I am Malala (The Girl who stood up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban) by Ava Kusek https://padlet.com/ava_kusek/ygubv8bdn76w Independent Reading Project: Ava Kusek en-us 2018-10-19 12:23:11 UTC 2023-03-05 01:07:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Templeball.png Summary ava_kusek https://padlet.com/ava_kusek/ygubv8bdn76w/wish/294781197 The book begins on October 9, 2012, as Malala Yousafzai, a teenage girl, makes her way to school by bus. On her ride to school, Malala thinks about how her hometown of Mingora, Pakistan has changed in the last decade, and how the Taliban (a radical Islamist group) continue to pose a threat to advocates of education and women’s rights. Suddenly, the bus stops, and a man climbs onboard. He demands to know who Malala is. Malala says nothing, but her identity is obvious: she’s not wearing her burqa(female veil). The man raises a gun and shoots Malala in the head.

In the bazaar you could buy posters of him on a white horse and boxes of sweets with his picture on them. These clerics said 9/11 was revenge on the Americans for what they had been doing to other people round the world, but they ignored the fact that the people in the World Trade Center were innocent and had nothing to do with American policy and that the Holy Quran clearly says it is wrong to kill. Our people see conspiracies behind everything, and many argued that the attack was actually carried out by Jews as an excuse for America to launch a war on the Muslim world...My father said this was rubbish."]]> 2018-10-21 18:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ava_kusek/ygubv8bdn76w/wish/295215082
