Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement
— first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then
as an international activist who could travel anywhere except to the home she loved. In We
Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal
stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys — girls who have lost
their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known.

In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important
reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of
the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person — often a young person — with hopes and
dreams5

This book of Malala Yousufzai talks about how she and her family was treated in refuse

B. SUMMRRY OF THE BOOK

This book specifically talks about authors life story how she & her family fought back with
Taliban and stood up for educational right after shot by Taliban how she survived and
continued her social work and in age of just 17 she won national award for spreading peace.

Autobiography is written by Christina Lamb and Malala Yousafzai. It gives the details of
the life of a girl called Malala, who was shot by the Taliban as a result of her outspoken
nature in support of education. The girl grows up in Pakistan. She speaks passionately about
the need to educate the girl child. However, her beliefs do not augur well with the Taliban.
As she walks home from school, she shot is shot. However, the bullet to the head does not
kill her.

The Taliban are in control of the area where Malala lives. Their leader is respected most
people in the area and receives huge amounts of money. Later, the leader becomes fanatical
and openly influences other people to take on his beliefs.

Malala’s father also openly talks about what he believes. In his view, girls should go to
school and should not be viewed merely as property. Consequently, he is warned that he
might face the Taliban’s wrath.

Malala wakes up in the hospital in England. Dr. Reynolds acts as her legal guardian while
Ziauddin and Tor Pekai struggle to fly to England. After nearly a week, the government of
Pakistan relents and allows them to visit their recovering daughter. In England, they’re
immensely relieved to learn that Malala will make a full recovery, though she’ll need to
spend a long time in the hospital

As she waits in the hospital, Malala learns that she’s become globally famous following her
shooting. Heads of state and celebrities send her flowers, and other humanitarians, inspired
by her example, speak out against the Taliban’s brutality. Malala resolves to use her fame
to crusade for education and women’s rights on a global scale

The book ends in 2013. Malala’s family has taken up residence in England. Ziauddin works
as a consultant for both Pakistan’s educational system and the committee on education for
the United Nations. Malala attends school in Birmingham, focusing on her studies in spite
of her enormous fame. She feels more than a little uncomfortable in her new country, not
least because her classmates think of her as a celebrity, not a classmate. Nevertheless, Malala
 6

has emerged from her shooting stronger and more determined to fight injustice than ever.
As the book ends, she reminds readers that they are lucky to be alive and to be loved by
God. Though the Taliban tried to kill her, she concludes, they couldn’t kill the global crusade
for education and equality.

C. THEME/ RESEARCH AREA/ CENTRAL IDEA OF THE BOOK

The main focus of this paper is to enlighten the focus on people who still have that kind of
thinking that female education is not necessary and as Pakistani culture explain under this
book that female doesn’t have any rights & freedom that they can step out without any
family male members these books central of idea is women education and how a 14-year-
old girl fought back with Taliban for her and other female education.

D. CONTENT OF THE BOOK

Part I BEFORE THE TALIBAN
1. My daughter is born:
Malala Yousafzai introduces herself to the reader and gives background about her life. She
explains that she was born in Mingora, the largest city in the beautiful Swat Valley, located
in northwest Pakistan. She is a member of the largest Pashtun tribe, the Yousafzai, who live
by the Pashtunwali code of hospitality and honor. Her father celebrates her birth, which is
unusual in a country that doesn’t value girls, and he names her after a courageous Afghan
heroine. Malala introduces her small family—her educated, forward-thinking father
Ziauddin, who founded and runs the Khushal School; her beautiful and pious mother, Toor
Pekai; and her younger brothers Khushal and Atal, with whom she sometimes fights. Malala
details her parents’ background and the love they have for each other. She also presents the
history of her region, telling how it thrived under the two father-son kings and how Swat
became a part of Pakistan in 1969. Malala makes clear that she considers herself Swati first,
then Pashtun, and finally Pakistani. She introduces her neighbor friend, Safina, and
highlights the difference between the freedom of the boys and the restrictions on the girls.
She knows her father supports her freedom, but she wonders if freedom will be possible for
her.6

