Final
reflection
After reading
the book” I am Malala”, I realize how
much I take for granted in life. I’ve never
really thought about all the freedoms that I have as a result on living in the
United States of America. Basic freedom as the ability to speak one’s mind
without having to worry about being killed is not something that young people
have to worry about in this country.
I am fortunate to have a happy and healthy life
and get a good education. Students in this country complain about having to go
to school when there are children in many parts of the world who wish they had
an opportunity to learn.
I don’t have
to be spied on every minute to see if I am breaking a law and I cannot imagine
not being able to read a book. I have so
much empathy for Malala’s experience. After reading the memoir I felt very
connected to Malala. I felt like we have
been friends for a long time and we knew each other very well. Malala's style
of writing made me very emotional yet very appreciative for my life. My first
reaction when I saw the book was that I wouldn’t like it and that it wouldn’t
pull me in, but after reading it that really changed my mind. The style of the book fit exactly to what I like
reading. My final impression compares to my initial one because I had thought the
book would talk about Malala’s experiences with her friends and her family.
This is a very empowering book, especially for someone your age, as Malala has done so much with so little so quickly. I hope it inspires you.
