  1. Question: Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?
    Malala says she will miss things such as her trophies, I would also miss my trophies. "I don't care much about the other things in my room, but I do worry about my school trophies on my bookcase"(Yousafzai 2). Malala misses her trophies because they remind her of her accomplishments. I would miss my trophies and plaques because they are a reminder of the great things I have done. They make me feel good about myself. I think that Malala feels the same.

  3. What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala’s life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself? Between me and Malala's life there is not many similarities, but some can be found. Malala is really fond of her family especially her younger brothers. In the story it states"Atal, the little clown of the family." I think this quote is important because it shows how she loves her little brothers humor. I can relate because I am also really close and fond of my family members. Another similarity is that Malala really loves school. Although there may be times where school is harder to like, I really do enjoy coming here and learning. These are the thinks that make me and Malala Yousafzai alike

  4. Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?
    -If I had to leave all my belongings in my room and never return I would probably miss my bed and my arcade game. My bed is were I spend most of my time, literally. I would also be upset if I had to lose my arcade game because my dad made it for me as a present and it is worth quite a bit of money. There are a bunch of different things I would feel lost or upset if I could not have them anymore, each item has a memory.

  5. Question: What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala’s life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself?
    My life and Malala's have some similarities and differences. "I am in my new room"(Yousafzai 2). Malala has moved from her home. I have also moved from my home. She is home sick and misses everything about her home. The environment, the people, and what goes on. I feel the same as Malala and miss my home deeply. We are different because of the reasons for our move. Malala moved because of danger, but I moved because my mother was homesick. Malala and I have some similarities in our lives.

  6. What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England? I can infer that Malala's life was pretty rough back in Pakistan. But she really enjoyed her small family home where she could here everything. As it says in the book "I smell rice cooking as my mother works in the kitchen. I hear my brothers fighting over the remote." (Yousafzai 1) This shows that she really does enjoy the sounds to keep her busy.

  7. What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala’s life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself?
    - Malala and I do not have very many similarities but we both love our families and care about the well being of others. Malala is a very strong young woman and does not crack under pressure. She will do whatever she thinks is right and not give up until her voice is heard. I on the other hand do not stand out in a crowd, I do not strongly speak about my opinion to others. sometimes I even agree to the opinion that I do not agree with.

  8. The relationship between Malala and her father is one that shows how much they love each other. On pages two and three, her father asks how school was, because he values her opinion, and he wants to make sure that his daughter is still there. She used to answer jokingly, and with a smile, but now she answers truthfully, because she knows that her father is asking to make sure that she answers, and has not been caught by the Taliban.

    2. I agree with you that the relationship between Malala and her father show their love for each other. I feel that their relationship also shows their connections with each other. Malala and her father share the same values. They share the same feelings and beliefs about women's rights for education. Her father founded the school that Malala went to in Pakistan, and he also spoke out about the same topics on rights for girls education as Malala.

    3. I feel like you made a great point when you said Malala's father values her opinion. Her father wants to make sure his daughter is safe, and I feel like he doesn't know what way the terrible threats against her are going to go. His daughter is very brave, and fights for her rights, and her father wants to make sure she gets those opportunities he feels she deserves.

  9. What literary techniques do the authors use to heighten the opening of the book?

    The authors use foreshadowing when Malala is talking about how she had a bad feeling for a few days before she was shot.

    What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?

    You can infer that life in Pakistan is very different. It is a poorer place, and things are very basic. (Like furniture and homes) I think Malala liked living in Pakistan more because she describes it with a lot of love, but then she describes England as a cold place, which shows to me that she doesn't like it very much.

    1. Adding on the when you said she loved her home, I think that it is weird that she would love a place that was, in a way, horrible. However, I also understand that Swat Valley is her home and that it is the place she grew up and she can love a place that was so hard to live in.

    2. In your second answer I liked how you pointed out how Pakistan is more simple than England. I think this shows that not all countries can live as privileged as other countries.

    3. In the first question, you made a great point discussing how Malala had a bad feeling those few days before she was shot. In the second question, I like how you kind of put yourself in Malala's shoes. You inferred that she liked living in Pakistan more than England, then connected it back to the text. I also agree with you that she liked living in Pakistan, because it was her home and she felt comfortable there, even though terrible situations were occurring.

  10. What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England? I infer that life in Pakistan is hard. I feel that Malala dealt with many hardships in Pakistan. She attended a school that her father ran and believed that his school could be better. Many people in Pakistan believe that women should not have the right of education. Pakistan was an unfair and poor place, but it was Malala's home she loves it and misses it. In Birmingham, England she has a privilege to be able to go to school without anyone criticizing her for it. There is running water and many other nice things what Pakistan didn't have. Birmingham doesn't feel like home to Malala, it is quiet. In Pakistan you can hear so much noise outside. Malala isn't quite use to Birmingham yet.

