I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb, sounded like a very interesting book. The story behind this book is what interested me. It is about a topic that most people know little about and yet needs to be discussed and studied more.. The topic is primarily about the differences in educational opportunities offered to males and females in Pakistan and other areas worldwide. Malala Yousafzai was not ashamed to be one of the only girls attending school in Pakistan. Education in Pakistan is a lot different than it is in the US. Here anyone can go to school but in Pakistan education was a rare privilege offered to females. In the beginning of this book Malala goes into a lot of detail of about her parents life and journey. She talks about her parents schooling, and their lives growing up. Then she goes into more detail about her own life and describes some major events that occurred in her life. One of them is that she was in a few horrifying and frightening storms which devastated her community in many different ways. Buildings were destroyed and houses had to be completely abandoned. Malala’s family thrived in spite of being poor, underprivileged, and having very desperate living conditions. They lived in a small one room house. Her family consisted of herself, two brothers and her mom and dad. Although both of her parents had jobs, they made very little money, barely enough to properly feed and care for the family.You will have to read this exciting book to find out about what else happens. This book is divided into five parts and contains twenty four chapters. Malala doesn't talk about her life before, during, or after her shooting until around chapter twenty. She got shot because she had been determined to go to school no matter what the cost. The day of the shooting was when her courage was put to the test the most. If I were to have been the one writing this book I would have included a lot more information about her life after the shooting and how the shooting affected the lives of many others around the world. Her shooting also affected the education of many girls internationally. I would recommend this book to people that like to learn as they are reading. This book is very factual and gives a lot of information about Pakistan and the education and life of the people who live in Pakistan.