2. My father the falcon:

 7

Malala describes her father’s background, bookending the chapter with the story of her
father entering a public speaking competition in order to conquer his stutter and finally
win his father’s approval. Malala’s grandfather, or Baba, Rohul Amin, is an impatient,
learned theologian and imam who is famous for his speeches.
In relating the history of Pakistan, Malala details the military coup and rule of General
Zia, the man responsible for the Islamization of Pakistan. Under his regime, religion gains
prominence and women’s freedoms are restricted. Initially, General Zia is shunned by the
international community, but after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan
is seen as pivotal to the Western fight against communism and an inspiring model for
other Islamic countries. General Zia makes joining the jihad—the fight against enemies
of Islam—an important religious pillar. Ziauddin believes he wants to be a jihadi until
the more secular, pacificist views of his future wife’s family change his mind. Despite
how hard Baba is on Ziauddin, he gives him a good education and the proudly nicknames
him Falcon. But Ziauddin, who becomes more generous than his father, rejects the
nickname because this high-flying bird is cruel. 7
3. Growing up in the school:
Malala’s mother, like millions of Pakistani women, is uneducated. Her father, Ziauddin,
believes that the education of children is vital to Pakistan’s success, and he passionately
pursues his own education, though his efforts are sometimes thwarted by financial
problems. He is finally able to attend college thanks to the kindness of his wife’s relatives,
who he becomes very close to. In college, after a plane crash kills General Zia and Benazir
Bhutto becomes the first female prime minister of Pakistan, Ziauddin gets involved in
politics.
After college, Ziauddin starts a school in Mingora with a college friend, Naeem. They
struggle financially, and their friendship falters. Ziauddin finds a new investment partner
in his college friend Hidayatullah. While trying to launch the Khushal School, they
experience many financial hardships, such as fighting bribery demands from corrupt
officials and weathering a flood. When Ziauddin marries Toor Pekai, it’s a real
partnership of love. Later, Toor Pekai gives birth to a stillborn girl, but when Malala is
born on July 12, 1997, the family’s luck turns. With Ziauddin’s hard work and optimistic

7

 8

determination, the school grows. From a young age, Malala spends all her time at the
school. Life begins to change after 9/11, marking the beginning of war in Swat.8

4. The village:
Malala is told that like her mother’s father, she is humorous and wise, and like her Baba, to
whom she feels especially close, she is vocal. She recounts her visits to her parents’ home
village in the mountains of Shangla, where her family travels during the Muslim holidays of
Big Eid and Small Eid. She details the landscape and weather, and describes the rustic,
impoverished lives of the villagers; men often work far from home, and there is no
electricity, running water, or hospitals. Despite the poverty, the village has a strong sense of
community and hospitality, and Malala has fun playing with her cousins and other children,
who think of her as a city girl.
When Malala is a teenager, a male cousin criticizes her for not properly covering herself.
Malala highlights the difficult, restricted lives of the women in Shangla. They must cover
their faces, cannot speak to males who aren’t close family, and are sometimes treated
brutally. When Malala asks her father about this, he tells her life is harder in Afghanistan
under the Taliban. Malala does not realize that the Taliban will soon affect her life in Swat,
even though her father promises to protect her freedom and encourages her to pursue her
dreams.9
5. Why I don’t wear earrings & Pashtuns don’t say thank you
Malala introduces her friends: her best friend and schoolmate Moniba, who sets the rules
in their friendship, and her neighbor and playmate Safina. When Safina steals Malala’s
toy mobile phone, Malala steals Safina’s jewelry to get revenge. Discovering this,
Malala’s parents tell her this behavior will bring shame to the family. Malala vows to
never lie or steal again, and stops wearing jewelry to remind herself of this vow. She talks
about the Pashto belief of neither forgetting nor forgiving; both cruelties and kindnesses
are bound to be repaid, which is why Pashtuns rarely say thank you.
However, Malala decides she doesn’t like the Pashtunwali code of badal, or revenge. She
prefers nonviolence. She recounts when General Pervez Musharraf seizes power from
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to become Pakistan’s fourth military dictator. This event
causes the international community to boycott Pakistan. In school, Malala is a top student,

always in competition with Moniba and her academic rival, Malka-e-Noor. Malala enters
a public speaking competition to win back her parents’ approval. She delivers a speech
written by her father that focuses on the importance of doing good using methods that
harm none. Malala comes in second, which teaches her an important lesson about being
10
a gracious loser. Children of the rubbish mountain

