions, broken columns of an old stupa… where in the summer, we played parpartuni, a game of hide and seek” (Yousafzai, 15) which shows just how normal her life wise and how all Pashtuns were living in a form bliss. Conversely later on in the book on a not so happy note she illustrates “I don’t remember the other man jumping onto the other man jumping onto the tailboard and leaning into the back, where we were all sitting...and I didn’t hear the crack, crack, crack of the three bullets” (Yousafzai,130) which proves that what happened to her was surreal. Malala uses imagery to help retell her story to prove to everyone that if she can do it so can others. In I am Malala, Malala creates a direct parallel between her life before and after the events of the Taliban invasion, and she does this so readers can get a real feel for her
