  • Malala Distinctive Voice

    1187 Words  | 3 Pages

    She talks about her being targeted and shot by the Taliban for advocating education for children, especially women, and uses this tragedy as a catalyst for change. Her experience conjures compassion from the audience which she further extends to inspire political change and to show that by being able to stand at the podium to tell her story, she is a beacon of hope and voice for the voiceless. Malala uses the ironic metaphor, "They thought that the bullets would silence us", to demonstrate that the Taliban's attempt to silence her only gave birth to the collective voice which is harder to silence. Malala establishes that, "(after the attack) weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born", which highlights that the violence initiated by the Taliban to stop and weaken her only strengthened her resolve. Malala uses powerful abstract nouns and repetition in, "My ambitions are the same. My hopes are the same. My dreams are the same", to link in with her higher purpose of quality education for all. Her resolve has strengthened her and allowed her to represent those that have been silenced. She uses her political voice to validate her global agenda and to advocate social justice for all. Malala urges the audience to make a change by defining herself as a voice for those that are voiceless. She uses anaphora in, "their rights" to reinforce and emphasise
