“I am Malala” is a book wrote by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb that explores how Malala raised up education, religion, courage, and women’s right. The story of the book depicts Malala’s memory. When Malala was still a teenager, Malala knows how education matters to her. Therefore, when the Taliban arrived in her hometown and started burn things and ban girls from going to school, Malala spoke up against them. But she got shot by the Taliban on Thursday morning when she went to school by school bus. Lucky, Malala was alive and she and her father were able to provide a lot of force to support education.

Two themes of this book are women’s rights and education.

The first quote comes from page 265 “one child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world”. The second quote comes from page 263 “5.1 million children don’t even go to primary school even though in our constitution it says every child has that right.” Part of the story is that Malala’s father was encouraging her to attend school and taught her to begin on her writing. Those 2 quotes show how education is important to people. We need to be thankful for our life today. I believe that one of the motivations that let Malala have the courage to spoke up against the system is because of her father’s supports. This has finally led to Malala spoke up for women’s rights, education.

Finally, I highly recommend this book to people who like to read inspirational books. By far for me “I Am Malala ” is the most inspirational book I’ve read. It was so interesting to know what happens to her and her’s country. Moreover, It describes some sad problems that are still happening today. It is happening in the world that many children didn’t have their right to education, courage, religion, and women’s right. This book also mentioned that we need to focus on the “world problem” and we need to fix it to make our “family” become better.

All in all, two things I learned from this unit are: I can have a deeper understanding of non-fiction books and I really enjoy teamwork, and we can have a conversation about the book. The most interesting part was the debate section! it really practiced our way of thinking and our presentation skill.