6. The mufti who tried to close our school

Now that her family has a TV, Malala enjoys watching a show about a boy whose magic
pencil can bring anything he draws to life. She wishes she had this magic pencil to make
people happy. She describes seeing destitute children sorting through a garbage pile. Her
father explains that the children cannot go to school like Malala because they must help
their families eat by finding things to sell. Malala describes the way her family members,
her mother in particular, help their community; they share food, money, room in their
home, and free places in her father’s growing school. However, this causes some wealthy
families to withdraw their paying students from his school because they don’t like them
being around poor students.
Meanwhile, Malala’s father has become a respected man in Swat, and he promotes
education, peace, and the preservation of the environment. Malala listens to her father
and his friends talk about politics, especially 9/11, which brings Pakistan into a
relationship, often corrupt, with America. Malala describes the varied and complicated
attitudes in her country about the Taliban and the war in Afghanistan. Malala asks God
to make her courageous so she can help the world
The Mufti Who Tried to Close Our School
Malala tells of the struggle between a local conservative mufti, or Islamic scholar, and
her father, Ziauddin. The mufti accuses Ziauddin of committing blasphemy by allowing
girls to go to school instead being in purdah, or seclusion. Malala says that she does not
like the interpretation of Islam that emphasizes jihad and restricts women’s freedom by
requiring that they stay home and wear burqas. 11

When men from the community confront Ziauddin about his school, he defends his
position by referencing the Quran. He then offers to have his female students enter school

through a different entrance. Malala then relates the bloody division of India that created
Muslim Pakistan and resulted in the death of millions of Hindus and Muslims. She
explains the disagreement between Sunnis and Shias over who is the rightful heir to the
Prophet Mohammad. She highlights the subdivisions within the Sunnis in Pakistan. While
General Musharraf relaxes constraints on women in Pakistan, Malala’s more conservative
Pashtun area elects a mullah government (MMA) that gains support because of America’s
invasion of Afghanistan and its fight against the Taliban. Violence breaks out when
General Musharraf sends the army to the ungoverned FATA lands and the United States
attacks Pakistan. Ziauddin worries about the growing militancy that is coming to Swat

7. The autumn of the earthquake:

Malala recounts the earthquake on October 8, 2005, the most devastating earthquake in
Pakistan’s history. Mingora survives without too much damage, but the northern parts of
Pakistan, including Shangla, are devasted, and thousands lose their lives. The Pakistani
government responds slowly and ineffectively to this disaster. From over the Afghan
border, Americans troops offer aid, accessing remote areas by helicopters. However,
much of the practical help comes from conservative religious groups like TNSM, which
clear rubble, bury bodies, offer prayers, and take in orphans at their fundamentalist
madrasas, or religious schools. As Malala explains, these Islamic groups take advantage
of the situation, claiming that the earthquake is the result of God’s unhappiness about
Pakistanis not following sharia, or Islamic law.12

PART II THE WALLEY OF THE DEATH

8. Radio mullah
Malala describes the arrival of the Taliban in Swat when she is ten years old. Their leader,
Maulana Fazlullah, becomes known as Radio Mullah when he starts broadcasting regularly
from an illegal radio station. Radio serves as a vital source of news for the many people who
are illiterate and have no TVs. At first, Fazlullah impresses many, including Malala’s
mother, with his pious guidance. He supports bringing back sharia law, an appealing idea to
people who are unhappy with the failures of the Pakistani justice system. Fazlullah declares
more and more things to be haram, or forbidden, including music, movies, dance, haircuts,
Western dress, and school for girls. He claims sinfulness will invoke God’s punishment.

