Emotional Reaction

“I woke up on 16 October, a week after the shooting. I was thousands of miles away from home care after another CT scan, and fitted between consciousness and sleep until I woke up properly” (275)

It was painful to read this passage, because Malala was shot in the head . This was one of the quotes inside the story that I really felt  emotionally connected to.“I was thousands of miles away from home with a tube in my neck to help me breathe”. This passage was really shocking because Malala remembered all that happened before she was shot. She had described “I was a thousand miles away from home”  this suggests to us that she had to deal with all the suffering in an unknown place away from her friends her teachers and some of her family .When Malala was taken away from her country she had to leave all of her things behind, this was very upsetting for me to read. She was uncertain about the future of her health and concerned about whether she would be able to live a healthy life in the future. In the following quote “And fitted between consciousness and sleep until I woke up properly” illustrates just how ill Malala was and this made me feel much compassion for Malala.
