    A Taliban leader said that if girls did not stop going to school within a month, there would be repercussions. Instead of capitulating, this proclamation only made Yousafzai more passionate and courageous. She continued to attend school, despite the numerous threats and causes for fear. As an education activist, she was in more danger than most of her classmates, so it was not safe for her to walk anywhere, instead she had to take a car or bus. One day, while aboard a school bus with her classmates and friends, two men entered asking which girl was named Malala. The other girls looked at Yousafzai which unintentionally gave away her location. The men shot 15 year old Yousafzai in a defining moment in history. This not only had consequences for her and her family, but it also had consequences for the citizens of Pakistan and people living around the world. This was a turning point because people began to realize that the Taliban would target anyone with opposing views, even teenage girls.

    She uses illusions and allusions by saying “We realize the importance of light when we see darkness.” and, “This is the compassion that I have learnt from Muhammad-the prophet of mercy, Jesus christ and Lord Buddha. This is the legacy of change that I have inherited from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali Jinnah.” She uses a metaphor of “light and darkness” to show how we realize the importance of our voice when we cannot use it and need it the most. She additionally refers to famous icons and leaders of religion to compare herself to. Malala also gives statistics, saying 57 million children are not receiving the education they deserve. She makes the audience face the honest truth and continues to build her argument by saying, “The extremists are afraid of books and pens. The power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women. The power of the voice of women frightens them.” She uses this to connect education with women’s rights and how society treats women differently. Malala uses anaphora effectively, as well. With her repetition of the words “their right” in the 6th section of her speech, she passionately gets her point across, making us feel just as passionate. With Malala’s ability to speak confidently on this subject, she tries to unite us by using “We” and “Us”. Malala urges us to start a revolution, to join her in bringing change. This makes the audience feel as if she needs you personally, to help her cause. She also gains sympathy by mentioning the women and children struggling from

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.