12
Ibid
 11

Increasingly, Fazlullah focuses on his large female audience—arguing they should stay
home and only go out veiled and with a male relative. Many women donate money and
jewelry to his cause. Malala sees Pashtun women like her mother as strong caretakers. Soon
the Taliban patrol the streets looking for wrongdoing, killing and publicly flogging people
for their transgressions or resistance. Danger gets closer to Malala. A public notice
condemns Ziauddin’s school for being too Western. Ziauddin responds by writing a letter
to the newspaper, begging the Taliban not to harm his schoolchildren13

9. Toffees, tennis ball & buddhas of sweet :

Malala explains that the Taliban not only ban arts and culture, but also attack history,
destroying important Buddha statues. Now the Taliban have reached the capital, Islamabad,
where there is a violent confrontation at the Red Mosque between Islamic militants and the
military. The mosque, siding with Osama bin Laden, protests the government’s support of
America’s War on Terror. The militant Burqa Brigade highlight the Taliban’s hypocrisy
concerning women: The Taliban demands that women stay home, hidden from view, unless
they choose to join the bloody battle.

In response to the killing of one the mosque’s leaders, there are a series of suicide bombings
in the country, and Fazlullah declares war on the government. Benazir Bhutto’s return to
Pakistan in October 2007 fills many with hope for democracy, but she is murdered by a
suicide bomber two months later. Malala protests the way the Quran is misinterpreted to
justify Benazir’s murder. Meanwhile, the army arrives in Swat, greeting the people with
toffees and tennis balls and establishing a curfew. Fighting erupts between the army and the
militants. The Taliban gains control of the area, but Musharraf sends more troops. The
fighting turns fierce, and different militant groups join together to form the Pakistan Taliban,
strengthening their effort. Fazlullah is designated chief of Swat.

10. The cleaver Class:

School becomes a refuge for Malala during the war between the Taliban and the army. She
continues to compete academically with Malka-e-Noor and Moniba. Her class of girls has
a reputation for being particularly clever and asking a lot of questions. At the same time, the
bomb blasts and killings make the situation in Swat worse. Because Fazlullah continues to
insist that girls should stay home instead of going to school, the Taliban start to blow up
schools. By the end of 2008, they have destroyed 400 schools. During one of these

13
Supra
 12

explosions, members of Moniba’s family are injured and killed. Malala’s father, Ziauddin,
reassures Malala that the morning light helps them rediscover their courage.

Meanwhile, Ziauddin becomes an important spokesperson for truth and peace, bringing
attention to the situation in Swat. He travels to Peshawar and Islamabad to give interviews
and speaks to Voice of America and the BBC. Following her father’s example, eleven-year-
old Malala also gives interviews, speaking up for change. Despite the new government
under President Asif Zardari, nothing improves in Swat. During Ramadan, the Taliban
bombs powerlines and gas pipelines, and at the end of 2008, they announce the closure of
girls’ schools14

11. The bloody square:

Malala explains that in Swat, the Taliban rule through terror. They leave the murdered
bodies of wrongdoers in the square as a warning to others. The place becomes known as
“Bloody Square.” The Taliban kill a well-known local dancer for what they claim is immoral
behavior and a teacher for not wearing his shalwar, or pants, correctly. Malala and her father
feel unnerved and overwhelmed by the relentless horrific events. People begin to accept that
the Taliban will not go away, and the situation erodes trust between Pashtuns. Some become
suspicious of Ziauddin, wondering why he is still alive even though he speaks out. Ziauddin
must take extra precautions, often staying away from home to protect his family.

The normalization of the Taliban is marked by the district deputy commissioner becoming
a follower. Malala observes that unappreciated manual laborers join the Taliban to have
more status. In 2008, Sufi Mohammad, the founder of TNSM, is released from prison. The
army remains a strong presence in Swat but does not make life there better. Some, including
Malala’s father, think that establishing sharia in Swat will help end Taliban violence. Malala
observes that living in terror has deeply eroded Pashtun and Islamic values

12. The dairy of gul makai:

Eleven-year-old Malala volunteers to write blog posts for a BBC Urdu website about what
her life is like under Taliban rule. Writing under the pseudonym Gul Makai to protect her
identity, she realizes the power of the pen. The situation at her school grows increasingly
difficult as girls are pressured to drop out and single young women are pressured to marry.
In January 2009, the New York Times makes a documentary of what will be Malala’s last
day of school for a while. Adding to her sadness, Malala argues with Moniba. The closing

14
Supra 1
 13

of the girls’ school causes financial troubles for the Khushal School. Ziauddin and Malala
continue to give interviews about the importance of education.

