Title Significance

The title of the book “I am Malala” has a significant meaning because it has a literal and figurative connotation. The words “I am” imply that Malala realizes that as a human being, she has the right to be acknowledged as a citizen of her community with dignity and respect. The title also implies that Malala is confident being a young woman in a culture with no regard or respect for the civil rights of women and children.

The title is as it states. It indicates that the reader will get to know Malala’s life’s story in a most personal manner. Malala has stated that everything in the world has changed but she hasn’t. She is not hiding from anyone and not even the Taliban. This gives the title more significance as Malala is trying to suggest to her audience that she is a strong young woman and she won’t bow down to anyone  to sacrifice what is right and what she believes in.  Malala has demonstated in her memoir that she is a strong young woman and is a role model to all young women.
