Being shot in the head by Taliban did not stop Malala for advocating for the right to education of children. Through her heroic exploits, she received a Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 2014. This speech was delivered by her during the award ceremony. The speech constitutes everything that Malala stands for. She perfectly provided her background, motivation, and work, along with being grateful towards everyone involved with her in the speech. As an avid speaker, she has also used some rhetorical tactics to capture the attention of her listeners and make sure her point gets through everyone’s mind.
Malala started her speech with some holy words of Islam and then thanking god and her parents, family and all those people around the world who supported her. She also dedicates her award to helpless and forgotten children who desperately want education. She also pointed towards the importance of providing education, especially to girls instead of getting them married at a tender

“Let us begin this ending. Let this end with us.” In this scenario, she portrays the same idea but in two unique ways. The idea is to end all the problems of children she represents. Similarly to her first sentence, the second sentence signifies the importance of ending the fight against war, inequality, and depravation of education.
In Malala 's speech we can find a great use of simile. She states, “Dear brothers and sisters, I was named after the inspirational Pashtun Joan of Arc, Malalai of Maiwand. The word Malala means “grief stricken”, “sad”, but in order to lend some happiness to it, my grandfather would always call me Malala- The happiest girl in this world and today I am very happy that we are standing together for an important cause.” A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things. Here, she compares the meaning of Malala and the meaning her grandfather gave to her
It shows that similes have to be compared universally so everyone can understand. This poem is a really funny read and I
Then she also used simile of figures of speech to describe the dead snake. For instance, “He is as cool and gleaming as a braided whip”, the speaker compared the black snake with a braided whip, and “he is as beautiful and quiet as a dead brother”, she regarded the black brother. Let’s start with the first one of two sentences, the speaker chose the braided whip as vehicle because its shape also was as same as the black snake’s, but different from an old bicycle whip, the speaker chose some positive words that were “cool” and “gleaming” to describe the black snake, I thought the conver of diction presented changes in her delicate feelings. Subsequently, the second sentence made me understood what changes were. I thought that was she no longer think the black snake was a snake but her compatriot, because she said that he was her dead brother. These similes also expressed the speaker’s affection in
An example is, when Grummore makes reference to the heir the nurse tearfully said, “never had no hair. Anybody that studied the the loyal family knowed that.” This is funny because the nurse says hair instead of heir and loyal not royal.To support his purpose and tone, the author uses literary devices such as simile and personification. Simile uses like or as to compare unrelated items. When Kay was trying to convince Sir Ector to go to London, White uses the phrase “eyes like marbles” to describe Grummore’s eyes. He also uses simile during the scene where Merlin is giving up his position as tutor and is leaving the household. White describes Archimedes as “spinning like a top” when he disappears from Merlyn's shoulder. Also, in the scene where Wart pulled the sword from the stone, thousands
In the poem, it says, “ Does it dry up/like a raisin in the sun?”. Since they are comparing two dissimilar things using “like” or “as”, it is a simile. In “Harlem Night”, there is imagery. In the poem, it says, “Moon is shining./Night sky is blue./Stars are great drops/Of golden dew” (Hughes 7-10). There is nice, descriptive images.
Malala started her heroic journey when she started blogging under a pen name “Gul Makai” how life is with the Taliban for the BBC. She knew that by doing this she was taking a risk, but for her, the risk was worth it if she could get girls to have an education. She was able to go back to school when
The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan- Malalai of Maiwand who inspired the Afghan people, who were losing hope, to spur the army to victory against the British/Indian forces. Malala describes life in Mingora, Swat Valley, Pakistan. She outlines the Indian- Pakistan revolution and the shift of the Pashtun people into the Swat Valley. Malala’s father grew up in Shahpur but struggled to get his education in the town where he met Malala’s mother. They married and his dream of building a school, Khushal Public School, became reality when they moved into Mingora.
The speaker uses figurative language to compare a girl that he loves to the happiness of nature, and to state that he will make a special relationship end happily.

The utilization of diction throughout this novel is astonishing. Malala Yousafzai utilizes impacting words with the use of, “ voiceless children,deprived, and stubborn”(Yousafzai, 2014). Her usage of the following words portrays how she used her knowledge to capture the viewer's attention with eye opening vocabulary.
In order to change that, Malala started speaking at conventions and conferences. The article, ‘Malala Yousafzai: A Girl with
The passage of the simile is the first verse paragraph following several prose paragraphs. The structure of the verse is loose in following rhythmic or syllabic patterns. Although the form does not have any specific significance to the content, perhaps it is written in verse to sound somewhat poetic. Because the scene is very descriptive and dramatic, it is fitting to write it in a poem-like structure rather than simple prose.
In the fall of 2012, a young Pakistani female was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding the bus home from school, but being shot was only one of the trails Malala Yousafzai was to overcome. Malala’s injuries were too great to be dealt with in hospitals in Pakistan; thus, she was transferred to England to undergo surgery. While in England Malala’s story became so popular that the United Nations heard of how she was shot and as a result, she had become an advocate for education; therefore, on July of 2013, at the age of sixteen, Malala, was invited to speak about her experience at the United Nation’s headquarters in New York. Her speech was intended to inform people of an epidemic that has invaded not only the Middle East but also