  11. Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave? I would miss many objects in my room because each item possesses a memory in my life. I would mostly miss the pictures I have from when I was younger and of my family. Those pictures are very special to me because they have special memories of my life that I can look at. I would also miss my stuffed bear that I got from my aunt before I was born. I still have it and I have a picture of me as a baby with that bear. I would miss other items too because a lot of those objects are very important to me.

    1. I always forget about pictures, because all we do now is take pictures on our phones and keep them there, but Malala and her family do not have things like phones or cameras, to do so on. Pictures are a very meaningful thing and hold great memories. I loved that you gave a specific example of a picture that has a lot of importance to you!

  12. What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala’s life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself?
    Malala and I are very similar. "My bed is unmade, my fluffy blanket in a heap, because I've rushed out for school, late for an exam" (Yousafzai 1). My room is always messy and I feel like I am always running late. A difference is that Malala eats breakfast in the morning at the kitchen table. I always eat a granola bar or a poptart as I'm walking into the school because I am always late.

    1. I like how you wrote that Malala sat down and ate breakfast while you just grab something quick, like a poptart. I got to thinking that she probably didn't have the little conveniences like that, so they had to get up and actually prepare for each meal. I realized how much we take the small things for granted compared to other less privileged countries.

  13. Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?
    If I had to leave things that are important to me at home I would be devastated. I would miss all of my pictures. Pictures cover my wall of friends and I, mostly cheerleading pictures. Another thing I would miss is all of my cheerleading items. Shoes, jackets, bows, pictures, etc. These things are memories of an amazing thing I get to be a part of. I love my pictures and my cheerleading things. I would be so upset if I had to leave these things.

    If I had to leave I would miss many things from my room. I would miss my photos with family and friends, and the memorial for my Grandpa and Owen. These things all hold memories for me and remind me of the people of most importance in my life. For Malala says "I do worry about the school trophies on my bookcase"(Yousafzai 2). If I were taken away from these things permanently I would also worry about them and what would come of them.

    The relationship between Malala and her father is a very strong bond that they share. They love each other very much and her father is always looking out for her, and she trusts him very much. "How was the school running today?"(Yousafzai 2) This is his way of wanting to know how everything is going and he cares about how she is doing in school.

  18. What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?
    Malala says "No children laughing and yelling. No women downstairs chopping vegetables and gossiping with my mother. No men smoking cigarettes and debating politics"(3). This shows that life in Pakistan was not quite but it was full of noise. Not the kind of noise you get annoyed with but the kind you sit back and enjoy. Where kids are laughing and adults sharing their adult conversations, everyone together and happy. I imagine her life was living in a close community where everyone talked and spent time together. Living in Birmingham however seems to be a secluded life for Malala and her family.

    1. When I read that text from the book, I didn't think of how she probably lived in a close community. I do agree with what you noticed from the text though. Now that I think of it, she probably did live in a close community. The fact that there was noise all around from the kids playing and the adults conversing, was a great statement to support your inference.

    -If I were forced to leave home I would miss a lot from my room. I would miss my awards, my pictures, I would miss everything. The objects in my room describe me, they are my memories. I would especially miss my singing and academic awards because they are the accomplishments that I am the most proud of. I would also miss my clothing because I love everything I have.

  20. •Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?
    -Just like Malala, there are things that I would miss from my room if I were to leave my home too. "I don't care much about the other things in my room, but I do worry about the school trophies on my bookcase."(Yousafzai 2). These are the things Malala states she cares/misses most from her room back home. I don't have much trophies, but I do have a few, and from those few I would also care/miss them. Just like Malala, my trophies remind me of who I am, and who I can be. For example, I have academic trophies that remind me that I can accomplish having good grades that will hopefully lead me to a successful future. My few trophies I have would be something important that I would miss from my home too, if I were to move away like Malala had to do.

  21. What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala's life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself?


    Some startling similarities between Malala's life, and mine are we both live in sturdy homes with our families. Malala stated, “It is in a sturdy brick house in a damp and chilly place called Birmingham, England.” Also, Malala and I stay up late into the night studying for tests, trying to prepare ourselves for the future. She also said, “I was fifteen, in grade nine, and I'd stayed up far too late the night before, studying for an exam.” Malala has many close friends, but only has one who she can tell everything to. In my life, I also find myself telling just one person, or two what is going on in my life. Malala also noted, “I had many friends, but she was the friend of my heart, the one whom I shared everything.” Some differences between Malala’s life, and myself are that I have not had to go through the many struggles in life like she has. On page 3 of her novel she states, “Because it was not so long ago that I was nearly killed.” I am not used to the different hardships that she had to face just a couple years ago and some still today. Malala fights for girls’ to have an education, she speaks her mind, which I sometimes have a hard time to do. “He was complaining about all the attention I’d received for speaking out about girls getting the same education as boys, and my father teased him a little at the breakfast table.” I feel like Malala and I do have similarities, but I know that I will never have enough courage to speak my mind, like she is today.