Even though Malala’s mother, Toor Pekai, is worried for Malala, she does not ask Malala
to hide her face during these interviews. Malala says that the Taliban can close schools, but
that won’t stop students from learning, and she asserts that education is for all people. The
BBC documentary Class Dismissed in Swat Valley draws the attention of Stanford
University student Shiza Shahid, who is from Islamabad. Malala and her school friends are
taken on a trip to Islamabad, where life is much freer. The trip helps them temporarily forgot
the troubles in their homeland15

13. A funny kind of peace:

Under pressure, Fazlullah decides girls ten and under can return to school. By pretending to
be a year younger, Malala also returns to school. On the way there, she notes the emptiness
of the streets. The army now outnumbers the Taliban, but the Taliban control the majority
of Swat. In February 2009, the Taliban agree to an indefinite cease-fire in return for the
government imposing sharia. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warns that the
government is giving in to extremists.

The Pashtuns desperately want peace, but the Taliban only become harsher. Someone
confronts Toor Pekai in the market for not wearing a burqa, and a video circulates of a
Taliban member publicly flogging a teenage girl for leaving her house with a man who is
not her husband. Some thirty or forty thousand people attend a public meeting with Sufi
Mohammad, who proclaims that the Taliban will move on to Islamabad. President Obama
becomes increasingly concerned about the situation in Pakistan and threatens to intervene.
In May 2009, the army resumes its effort to drive the Taliban out of Swat. The residents of
Mingora are told to evacuate.16

14. Leaving the valley:

In May 2009, Malala’s family becomes part of an exodus of almost 2 million Pashtun, the
largest in history. Leaving behind her beloved schoolbooks, they travel to Shangla while
Ziauddin goes to Peshawar to speak out about the terrible situation for the internally
displaced persons (IDPs), like Malala’s family. At the end of their difficult two-day journey,
Malala’s family almost doesn’t get through an army checkpoint. In Shangla, Malala goes to

school; she is more assertive than the other girls and does not cover her face. The radio
keeps her family informed about events in Mingora, where fighting occurs in the streets.
The army finally gains control of the city.

After six weeks, Malala’s family reunites with Ziauddin in Peshawar. Malala and Ziauddin
attend a meeting in Islamabad with U.S. Special Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. Malala
asks for Holbrooke’s help supporting girls’ education. Holbrooke tells her there are many
other problems in Pakistan that need to be addressed first. In Abbottabad, Malala reunites
with Moniba. Malala turns twelve, but she feels upset when she realizes her family forgot
her birthday. For her birthday, Malala wishes for peace in Swat17

PART III THREEE GIRLS THREE BULLETS

15. The valley of sorrow
Three months after leaving, Malala’s family returns to a Mingora that has been devastated
by war and is still occupied by the army. Miraculously, her home and the Khushal School
survived despite the damage the army did to the school. Malala’s father finds a letter from
the army blaming the Pashtuns for the Taliban. The peace in the valley remains fragile, and
Taliban leaders are still at large. Still, Malala is happy to return to school. She describes
numerous opportunities to learn and use her voice, including going to Islamabad at the
invitation of Shiza Shahid, where she meets more liberated Pakistani women.

Malala is chosen as speaker of a yearlong District Child Assembly Swat, which aims to
improve the lives of children. Ziauddin also continues to speak out, but he struggles to pay
his teachers. The Taliban murder some of their critics. In the summer, extreme monsoons
devastate Pakistan, drowning thousands and destroying countless schools and homes. Once
again, the government is slow to respond. Most of the aid comes from Islamic groups and
the Pakistan and American armies. Many now understand that the Taliban have not left
Swat. Malala decides she must become a politician to help her country solve its problems18

16. Praying to be tall:

Five-foot Malala stops growing at age thirteen and worries about being too short to be
authoritative. Religious tensions continue in Pakistan. Many men have gone missing, a
controversial blasphemy-law case leads to the murder of the governor of Punjab, and
Ziauddin gets another death threat. Tensions rise between America and Pakistan when a

CIA agent kills two Pakistanis and Navy SEALs kill Osama bin Laden during a secret raid.
Some Pakistanis feel embarrassed that Pakistan has been harboring Osama bin Laden, while
others feel humiliated that Pakistan was not included in the operation. America believes that
Pakistan is an unreliable ally that’s received millions of dollars in aid.

