Central Idea of the Text:
When women are educated, they can have the power to change the world.

Synopsis of the Memoir and Visual:
I Am Malala is about a young Pakistani girl who has to deal with the hardships of growing up in a society where women have no rights. She has a strong love for education and will do anything to bring equality into the schools. Malala is very smart and quite the public speaker. As the Taliban took over her village, she and her family were brave and stood up for their beliefs. Shown below is the Yousafzai family and the book cover of I am Malala.

Connecting Memoir to Outside Research Including Links to Outside Articles:
This memoir illustrates the everlasting war and inequality in the middle east. Malala though, decides she wants to make a difference and stand up to the horrible Taliban that was trying (and is still trying) to create a Holocaust. After Malala’s incredible recovery from the shooting, women have gained more strength to also stand up for their personal beliefs. In the link below, the article describes how women now are making a change in the middle east.
Malala continues to speak and teach about how women should be equal all over the world. She has even won the Nobel Peace Prize and is the youngest to ever receive one. For more information about Malala being the youngest to get the Nobel Peace Prize, click the link below.

Malala continues to impact many people all throughout the world, specifically young women. She believes that women can change the world. Throughout this book, she has proven that even though challenges are inevitable, absolutely anything is able to be accomplished through hard work and constant determination.