    If I had to leave my home, I think I would miss all of the pictures and quotes I have hanging up on my walls. One of the quotes that I have that I look at everyday is, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” I find this quote inspiring because it says you should follow your heart, and live everyday to the fullest. Malala has to fight for her rights, and work for everything. In our world today, I feel like many children get handed things that they do not deserve.

    -Malala and I have a few similarities. Malala and I are both very passionate about schooling and we are both really close to our families. In her book it says that Malala prayed to god that she would get the highest grade in her class on the test. '"If it is your will, may I please come in first?"' (Yousafzai 4). I can relate to this because I always want to get the highest grade on quizzes and tests, or just in general in my classes. We are different because I can freely go to school without having to hide. Also, in America I have the right to say anything I feel without being threatened.

  24. •What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?
    -Malala's life in Pakistan must have been really different, compared to her new life in Birmingham, England. "Here there is water running from every tap, hot or cold as you like. No need to carry cans of gas from the market to heat the water"(Yousafzai 3). In Pakistan Malala did not have this privelege of running water from every tap, as she states she had to carry cans of gas to her home to heat the water. Malala most likely did not have a home as big and nice in Pakistan, as she does in Birmingham, England. "Here there are large rooms with shiny wood floors, filled with large furniture and a large, large TV."(3) Malala finds the rooms in her new home large, and everything else in her home. These are some things I can infer about her life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England.

  25. What are some startling similarities and differences between Malala's life and your own? What parallels can you draw between her and yourself?:

    We are so similar – yet different. We wake up every day the same way, like a "normal" teenager, but she can barley go to school, without fighting for it, and it is so easy for me to go to school. We both love school and love our friends too. Malala almost couldn't go to school as a girl in Pakistan – how unfair, oh how lucky we are to live in a place like this.

    What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?:

    From reading the prologue, I got that life in Pakistan is extremely hard. You live so close to your neighbor, you can hear them through the wall. Girls also have to fight to go to school. I also inferred that people in Pakistan don't have running water, that is easily able to be warmed because when she is talking about living in England now she says, "Here there is water running from every tap, hot or cold as you like. No need to carry cans of gas from the market to heat the water" (Yousafzai 3). All of this showed me how difficult it was to live in Pakistan, and how much we take for granted here.

A few similarities between Malala and I are that we both care about our families very much. I have a large family and they are all so important to me. Also Malala and I both care about getting an education. I believe that going to school and learning will help you get farther in life. An education brings more opportunities into our lives. Although we may not like school very much sometimes, I believe that we all know that we need to be here and do our best.

  27. Question: Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave? If I were to ever have to leave my room, I would miss so many different items. I have two bedrooms at two different houses, but each represents a part of who I am. One thing that I would miss very dearly is my paddle from Monmouth All Sports Camp. I would miss this because although the camp was only a week out of my life I learned many things from it and met so many knew people who, if it wasn't for that camp, I may not have ever met in my lifetime. Another thing that I would miss would my pictures I have hung up. Each and everyone of my pictures represents my life and who I am. I have pictures from sporting events that are a large part of my life. I have pictures from my junior high graduation, which was the marking of the end of a chapter in my life but also the beginning of a new one. Every single item in my bedrooms hold a memory and a special place in my heart.

    What surprised me about the similarities between Malala’s life and my own is how alike they are. I know all too well being late for school and having a messy room. My parents greet me in a very similar way. It was just very strange just to see a normal life play out for days when suddenly two figures clad in white ruin your next few weeks, just out of the blue.




    Question: What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?




    I can infer that Pakistan, while not the most developed country, was the more sociable one. The Malala’s parents’s friends often came over and gossiped or talked about politics, as explained by Malala when talking the sounds she heard in her old house . Malala also touches on the climate of England, a sharp contrast from the hot and dry Pakistan, with Birmingham being wet and cold. She also says that the walls of her new home are sturdy, implying that the walls of her old home were not.

    If I had to leave my home, some of the things I would miss would be very similar to Malala. I would miss all of my ribbons, medals, and trophies from basketball, softball, baton, and pageants. My room is full of different trophies I have won with my teams and my individual baton trophies. My door is covered in ribbons and medals from the state fair competitions, and different competitions I competed in. I have hundreds of pictures printed out that are in my room, and I would miss them very much as well. I tend to relive my favorite memories through pictures that I have from that day and I would miss having that option at my disposal. Those are just a few things that I would miss if I was forced to leave my house.

