Every girl in Pakistan wore one.  Some girls schools made the children wear a burqa which covered them completely. 
 Although for their culture I realize it might be a big deal but, now I realize that you have to want to wear the headscarf, because the only reason they wear them in so that nobody but their family can see what they really look like. If shes not concerned about that why would she?]]> 2017-11-03 11:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203236920 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237085 Before, I thought Malala was a lot older than eleven because of the kind of school material that she said her class was covering.
Now I think that the subjects are appropriate for her age because of where they are.]]> 2017-11-03 11:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237085 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237367 On page 34 it says " "Our school is better than yours," he said as if that explained things.  I did not agree one bit.  "My school is the better one," I said." This makes me think that Malala takes pride in her school and that she wants to defend it.  I also shows me that Malala likes her education because she was standing up for her school and that is where she is educated. ]]> 2017-11-03 11:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237367 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237532 on page 33 it says that women cant go to school this made me think  ... why can´t girls go to school]]> 2017-11-03 11:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203237532 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203238801 On page 41 the book says: "Soon Fazlullah's attacks became personal." This made me think that The Taliban was about to have a serious/major impact on Malala's life later on (or soon) in the story.]]> 2017-11-03 11:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203238801 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203240556 Before I thought that the girls in Pakistan had to wear headscarves when they were little (5 years), but that was not the case when I was introduced to the book. In the book it says that when the girls turn thirteen, they have to wear headscarves. Why? I think that they would just do that to be respectful to the law, but is it really crucial to wear the scarves? Will something bad happen if they (the girls) don't? I just can't seem to grasp the idea that they HAVE to hide their faces from the other people. Why do they HAVE to wear the scarves in general?!]]> 2017-11-03 12:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203240556 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241525 On page 34 it says "One day I was playing with the neighborhood children in the alley, and when choosing up sides for a game of cricket, one of the boys said he didn't want me on his team. 'Our school is better than yours.' he said as if that explained things. I didn't agree one bit. 'My school is the better one.' 'Your school is bad.' he insisted. 'It is not straight on the path of Islam.'" This made me think that if I was in that situation I would have lost it. Not wanting someone on your team just because of what school they go to. Talk about discrimination. ]]> 2017-11-03 12:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241525 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241576 I believe that malala wants to stand up for her school and really cares about it because  one day she went to  go play in  the alley  with the neighborhood children. One of the boys was choosing teams fro a game of criket  ball and  he said ¨Our school is better than yours¨
so malala said ¨our school is the better one.¨]]> 2017-11-03 12:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241576 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241781 On page 17 it says, ¨I´d seen wives required to walk a few paces behind their husbands.  I´d seen women forced to lower their gaze when they encountered a man.  And I´d seen the older girls who´d been our playmates disappear behind veils as soon as they became teenagers.¨
This made me think about why women are forced religiously to dress a certain way, do certain things ect. Shouldn´t that be about not what you wear, but more about what you do?]]> 2017-11-03 12:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203241781 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203242313 I believe that Malala is very courageous for what she has done to make her mark in the world, because as some people may know, she had gotten hit by The Taliban. Despite her past, she kept fighting for what she believed in. I thank Malala for doing what's right, and showing us that we can make big changes as well!]]> 2017-11-03 12:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203242313 vhopkins2 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203258429 Something that is true in the story and the world is when malala got shot on the school bus and when they said that two people went on the bus. This can happen in real life. Kinda like the attack at that one school. This reminds me of that because people killed innocent children and those two people shot malala which is innocent]]> 2017-11-03 12:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203258429 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203262466 I believe that Malala is brave and wants to make a change int the world, and give all women the smae rights and chances that men have. This is because of the actions she does to make a difference, such as going to school even when the radio said it was forbidden. Her home town is horrible in the state of men and women having equal rights, so thats probaley why she does so much.]]> 2017-11-03 13:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203262466 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203265202 Before I thought that people in Pakistan would accept each other no matter what school they went to, our who their parents were, our how much money their family had. Now I realize that the children and adults there are just as pick and discriminating as the people here. That just shows how mean people can be. It's sad. ]]> 2017-11-03 13:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203265202 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203270122 The story is non-fiction everything in that story is real. And also what is true in the world is that there are cruel people that will hurt others for ridiculous reasons.]]> 2017-11-03 13:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203270122 mandersen41 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288106 Before I thought that Malala's personality was going to be decribed by her culture. But as the book went on and she started to describe herself, I realized that she likes the same kind of games and foods as I think most of us reading do. Also I thought her personality was going to be based by her culture when she started talking about the wearing the scarf, or the burqa, over her face. Thats when I thought tht Malala was just going to hide in the shadows like most other girls in her town. But then when she decides that she doesn't want to wear a burqa, it kind of shows you a little bit of the personality I thought she was going to have, where she stands up against problems that she thinks are not right. ]]> 2017-11-03 13:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288106 jgottshall https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288130 Before I thought that Radio Mullah was just a radio Stations that keeps people informed or knowing about the world, Now I think that Radio Mullah is slowly destroying Pakistan because of the Taliban are taking over and they are ripping people away from society, killing them, smashing their Tv's DVDS, CDs, any music or electronics. They are also giving false advertisements about god and their religions, and people believe them because the dont have an education or know much about any religion but their own. ]]> 2017-11-03 13:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288130 wparsells https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288384 Before I thought that Malala´s country, Pakistan was almost like America and peaceful, but now I think that it really isn´t and since the Taliban ¨invaded¨ Pakistan everything is different for Malala and her beloved Pakistani friends and family.]]> 2017-11-03 13:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203288384 jgottshall https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203292258 I believe that girls have a right to go to school, be able to free their skin, and go outside alone because its just unfair for people to just rule out women because they are smaller and are not as buff as men. If you think about it... women do a lot more work than men. They clean, wash, care for children, make food, and they also help repopulate. ]]> 2017-11-03 14:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203292258 wparsells https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203293264 I believe that Maulana Fazlullah A.K. A, The Radio Mullah. ( A picture) was once a good man because before he went full terrorist he was broadcasting about good things even if he made it sound terrifying, like, ¨Please stop smoking and pray daily otherwise God will punish us for doing these things.¨]]> 2017-11-03 14:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203293264 jgottshall https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203296023 On page 43 it says "He was only a voice  on the radio then. What we didn't know was the he would go much further in his campaign against girls' schools in the days ahead". This made me think that Mullah was gonna do everything he can to make Malala and her people miserable by ruining what was used to be a small peaceful town. ]]> 2017-11-03 14:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203296023 msmith316 https://padlet.com/spragle/zkad2zujbzeu/wish/203298961 On pages 14 and 15 it says that Safina stole Malala's phone that her dad gave her.  This made me think, why would Malala still want to be her friend?
