Hey again! So this week the blog post will be about the main problem in my novel. I will discuss all the obstacles and all the different hard problem that they faced.
The main character, Malala is just a child who is fighting for women's freedoms and for girl's education. There aren't so many problems that Malala has faced so far but one big problem that was told in the book was of her getting shot by the Taliban. She got shot because of her thinking that education was important for girls and the Taliban actually took over with their leader, Maulana Fazlullah who was first very liked by all women and others but then hates and afraid of because of his mean ways of "following the Islamic rules and doing what the Holy Quran or Sharia says". The Sharia was the religion that Fazlullah wanted everyone to follow which had rules like women should cover their heads and never go outside and not receive education but Fazlullah has lost his purpose of following a religion and just caused terror and killed too many. He had many suicide bombers and had bombed many buildings, schools and government buildings. The Taliban was slowly starting to take over Pakistan which of course scared Malala.
Malala's "idol", a woman named Benazir Bhutto was one who stood up for woman's rights and girl's education. Benazir was unfortunately shot by the Taliban, and Malala said she felt terrible and her whole family cried. They thought that there was no more hope, but there was. 'If Benazir could stand up for women rights, I can too' Malala thought to herself. From that moment Malala knew that she just wants to make the world a better place for everyone, especially women who are treated inequality. Malala soon went to radio stations, like BBC and her father too was interested in ending this, he also owned a school and cared for these children to get education. Malala was always interested in politics and things like this but an obstacle that was not worrying her that much but was possible is that she could draw too much attention and the Taliban would find her and take her down which they did do.
Ziauddin (her father) wasn't afraid of anything and that did cause some trouble for her and his family. He also a main character in this book so some obstacles he went through so far is the big chance that his school will be bombed and destroyed, he protests against Taliban and also is putting his family into trouble although all he is trying to do is help. Ziauddin slept at a friend's house just in case the Taliban come to his house were his kids might see him die. Even Malala's mom thought of hiding a knife under her pillow and she put a ladder so that Ziaddin can climb up without being seen. So this was kind of a matter of life or death.
I am really enjoying this book, it is very interesting and inspiring. The book includes many things I didn't know about like so much inequality in Pakistan and so many other countries. It shows the big difference between my life and theirs.