I feel like we take memories with others for granted because you could have someone over whenever you wanted, while Malala had to be careful every single day.

  31. What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?

    I can infer that life in Pakistan was very difficult. She had to work for everything she got. Nothing was given to her like in her life in England. "Here there is running water from every tap, hot or cold as you like. No need to carry cans of gas from the market to heat the water" (Yousafzai 3). In England it is very similar to what we have in the US. Most everyone has this access to things like water that no one would think twice about not having. I can infer that Malala was very grateful for everything she had because she had to work to get it. Nothing was handed to her like it would have been in England. Also in the prologue it states "Here there are large rooms with shiny wood floors, filled with large furniture and a large, large TV" (Yousafzai 3).This shows that England was way more advanced then her country. It was something new that she was not used to and amazed her to see.

    I can infer that life in Pakistan wasn’t the best but Malala loved her life there. She enjoyed having her friends to talk to, she misses what her life was like in Pakistan. In the novel, she says “I left that beloved home in Pakistan one morning/ and ended up a world away.” (Yousafzai 2) I think this statement itself says that she loved her home and misses it. Malala thought she would get to come back home when she left, but it is not safe for to be in Pakistan.

  33. What can you infer about life in Pakistan based on her life in Birmingham, England?
    I think that life in Pakistan would have been rough and simple. She talks about having hot and cold water in all the taps in Birmingham. This shows just how much we take for granted the simplest things we have in our society.

    What is the relationship between Malala and her father? What evidence is there to support this?
    Malala and her fathers relationship is nothing but love. Malala and her father both have the same desire to get all women into school and give them an education. Her father made sure his daughter had an education. Her father also calls her "jani". (Yousafzai 2) Which means "dear one." Malala and her fathers relationship consists of a deep, mutual love.

  34. Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?

    If I had to leave I would just generally miss the feeling of home. It would be hard to leave something I'm so used to and something that I see everyday. It would make me feel out of place if I ended up somewhere else. It would also be hard for me to leave all the pictures I have hanging up in my room. They alway remind me of all the great memories I have created with family and friends. I would always remember the memories but somewhat lose the visuals. Leaving everything you've ever known would be extremely hard.

    1. I agree with what you said about it being hard to leave home because of the fact that you are so used to it. I think all of us take things that we think could never be taken away from us, for granted.

  35. What can you infer about life in Pakistan for Malala compared to Birmingham?

    When Malala describes Birmingham, she feels homesick. It is very different from Pakistan in many ways. She describes it was being much nicer then Pakistan. She said in Birmingham they could have running water whenever. They couldn't have that in Pakistan. I can see life being rough there.

    When Malala leaves Pakistan, she describes the many things she is leaving behind. What would you miss most if you had to move to a different country?

    I would relate to Malala a bit because I would definitely miss all of my trophies. Those trophies are good memories that would be lost. I would also miss any valuable pictures because those are the biggest memories.

  36. If I had to leave all of my things behind I would miss my instruments, books, and my secret journal. I have lots instruments in my room. I have a clarinet, bagpipes, and a pan flute.I love music so these instruments mean a lot to me. I would also hate losing my books. As some of you may know, I'm one to read lots of books, so losing my books would not make me happy. The last thing on my list is my secret journal. Its a project that I've been working on for a while, basically it's a journal filled with facts about things I find interesting. It is one of my favorite things and it would not be good if I lost it.

    On to the second question.I think Malala has a strong relationship with her dad. I think this because of how supportive and how much she resembles him in her mindset. They seem to love each other, which is good.

    1. I agree with you Lexi. I would miss all of my precious books and instruments! I don't keep a journal, but I keep all of my full drawing books, which are in my room. They have lots of memories, so I could understand why you would be so sad to lose your journal.

  37. Malala talks about the things that are important to her at home including her trophies and medals. What in your room would you miss if you had to leave?
    If I had to leave my home and everything important to me I would miss the comfort, I would miss the coziness of my bed. I would miss knowing where everything is, walking in and knowing where everything goes and how everything has a place. I would miss all the memories I had. I would also miss the pictures I have that remind me the good memories I once had.

  38. What is the relationship between Malala and her father? What evidence supports this?
    Malala and her father have Albert close relationship. Some evidence I found to support this is that Malala and her father have a lot of jokes they frequently use together. Malala’s father also calls her “jani” which means “dear one” so this is why I thought that they have a close relationship.

    2. I agree with you, that Malala and her father have a very close relationship. I noticed this because he also shows that they do, by the way he always greets her everday when she arrives home after school. He greets her by asking her how her day at school was. This shows that they have a close relationship.
