Research Paper On Malala Yousafzai

There have been many problems worldwide having to do with discrimination and lack of education for children due to their genders, races, and ethnicity. Malala Yousafzai is living proof that these problems have drastic effects on people who are struggling to get proper education. Malala is a 20 year old girl from Pakistan’s Swat Region who was shot in the head on a school bus in the act of revolting against the Taliban and attending school. Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for women’s education. Moreover, she continues to be an advocate for women’s education throughout the world.

When Malala says this, she is telling the audience that she will fight for the right to an education for all children around the world.

This is understandable, as the goal of Malala’s speech is to encourage a point: an access to education is something that every child should have. This quote supports the idea that all children worldwide deserve an education. Another example of Malala’s use of repetition to substantiate her theme
