In "I Am Malala," Malala is fighting for her right to go to school in Pakistan. She never gives up because she really wants to go to school and have equal rights for girls. When Malala is forced to move away from her home, she is very upset and wants to stay so she can get an education. When she returns she is happy to find her books and school supplies. In the book, Malala states, "To my joy I found my school bag still packed with my books, and I gave thanks that that my prayers had been answered and that they were safe. I took out my books one by one and just stared at them. Math, physics, Urdu, English, Pashto, chemistry, biology, Islamiyat, Pakistan studies. Finally I would be able to return to school without fear." Malala was so happy to get back to her old life of being able to go to school. She doesn't let anyone stop her from going to school because she loves going to school so much. She believes that she should be able to go to school, so she does.
The article "Texas Cheerleaders Going to Court Over God's Word?" shows how cheerleaders stand up for their belief: God. They put bible verses on signs at the football games because they felt they were encouraging to the players. When they stood up for their faith, they were told that they could not share these bible verses. The girls said that this was a violation of free speech and they filed a counter suit when they were told to take their bible verses down. They won't give up. "They're good kids, they've been raised right. They know what they believe and they weren't afraid to stand up and say what they believe and to take whatever came with it," Mama Jack, a local restaurant owner, said.
Both Malala and the cheerleaders showed courage because they both strongly believe in something. Although people disapprove of their beliefs, they still continue to do what they want. Malala continues to go to school because she loves school. She can't go to school, but she still does. The cheerleaders are Christians and they want to have bible verses at the football games. Even though they were told not to, they were later able to do this because they stood up for themselves. Malala and the cheerleaders are inspirational and confident. They strongly commit to what they believe in and they don't let anyone get in their way.

I like how you used the Texas girl, though I disagree with what she did though. The reason I disagree with what she did though. I also read I am Malala as well. I like the graphics as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the connection you made between the cheerleaders and Malala. They both were standing up for their beliefs and you made that clear in your writing.