Meanwhile, Malala receives prestigious recognition as a peacemaker. Archbishop Desmond

Tutu nominates her for an international peace prize, and the Pakistani government awards
Malala its first National Peace Prize, naming it after her. Malala requests that the prime
minister rebuild schools destroyed by the Taliban and open a university for girls in Swat.
Malala feels happy to celebrate with school friends, but her parents worry about her safety.
Ziauddin uses some of Malala’s prize money to help the family. Malala plans to start an
education fund19

17. The women and sea

Malala expresses her frustration that the opportunities and experiences of most Pakistani
women are dependent on the permission of men. For example, because her aunt’s husband
doesn’t take her to the sea, her aunt doesn’t get to see the ocean for thirty years despite
living in seaside Karachi. In 2012, Malala and her family fly for the first time, going to
Karachi for the opening of a school named for Malala. Karachi, Pakistan’s first capital and
the city with the largest Pashtun population, has become a violent place. Malala’s family
feels upset to see a celebratory photo of a governor who committed murder.

Malala visits the tomb of Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Al Jinnah, and describes the
tumultuous history of her country, where there is endless fighting between the Pashtuns and
mohajirs (people who emigrated to Pakistan and their descendants) as well as between the
Sunnis and Shias. Now, the Taliban impose their own harsh interpretation of the Quran.
Malala highlights other problems, such as the lack of education, the high rate of illiteracy,
the unreliable electricity, and the high murder rate. Even though the Taliban have gone into
hiding, they increasingly target their critics. The Taliban are now focused on Malala,
accusing her of supporting Western secularism20

18. The private Talibanization:

19

 16

Malala describes a school field trip to lush Marghazar. The following day, Ziauddin receives
an anonymous letter accusing the Khushal School of offending God by allowing the female
students to behave indecently. Ziauddin affirms the girls’ right to enjoy a field trip, telling
them the letter is propaganda from Mullah Fazlullah. But the letter gives Ziauddin more
reasons to worry. The intelligence service visits him, asking a lot of questions about his
family, school, and peace work.

That July, Malala turns fifteen, the age of adulthood in Islam. Increasingly, individuals who
criticize the militants or the army are threatened. This reality is confirmed when Ziauddin’s
friend and fellow activist, Zahid Khan, is shot. Ziauddin ignores his own safety when he
visits his friend in the hospital and refuses police security. Ziauddin doesn’t want to leave
Swat because of all his leadership work, but in an effort to stay safe, he does vary his routine.
When Zahid Khan recovers, he continues to speak out against the Taliban and the
intelligence agencies, which he believes support the Taliban. Malala gets hassled by Haroon,
an older boy who likes her, an event that will soon seem like a small problem for Malala.21

19. Who is Malala?:

Malala and her math teacher, Miss Shazia, begin to experience frightening premonitions.
Malala takes extra precautions at night, ensuring the house is locked and praying for safety.
She then provides details about the end of exam day in October 2012, when two men stop
her school bus near an army checkpoint. One man boards the bus, asks who Malala is, and
shoots her

PART IV BETWEEN THE LIFE AND DEATH

20. ‘GOD, I entrusted her to you.:
After the shooting, the bus driver rushes Malala and two other injured girls to the hospital.
When Ziauddin gets the news of Malala’s shooting, he hurries to her bedside, where he is
joined by Madam Maryam, the school principal. An army helicopter takes Malala to the
intensive care unit of a military hospital in Peshawar, where they are joined by Malala’s
mother, Toor Pekai, and her brother, Atal. When Malala’s brain starts to swell, her father
agrees to an operation that helps save her life. As Malala fights for her life, Toor Pekai prays.
Many important people gather at the hospital to show their support. Soon, the Taliban take
responsibility for the shooting. Two British doctors visit Malala and quickly determine that

21
Supra 1
 17

she is not getting the post-surgery care necessary for her survival. Malala’s father worries
he will lose her22

21. The journey into the unknown:

Malala’s survival remains in question as she struggles with infection and failing lungs and
kidneys. One of the British doctors, Dr. Fiona, decides to stay in Pakistan, despite the risk
to her own safety, to care for Malala. For better care, doctors transport Malala to another
army hospital that is put on lockdown over worries of a Taliban attack. Malala’s shooting
shocks the international community, which condemns the Taliban’s actions. In Pakistan,
many people view Malala as a peace leader, while others believe negative conspiracy stories
about her. Overseas hospitals offer to treat Malala, and the army debates what to do.

