“ A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten darkness, leading out into the expanding universe
―Madeleine L'Engle
Malala was born and raised in Pakistan. Her father founded the local school she attended growing up. From a young age, Malala demonstrated strong character and soon began asking her father why women were being treated so poorly in Pakistan. In response,he told er about Afghanistan , where the Taliban burned school for girls and forced women to wear burkha. His goal was to make her realize that all the the poor treatment of women in Pakistan was actul all not so bad, when compared to the way women are treated in Afghanistan.
The book is a fast read and is written in a very access able way. Mahala uses humour in the book that helps relieve the tension of the situation she is living. As I was reading, I was horrified about what she lived through and impress that she kept going despite of all circumstances. She does a great job of showing th daily life in Pakistan under Taliban rule, pointing out issues and talking about hr fight for women's right.
Although I had heard about Malala before reading the book, I was not familiar with her story. Now that I have read it I believe that her story is one everyone should know and that is is a voice everyone should listen to. Her book should be used in classes around the world. It is extremely powerful, and Malala is someone we can a learn from. Wen reading the book, you easily forget that Malala was just a child when most of these events happened. Most of us will not show one hundredth of her courage in our life time. She used her grief and her tragic past to build a cause and help solve her problems she sees as the most pressing. The fight i still going on and needs our attention, and Malala's book is a power that each and everyone one of us has to make the world a more equal place.
2. THE KITE RUNNER
The story is fast-paced and hardly ever dull, and introduced me to a world – the world of Afghan life – which is strange, fascinating and and yet oddly familiar all at the same time. Hosseini's writing finds a great balance between being clear and yet powerful, and not only is the story itself brilliantly constructed, but the the the book also explores the very art of storytelling. Amir himself becomes a writer, and he reflects on his experiences in the story as though his life itself were a piece of fiction (which of course it is!).

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow. Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human. Malala Yousafzai a Pakistani teenage girl, publicaly spoke up in favour of female education and was shot in the head by the taliban,in an apparent attempt to silence her. She survived. The near fatal attack have her a global voice that she has been using to continue her fight for female education, on a global scale. Her fight earned her a Nobel prize when she was 17; this makes her the youngest Nobel Prize winner of all times. In her mapping book I AM MALALA, she tells a story of bravery, strength, and conviction.

2. THE KITE RUNNER
Khaled Hosseini is an Afghan-born American novelist and physician. After graduating from college, he worked as a doctor in California, A gripping and emotional story of betrayal and redemption, The Kite Runner had me thrilled and moved, both at the same time. It tells the story of Amir and Hassan, the closest of friends, as good as brothers, and also experts in the art of kite flying. The two young boys live in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and this year they are going to try harder than ever to win the local kite-fighting tournament—a popular Afghan pastime, and this is Amir's one hope of winning his father's love. But just like the kites battling in the sky, war comes to Afghanistan, and the country becomes an extremely dangerous place.
The story is fast-paced and hardly ever dull, and introduced me to a world – the world of Afghan life – which is strange, fascinating and and yet oddly familiar all at the same time. Hosseini's writing finds a great balance between being clear and yet powerful, and not only is the story itself brilliantly constructed, but the the the book also explores the very art of storytelling. Amir himself becomes a writer, and he reflects on his experiences in the story as though his life itself were a piece of fiction (which of course it is!).
But I think the best bit about the kite runner is its sense of fate and justice, of good overcoming evil in the end, despite all odds. Without giving away the ending, Amir ends up back in Afghanistan and makes a very different set of sacrifices in order to set things straight. The final chapter of the book is perhaps my favourite, and one that I have found moving even when rereading it. The message behind the very ending could be interpreted differently by different readers, but personally I feel that it offers a small sense of hope for both the future of its characters, and perhaps for war-torn Afghanistan as well.
