“I am Malala”, an autobiography of Malala Yousafzai herself, retells the life of Malala when she lived in Pakistan. As a young girl, Malala values her education, so when the Taliban arrived in her homeland and started to enforce that girls should not go to school, Malala speaks up. She wrote a secret diary with a pen name, and spoke in interviews, promoting the right that girls deserve an education. However, she got shot by the Taliban and was treated in Birmingham, England, for her actions. A theme of this book is that one should stand up for themselves and others when they are oppressed

            There are two reasons why people should read this book. Firstly, this book teaches those who are unhindered by other people to get an education that they should be thankful for what they have and appreciate it. Secondly, Malala is a source of inspiration, being the youngest Nobel Prize winner, to other people showing that society can accomplish things peacefully .

Something I learned while reading literary nonfiction is that it can be beneficial to have another person read the same book as me. We both could have different ideas on how the context in the book can be perceived. The partner(s) could also be an excellent debate assistant in helping me form a better argument.