Finally, Malala is flown on a private jet to a better hospital in Birmingham, England. More
negotiations take place about who can go with Malala. While some expected Ziauddin to
travel with Malala, he refuses to leave behind the rest of his family members, who do not
yet have passports. Dr. Fiona serves as Malala’s temporary guardian as she travels without
her family. In the hostel where they are staying, Malala’s family anxiously wait for news
about her condition and put their trust in God

PART V A SECOND LIFE

22. ‘The girl shoots in the head, Birmingham’:
Malala wakes from her induced coma on October 16, 2012, far from home and without her
family. While she is relieved to be alive, she is also frightened, disoriented, and filled with
questions. She wonders where her father is and worries about how her family will pay for
her care. She also realizes that the left side of her face doesn’t move. Meanwhile, her family
continues to worry from afar in Pakistan, rarely receiving updates about Malala’s condition.

Ziauddin becomes angry when he learns that contrary to what the army claims, the Taliban
remain in Mingora and are responsible for the shooting of Malala and his friend, Zahid
Khan. When Dr. Fiona finally tells Malala what happened to her, Malala doesn’t feel angry
or deterred from her work. Politics and bureaucracy continue to detain Malala’s family,
though talking with Malala by phone eases their frustration and concern. While Malala
waits, the hospital staff tends to her needs, and Malala learns to walk again. Malala receives
an outpouring of international support, and many people send messages, cards, and gifts.

23
Most meaningfully, she receives two shawls that belonged to Benazir Bhutto. Malala
realizes that this international support helped save her life.

23. ‘They have snatched her smile’

Malala and her family have a tearful, happy reunion. Seeing Malala’s appearance, Ziauddin
observes that the Taliban stole her smile. Later, however, Malala’s smile returns after an
operation repairs her severed facial nerve. Malala works hard at recovery and goes to the
Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The family learns that a Talib, Ataullah Khan, is
responsible for her shooting. While Khan is still at large, the school bus driver has been
detained by the police despite having done nothing wrong.

The United Nations designates November 10 as Malala Day. Malala gets a visit from
Pakistan’s president, Asif Zardari, who explains that Pakistan will pay Malala’s medical
bills. He also gives Ziauddin a diplomatic passport and a job as an education attaché. This
action allows Malala’s family to stay in England without seeking asylum. In another
surgery, the missing part of Malala’s skull is covered with a titanium plate, and a cochlear
implant returns hearing to her damaged left eardrum. Finally, in the beginning of 2013,
Malala can leave the hospital. She and her family start a new life in an apartment in the
center of Birmingham. Malala feels more determined than ever to use her life to help
people24

5. CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Under this book as its title explain the life story of author and her fight for education but
if as a reviver of the book researcher felt that writing about value of girl’s education is
sideline by written and more focus was on herself only.
A. KEY ISSUES RAISED IN THE BOOK
Issues which are raised in this book by the author is that giving lower hand to female and
their education some Pakistani traditions and the rule of Taliban over Pakistan and how no.
of people who keep thinking that girls’ education is not necessary and how they should
change their thinking is also brought up in the light by author under this book called I am
Malala.

B. COMPARING THIS BOOK WITH OTHER LITERATURE ON

SAME ISSUE BY OTHER AUTHORS
1. The Diary of a young girl, first published in 1947.
By Anne Frank Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne
Frank’s remarkable diary has become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors
of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit.

In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family
fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their
whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered
in the “Secret Annexe” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced
hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present
threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her
experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous,
her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling
self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut shor

The researcher proposes to compare this Book with some other literature on similar issues
by other authors. For this purpose, the researcher will refer to 1 Book which is also an
autobiography in relation to crises in Jews.28

28

Taliban (goodreads.com) last seen on 15/10/2022
 21

This book diary of young girl also talks about the life story and dreams of the young girl
which is also tells about the crises in Jews and it is also the autobiography but central ofm
idea of the book crises in Jews and not the author herself which happened in I am Malala
where focus was more on author than education for girls.

