She wants this so much she decides to stand up for it. She started small by little gatherings, interviews and saying how it is not fair and she ended up winning the Nobel Peace Prize. For instance, “The more interviews I gave, the stronger I felt and the more support we received.” She did not stop when she started receiving threats. Then, she was shot for standing up for what she believed in. She put her life in danger to face her challenges. It was a miracle when she did not die. Similarly, Auggie had other challenges. He was teased a lot about his face. Someone even came up with a mean game about him. He also had to have lots of surgeries. Surgeries can be very scary, but Auggie is very brave about them. For example, when talking about his surgeries he says he has had “ twenty-seven since I was born.” These similarities are challenges that affect both

All over the world, there are terrible things that have happened, but some people actually see them and have the courage to make the right change.

Thus, ethos, the building or undermining the credibility of the speaker is seen throughout the speech. The first example of ethos is built by the way Malala connects herself to the people of the UN by referring to herself and her audience as “brothers and sisters;” this phrase causes the audience to pay attention to what she is saying from the beginning of the speech while causing a feeling of kinsmanship. In addition, Malala builds her ethos by keeping a calm, steady voice throughout the duration. Moreover, Malala ethos is strengthened through the phrase, “one girl among many.” Malala wants her audience to view her as just another girl, not a martyr or a Saint. She insists that she was only one of the millions injured and that she is merely speaking for the voices that cannot be heard. Furthermore, Malala’s ethos is enhanced when she insists that she learned peace, compassion, forgiveness, and the concept of change from social activist leaders of the past. This builds her ethos by developing common ground among the audience; thus, the same activist who influenced the common person also affected her for the
These people saw the wrong around them and had to do something in order to set it right. In Stand-Up two individuals stand up against the wrong and strive to make it right. In Stand-Up Malala gets injured speaking out against the Taliban. Her own opinion got herself hurt by trying to speak out against the wrong. Even though Malala was shot it didn’t shake her faith of wanting her right for education. If people were to worry about being hurt trying to speak against someone, then so many bad people would get away. “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?” (Stand-Up) Malala stood up for her right to learn by speaking up for herself others have a right to learn. If Malala didn’t say anything then she wouldn’t get the education she wants and others would soon be in her place. Standing by and watching people be stripped of their rights is wrong. Malala saw that and spoke up and tried to help
The obstacles which we must face are not there to hinder our daily life. They are there to provide countless opportunities to obtain greater success. In order to be successful we must look at every obstacle as a new opportunity.
Life is full of hardships, which is a bitch. But, if faced, they are overcome and you are rewarded, which rocks. However, if the problems are not dealt with, more problems will arise. My title is a quote by Art Alexakis—lead singer of the band Everclear. He was presented with problems in his life, but he faced them. And now his life is much better. No one ever promised that life would be easy, and no one ever told you exactly what to expect. This is because everyone’s life is different. No one faces the same challenges. But, everyone has to face life sooner or later.
