This news is from a Pakistan city called Mingora, the main reason of the attack made to her was because she made a campaign explaning the situation they were living after the Talibian militants took control of the valley in which she lives in. 

This article shows a lot of what I can call injustice to a little innocent girl who the only thing she did was express the her feelings towards a life problem that maybe many people didn’t actually know the reality. The message this article most gave me was that people that do things wrong and suddenly are ¨discovered¨ have to take extreme things in this case hurting a girl for life because of talking out, everyone disserves the freedom of expressing themselves. Also the way that she was attacked was something that someone really desperate and crazy has to do.. at a bus where there are more kids, those other kids may get traumatized or so and Malala hurt for life just for saying what she felt like.. Amazing..

In the second article we could read and get to know some of the traditions and ways that people in those faraway places from us are and more about their culture. By some of the letters that Malala did and we were able to read we can see how they are all like depending on the Taliban and afraid from them.  At first she starts talking about like her daily routine and what she does but then almost when it was winter break the Taliban demanded education to stop just like she predicted. She was actually like the first person to stand up for what she thought was right and says what she needed to say.  After she starts getting interviewed by several medias. Malala thanks to a miracle is not dead and recovering from the shots she received, so I think we all can see that she was not meant to go yet and is still fighting for what she wants including winning several peace awards and is doing alot to help others.

This 2 articles impacted me to be honest, a girl who just said what was happening got shot and almost died. This is something that can’t happen again, nowhere, never. I hope that Malala gets totally cured and can move on with her life being a great example to admire up to. 

Persepolis

The Veil:

This first chapter was the intruduction of the characters and they started to tell us that they were starting some kinds of revolutions and some things that are being obligated to wear that is the veil.
After reading chapter number 1 I connected it to the sterotype we have about indian or arab women who wear veil´s, if someone would tell me to wear a veil I would not accept it in a right way just as the girl, but thisI connect to when my mother tells me that for everyday live I can´t wear Crocs that are like my live and suddenly tell me that i need to wear opend shows that I dont like and don´t feel good with. that is what i think that she felt. 

Persepolis: 

This chapter talked abput how the girl wants to talk to her grandma abput well like her live and what happend to the little girls grandpa.  This chapter before I tell you to what I can connect I really think that it made me clear up ideas that I had and made me understand, those flashbacks explain really good the setting of ancient times. I connect this ALOT to when my grandfather talks to me about what he´s life was, with all the details what he did, the diffrence between what we live in now, the ways money worked everything. I ask him alot of those kinds of questions becuase it´s always good to know what life was like. Not only that my grandpa tells us all this storiees but also that we sit up in the table my cousins, brothers and me just listening. 

The Sheep:

This chapter is when you can see that the girl and anoosh creat a relationship not only familiar becuase well hes her uncle but also because they actually became friends. It was really impacting for the girl that one night she came home and suddenly he wasnt there. this was really impacting to the girl once she figured put that Anosh was not actually back home but he was arestend and sent to jail, something really good was that she could actually go and visit him in jail which i think was a very important gesture from him before he was executed. I think the fact that he was killed created a hole in the girls heart. This I can connect to the movie Taken and Taken 2, when Brayn kills the guys who had kidnapped his daughter the dad of one of the bad guys that he killed in taken 2 wanted revenge because he felt the total fear against brayn of killing a beloved friend/family. 

The Passport:

The internal war started to become everyday a bigger problem, uncle Taher is a grown up that is really conserned like for young people that can get killed, his son is going to be send away and he is realy nervous for that.. I was wondering if the had any personal experience or something that made him so afraid of the situation of people being killed? why did suddenly they started like beliving of telling so much things about god (the man in the medical center)? something that really impacted me that we still see now is that the way money can like buy many things. 

The Dowry:This ending chapter was kind of unexpected but at the same time really good. She was expelled from school after hitting the principal, then her parents came to the idea that the best thing that should happen to her is eventually leave because it would be saftier for her and for her future. I founded really impacting and wierd the fact that to be able to execute a virgin girl they had to violate her and then kill her, thatt was really wierd and like hard. I think that the fact that they decided to send her to europe at that early age seems to me that first they trust her alot. but a quick question why did she had in her head the fact that she was going to be forgotten? what made her feel that way? and so she finally left..  To end I would like to accept that someparts of the book like the begining and when taher appears are parts that are wierd but at the end everything endsup like maching and making sence to the point that this book becomes good and with also a historical context that we can realte to what we had learn before in live regrard the culture and many more.