C. COMPARING THIS BOOKWITH OTHER LITERATURE OF SAME AUTHOR

The researcher has proposed to compare this Book with other literature by the same author.
1. We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World
by Malala Yousafzai:
After authors father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night with her mother

Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in America. Her
sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy.

Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the elements to keep her
family safe

Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement
— first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then
as an international activist who could travel anywhere except to the home she loved. In We
Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal
stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys — girls who have lost
their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known.

In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important
reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of
the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person — often a young person — with hopes and
dreams29

This book of Malala Yousufzai talks about how she and her family was treated in refuse
camp and the language and content, central of idea in the book we are displays her focus
was on how she and her family got treated in refuge camp and changes in her life changes
after that is mentioned under this book.

CONCLUSION:

As the hypothesis that covered under the review is proved or not so yes, it is proved because
the title itself clear the view and topic of the book which is authors autobiography and her
struggle for education so the hypothesis is proved here as the book talk about female
education and it inspired with the journey of education and journey for getting education
and struggle for that inspires to read and fight for our right to get education.
This book was all about the author and it was autobiography of Malala Yousufzai a 14 girl
who stood up her education and how she suffers a lot during her fight for her education and
how due to that fight her life was also in danger Taliban shoot her and after that also how
she continued her work and researcher has reviewed this book content and language of the
book and this book is very well written and uses a simple and communicable language under
this book and the motive of the book which is value to girls education and awareness
regarding education is very well explained but this book only told about life story of the
author and its only focus is on the Malala who is the writer and author of the book this book
is very nice and very well to understand but it focus more author than education.

2. INTRODUCTION

Author begins her story in England in 2013, one year after the day she went to school and
never returned home. Author describes the differences between life in England and Pakistan.
She then recounts the day of her shooting: October 2012. After her typical late start, she
journeys to school by bus; she used to walk, but now takes the bus as a precaution. She
imagines that if she is attacked, it will be at the entrance of her school. Malala takes other
precautions for her safety but doesn’t really believe the Taliban will come after a young girl
like her. She describes the sights and sounds of her journey home. Author explains that her
memory of that day stops near an army checkpoint, then reveals what happened in reality:
two young men stop the school bus, and one gets on. He confirms that the bus belongs to
the Khushal School and wants to know who Malala is. He then shoots three times, hitting
author and two schoolmates. Malala slumps, bleeding onto her friend Moniba, and she is
rushed to the hospital. And under this book author also explains her life story in Pakistan
and how changed because of Taliban and she never had any hard feelings for them after
they attached her and try to kill her.

B. RATIONAL AND SIGNIFICANCE

Reason for selection for this specific book is that this book is an autobiography of a girl who
is just 14 years old when she fought for education rights for female in country like Pakistan
where female cannot step outside their home without any male family member. And how
14-year girl fought for her life and female education and how she can be inspiration to all
those people who in this 21st century also keep thinking that female education is not
necessary. This book will be very useful for young people and specifically for females.

with Taliban and stood up for educational right after shot by Taliban how she survived
and continued her social work and in age of just 17 she won national award for spreading
peace.

autobiography is written by Christina Lamb and Malala Yousafzai. It gives the details of the
life of a girl called Malala, who was shot by the Taliban as a result of her outspoken nature
in support of education. The girl grows up in Pakistan. She speaks passionately about the
need to educate the girl child. However, her beliefs do not augur well with the Taliban. As
she walks home from school, she shot is shot. However, the bullet to the head does not kill
her.

The Taliban are in control of the area where Malala lives. Their leader is respected most
people in the area and receives huge amounts of money. Later, the leader becomes fanatical
and openly influences other people to take on his beliefs.

Malala’s father also openly talks about what he believes. In his view, girls should go to
school and should not be viewed merely as property. Consequently, he is warned that he
might face the Taliban’s wrath.

thinking that female education is not necessary and as Pakistani culture explain under this
