Who took more dangerous risks, Malala or her father? by Baylee Lewis

Malala’s father took more dangerous risks because he took the chance of losing his most beloved asset. In chapter 12, the text states, “‘The Taliban have already blown up hundreds of schools…’” The text goes on to say that Malala’s father still decided to run and allow girls to go to his school. This evidence shows that Malala’s father allowed Malala to take the deadly risk of going to school under the threat of the Taliban. This evidence demonstrates a risk that Malala took that would likely hurt her family mentally more than it would hurt her mentally, and mental pain lasts longer than physical pain.

Malala’s father took more risk because he left his whole family and could have lost them to help the people know about the taliban and how a war was about to happen. In the text it states, “ My mother and my brothers and I were going to stay with our family in Shangla. But our father said his duty was to go to Peshawar to warn the people about what’s going on.”(98) In other words Malala, her mom, and her brothers were going to stay with their family meanwhile Malala’s dad wanted to go and warn the people about how there was about to a war and people were having to leave Pakistan. This piece of evidence supports my claim because it shows how Malala's father took a big risk trying to save the people by the war. This piece of evidence ties back to my claim because it shows how Malala’s father could have lost his whole family and even his own life helping people know what was going on.

I believe Malala took greater risks than her father simply because she was a girl. When Malala describes her fears on going to school, she writes, "We'd heard stories of people throwing acid in in the faces of girls in Afghanistan" (Ch. 12). In other words, girls were being attacked in Taliban ruled areas for simply trying to receive an education. This shows that Malala walking to school became a dangerous risk. This demonstrates how Malala's risks were greater than those of her father.

Malala Took more dangerous risks because she was a girl speaking out against the Taliban. “I was anxious, as I often was before interviews, but I knew this was an important opportunity to spread our message of peace and education. As soon as they put a microphone in front of me, the words came out—sure and steady, strong and proud. “This is not the Stone Age,” I said. “But it feels like we are going backward. Girls are getting more deprived of our rights.” I spoke about how much I loved school.” (chapter 11)

Malala took a more dangerous risk because she spoke out on the news of how girls’ should have an education on the news that the Taliban can see. “I spoke about how much I loved school. About how important it was to keep learning. “We are Afraid of no one, and we will continue our education. This is our dream.” (Ch. 11) This evidence ties back to my claim by showing that Malala took a more dangerous risk because she spoke out on the news of how girls’ should have an education on the news that the Taliban can see.

Malala took more dangerous risks because she spoke out against the Taliban. To support my claim, "“...no girl, whether big or little, shall go to school. Otherwise, you know what we can do. And the parents and the school principal will be responsible.’ At first, I thought it was just one of his crazy pronouncements. It was the twenty-first century! How could one man stop more than fifty thousand girls from going to school?” (A Schoolgirl’s Diary) In summary this quote means that she thought that he could not say if they had the right to go to school or not and still went. This quote shows that she still went to school even though she was threatened. This quote demonstrates that she still went to school regardless of the threats from the Taliban.

Malala took a more dangerous risk because she spoke out against the Taliban. In the text it says,“My father wanted me to continue to improve my English. So he encouraged me to watch a DVD that one of the journalists in Islamabad had given me: a TV program called Ugly Betty”(Chapter 15). As you can see, this was a risk because the Taliban banned people from having TVs, CDs, and DVDs. In my own words Malala dad gave her the DVD and she loves it but it is illegal. I analyzed that Malala doesn't say no to her dad even though it is illegal. I can tie-back by saying that Malala loves the show and doesn't care if the Taliban bans TVs, CDs, and DVDs she will still try to learn more English. In conclusion, Malala wants to expand her education watches a DVD and loves it but even though it is illegal. (Chapter 15).

Mr. Lewis:

Malala took more dangerous risks because she is a girl. Girls are inferior according the taliban so speaking out would cause more risk. It would be less risky for her dad, a man, to speak out since they allow men to have some rights.

Malala was nervous to speak out because she could get killed.This quote shows, how Malala took risks. Malala was brave enough to speak out.

I think Malala took more risk than her father because, she spoke out to the government at only 12 years old and she went to school even though the Taliban banned it for women. and that all women had to cover their bodies. but Malala did not follow and the risk of that is breaking the law could have gotten her killed and when a lot of places were getting blown up malala and her family still tried to go places even though they were getting destroyed the places Malala went was school... and in page (92) it states that :I'm not afraid of anyone I will get my education even if I have to sit on the floor to continue it: this shows that Malala will do anything to keep her education for her/women and the Taliban is stopping her from doing that that is why she took the risk of speaking out against the Taliban

Malala took more dangerous risks because she was a girl speaking out against a population of people who put down women and deprived them of rights and education. In the text it states, “As soon as they put a microphone in front of me, the words came out- sure and steady, strong and proud. This is not the stone age, I said but it feels like we are going backward. Girls are getting more deprived of our rights, I spoke about how much I loved school. About how important it was to keep learning. We are afraid of no one, and we will continue our education. This is our dream. And i knew that instant that it wasn't me, Malala, speaking; my voice was the voice of so many others who wanted to speak but couldn’t.”(71) this helps us understand how she truly felt, even though she knew she could get hurt or killed for speaking out for her rights and education she wanted, along with other young girls in Pakistan.

Malala's father took greater risk because he went to go warn people about the Taliban and left his family all alone. In the text it says " “As the schools bombing continued he spoke out against them; he even went to the site of one school bombing while it was still a smoldering wreck.” ch 11. This is showing us that he was able to take risk for his family and friends against the Taliban. Also malala's father was going to peshawar to warn people about Taliban and he left his whole family in pakistan by there self. This piece of evidence is showing us that he wanted to take risk so that he could save other peoples life and so they are not like the people in Pakistan life.

Malala took more dangerous risks because she spoke out against the taliban at only a small age.

2025-02-18 20:14:21 UTC

Malala took greater risks than her father because she went and she spoke out against the Taliban on the news about how girls should be able to get an education risking having bad consequences.

2025-02-18 20:14:32 UTC

Malala took more dangerous risk because she posted videos online going speaking out against the taliban/spoke for rights and education for girls. The text states “Maybe that girl in the mirror, that girl who imagined speaking to the world, was the Malala I would become. So throughout 2008, as our Swat was being attacked, I didn’t stay silent. I spoke to local and national TV channels, radio, and newspapers—I spoke out to

anyone who would listen.

her father took greater risks because her made his school on to girls and spoke against the taliban." Her father separated from his family to go peshawar and warn the world about the Taliban."Her father separated from his family to go peshawar and warn the world about the Taliban"

I think Malala took more dangerous risk because she could have gotten killed on multiple occasions. I know this because In the text it says “Somehow we made it to the hotel in time, though. It was a conference of twenty social activists from war-stricken tribal areas across Pakistan”(ch 16). In other words, Malala went somewhere to speak to an ambassador. This evidence supports my claim because it shows that when Malala was there or going there the Taliban could have assassinated her when they knew where she was in the building. This evidence ties back to my claim because it shows that wen malala was going to the hotel she was vulnerable to an assassination.
I also know this because in the text it says "In the text it says “We didn't have one. When we got to the town of mardan, we went by ourselves, taking the flying couch as far as it would go. By the end of our journey, we were on foot”(ch 16). In other words Malala's family did not have a car so they took a flying couch but by the end of their journey they went on foot. This evidence supports my claim because it shows that when Malala had to walk she was open for an attack or an assassination attempt. This evidence ties back to my claim because it shows that when Malala was walking the Taliban could have attacked and killed Malala.
