Question 1: How does Malala's passion for women's rights shape her life? Do you a particular cause you care about? Her passion for education shapes her life because she stands up for what is right and her family encourages her more so that she will going on and maybe some day her dream will come true .Yes I care about animal abuse very seriously, example: if you leave a dog outside for a month with no food it would possibly die. I do not think you should get a animal if you are not going to take care of it, One day we will end Animal Abuse!!!!
Question 2: Discuss how you felt after reading about Malala's experience. Where did Malala find her inspiration and courage? I felt good and scared because like other famous people get assonated and killed because someone didn't like what they were doing. I also felt good because this is one of the only girls that stood up for women's /girls rights. Malala found her courage from her dad because he went to meetings to discuss why everybody should go to school. Also from her family because they believe in her and they think that she could inspire more people to go to school all around the world.
Question 3: think of someone in your life who has been a mentor. How did they inspire you? My Coach is my mentor, she inspired me to keep going when I want to stop.Example: when I was at gymnastics I wanted to stop but she told me it's ok keep going, don't give up.
Question 4: What influence does Malala's mom have on her? How is Malala's relationship with her mom different with her relationship with her dad ? Her Mom influences Malala kind of like her dad because she believes in Malala but she doesn't want her to get hurt while she is doing what she is doing. Her relationship between her dad and her mom is that her dad is a fighter for all people's rights and fights against the Taliban and Malala is encouraged by that. Malala's mom believes in her just like her dad does and she wants Malala to keep going and don't give up on your dreams you can do it! I think that her relationship with her dad is better than her relationship with her mom!!
Question:5 Have you dealt with a devastating life changing experience? How did you react in the aftermath of that incidence? I have dealt with a traumatic life changing situation when my cat had died when we were at the beach and we couldn't say goodbye to him. I reacted really sad and especially my dad because he never cries and he cried after this.It was really sad for me.
Question 6: How does Malala experience and respond to these changes? How is Malala's character influenced and shaped by her surroundings? She responds to these changes/ Experience these changes worried because she notices how, not all of her friends are returning to school. And because of the bombings she is worried that their school is going to get bombed next. Her character is more influenced because of all the things that the Taliban are doing. She feels like the Taliban are actually pushing her harder to do what she wants to do. Her character is shaped by the Taliban because now that they shot her she doesn't want to stop what she is doing.
Question 7: Do you think that Malala will return to Pakistan/Swat? I think that she won't return to Swat/Pakistan because the Taliban could still be hunting her/looking for Malala. I also do think that she will return to Swat/Pakistan so that she could get more people educated that aren't educated.
Question 8: How do her peers react? What gives them strength? Her peers react proud/scared because her Dad is proud of her and kind of worried like the other people in her family, because her Dad has been getting threat letters about her and him. Courage and believe gives them strength because they do believe in her and courage that she will survive through this traumatic thing that happened to Malala.
Question 9: Have you been uprooted in your life?What happened and how did you adapt?How did the experience shape your worldview? Yes I have been uprooted, Example: From Pinehurst to North Carolina. After a year our house flooded so we had to pay some people to repair our house. I adapted Good because it was kinda easy finding a school and making new Friends for me. The experience shaped my life because I would have never met better friends if I had moved some where else like New York for example. And it is really fun here and I would not have wanted to move any where else.
