I am Kyla Manlangit, a high school student who is currently reading your various works of fiction. I am writing to you for the reason of your negative view towards the human race. Your racist opinions towards minorities can be found in your work and I disagree with your views. In order to prove to you that not all humans are as negative as you think they are, you must look out into the world, not only in Providence. Good people are more common than you can imagine. I can confidently assure you that most humans are kinder than what you believe them to be.
Majority of humans have more positive traits than negative. People are generous and not greedy when it comes to providing assistance to their fellow human kind. Generosity can show how willing

Compassion for people is needed in order to find the good in humanity during a horrific event such as the Holocaust. During the Second World War, a man by the name of Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany. Hitler was a man full of hatred and persecuted approximately 11 million people. Many would believe that as a German Nazi, Oskar Schindler was just as ruthless and evil as Hitler himself. On the contrary, his actions during WWII had saved nearly 12 hundred Jews from persecution. Schindler was a fierce industrialist who had all the qualities of what people thought of as a Nazi. However, he used his position to risked everything just to save the Jews who worked in his factory from Auschwitz. Schindler did what was best for humanity when humanity was at its worse. His respect for human life compelled him to do the right thing and save the
The journey of Malala’s life has been fighting to get education for young girls of Pakistan. Malala wants to show everyone how valuable girls are and that they don’t need to be hidden away from the public, “My mother always told me,’hide your face, people are looking at you.’ I would reply, ‘it does not matter; I am also looking at them’” (Yousafzai 43). Malala will no longer stand for
Speaking out for that in which one believes is brave. Knowing the repercussions could include death and choosing to speak out still is braver still. Malala Yousafzai possesses such faith in her cause that she knew she could be killed and still didn’t bat an eye before setting off to change the world. She trusted her God to protect her, but never forgot the risks. She never allowed violent thoughts to take control of her mind, instead insisting on peaceful resistance methods and the power of words to change minds. While I do not share the same God with Malala, I admire her faith in her cause and in her country, and hope to become a fraction of the positive influence that she is. Malala Yousafzai is a peaceful fighter who would do anything for her cause, the God she loves, and her country.
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 movie “Schindler’s list” is a compelling, real-life depiction of the events that occurred during the 1940’s. It illustrates the persecution and horrific killings of the Jewish people. It also exemplifies the hope and will of the Jewish people, which undoubtedly is a factor in the survival of their race. The most important factor however is because of the willingness of one man, Oskar Schindler, to stand out and make a difference.

Women in America do not have to worry about a terrorist group coming and taking their rights away. They have a government that protects them from these groups and makes sure they have the same rights as others. In the Middle East, especially Afghanistan and Pakistan, women are scared to speak too loudly. These women live in fear each day of their lives because if they make one small mistake it could mean their life. Yet, there are some people who are fighting for women’s rights, especially women’s education. Malala Yousafzai is a girl who fought for women’s education. At the age of eleven, Malala began writing a blog for BBC Urdu. The blog described how she was upset that women’s education under the Taliban would be forced to stop. Malala also appeared on national television talking about women’s education. She has become a symbol of resistance against the Taliban. Even after Malala was put on the Taliban’s hit list, she continues to speak out about what she felt needed to be said. Malala would give her life for this cause, and she almost did. On October 9, 2012, Malala was on her way home from her morning classes when a man walked on to her bus and asked, “Who is Malala”. When she said it was her he shot her. The bullets hit her head and her leg. The Taliban ordered for her to be shot because she was promoting western culture in Pashtun areas. In another case Mukhtar Mai stood up for women’s rights and was sexually assaulted by multiple men with orders from the tribal council. The tradition in Mukhtar’s tribe was that a woman who is sexually assaulted by multiple men should kill herself, but instead of committing suicide she fought for her cause (Samira 28-30). Although the Taliban restricts women’s education for religious reaso...
Being shot in the face and seriously injured, did not stop Malala Yousafzai from pursuing her dreams. She did not morally agree with her government’s treatment of women, so she fought for her beliefs. Malala grew up in a rural village in Pakistan and was forced to follow customs she did not believe in. Swat Valley changed to a strictly ruled village with discrimination towards women. Malala created awareness around the world of the situation and stood up for her rights to education. Through Malala Yousafzai’s painful experience with growing up in a dangerous part of Pakistan, she created awareness in hope to regain the rights to educational opportunities for women.
" The businessman, Oskar Schindler, demonstrated a powerful example of a man who was moved emotionally to step in and take action to save the lives of the Jewish people. His bravery still commands great respect today. His role shows the great significance of speaking up against injustice and choosing not to be silent.

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 father is an educational activist who sensed that there was something special about his daughter, later encouraging her to express herself and opinions freely and to have a voice of her own. Malala started to fight for education rights in her country in 2008 when she was just 11 and she addressed the local press club in Peshawar and talked about how the Taliban took away her simple right of education then she started a blog for the BBC Urdu where she talked about the Taliban which was a move that motivated the Taliban and on the 9th of October a Taliban gunman shot her in the head. The bullet went through her head and neck to the end of her shoulder. Malala eventually survived the shooting and not only did it motivate her to be a role model to other girls who are or were suffering of the oppression of the Taliban but she fought for what was right and the 9th of October was just the start of the journey of a great hero who will never be forgotten for standing up for her rights and most importantly other’s rights. The second person who I also consider a powerful woman and a hero for many. She is
Writer, political activist, and feminist Malala Yousafzai once said, “One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world.” Education is not a luxury, but rather a basis for survival; sadly, thirty-one million females ages five through eleven are not in a primary school and seventeen million of these females are expected to never enroll in school (Education). Malala Yousafzai fought, and is currently still fighting for education rights for women and children (Van). Malala Yousafzai defied a law which she determined unjust and was prepared to pay the ultimate price: her life. Due to Yousafzai’s personal beliefs, she choose to participate in civil disobedience by protesting the ban on education. Malala Yousafzai was successful in her actions through the use of peaceful protest. Yousafzai committed an act of civil disobedience in the eyes of the Taliban.

In protest to this, Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl, refused to follow these rules, and even began a blog for the British Broadcasting Corporation, detailing her life under Taliban rule. In response to her protest, a gunman approached her, and shot her three times. This assassination attempt started a global movement in support of Yousafzai and her beliefs. Like Thoreau, Gandhi, King, and Yousafzai, one must realize when others are being oppressed and take action against those in power who oppress the people they rule. Otherwise, there will never be change, and the world will never see justice.
