Malala utilizes pathos to evoke emotions towards the audience on reasons why education should be a right. Yousafzai reveals, “Because when a teacher appreciates you, you think, I am something! In a society where people believe girls are weak and not capable of anything except cooking and cleaning, you think, I have a talent” (Yousafzai,61). Malala acknowledges the idea that students feel extremely proud of themselves when they accomplish a task they were never exposed to. This indicates to the audience that allowing women to go to school will not harm them, but make them feel like they belong in a place where they’re prohibited to go to. Yousafzai declares, “Some

One instance Malala invokes pathos lies within Chapter 2, where Malala explains, ”The women of the village also had to hide their faces… they could not meet or speak to men... none of them could even read” (Yousafzai 23). The quote serves as a call to action, as women suffer from societal neglect, and by portraying shunned women and condescending men, she spotlights the redundant tribulations that women face so the readers are aware of what goes on in the opposite side of the hemisphere. If the world itself is more conscientious about the evils manifesting in the middle-east, people are more likely to act accordingly to fight against the

Overall, Malala gets the reader to sympathize over the fact that some girls had to leave their education behind because of

"I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children" (Malala, 13). Cultural tradition is evidently a culminating aspect in the formation of societies and a direct consequence on the lifestyle of these families. Malala Yousafzai was born in Pakistan, a society which privileged man, even though since young she was determined to stand against the tradition and live for herself and for her family.

In the memoir, Malala illustrates that her father always treated women fair. There was no difference between men and women other than the roles they adopted in their culture.

Women should have the same right to education as of men. Through Malala’s journey, not only was she shot but she also had to leave her family and friends behind. In spite of this, Malala still believes that fighting for

Yousafzai talks about how in many parts of the world terrorism and war have conflicted with children’s schooling. Yousafzai also talks about children becoming victims of child labor and schools being destroyed in Nigeria.

Not only has Yousafzai lived through these things but there is proven historical evidence to support her claims.

In many countries living in extremely poor conditions, not only is basic health an issue but also the lack of education. Although it is a necessity, “more than 72 million children of primary education age are not in school and 759 million adults are illiterate” (Rights to Education 1). The deprivation of education should be taken serious if a change is wanted. People need to become aware of how important education is and the benefit that it has. Douglas and Malala struggled to gain an education in order to resist control by others, which affected their lives in multiple ways; however, they were able to reveal the value of education to all.

The push for women’s rights will never truly be satisfied because of the change not being able to reach the entire world at the same moment in time. Attempting to hold three pillars with two hands, one can only do so much by themselves. Malala Yousafzai, a young girl that has been affected by the patriarchal society in the Middle-East region, has been denied her right to education and even threatened by the Taliban to stand down. In the documentary, He Named Me Malala, the movie begins with an animated intro as Malala recites the quote “It is better to live like a lion one day, than to live like a slave for hundred years”. She believes in making a difference and would rather die and speak up, than to live and remain silent.

Malala Yousafzai, being a completely different person that any girl in her country demonstrates the gruesome and savage nature of the men and women in the country of Pakistan. She not only shows the unawareness driven by fright among the people there, but displays how horrid it truly was. Influences of a misinterpretation form of Islam yield the innocent under the hands of the miserable forces of the evil such as the Taliban. Subsequently, the country of Pakistan under Taliban rule has gone through continuous fear and discriminations that strip girls from their education. Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani woman who only wanted an education, was obligated to view her life at its worst and at the same time, view the desire and dreams of girls who fight for their education that they have been denied.

Eventually, the Taliban started to blow up girls’ schools so that they would be unable to go back to school after winter break. The laws that were inflicted by the Taliban, impacted, mainly, women.
