Assalamu'alaikum ^_^
Hello friends! How are you? I hope you have a great weekend 😊
In this time I would like to continue my review. Last week I have review the book I am Malala from chapter 1-8. Today, I will continue my review from 9-15.
Part 2: The Valley of Death
Chapter 9: Radio Mullah
In this chapter Malala write when she was ten y.o the Taliban came to the Swat Valley. The first time Malala saw the Taliban, she say that they resemble vampire like in Twilight books. The leader of Taliban is Maulana Fazlullah. In the beginning Fazlullah was very wise. He said that the people should stop to smoking and consume drugs, but actually he has ceritain intentions. He used his radio station (Radio Mullah) to broadcast his beliefs and influence many people. He instead that men should go outside and women should work all day at home. He closing down all beauty palors, banning barbers, and forbidding women from walking outside in the evening. He also stopped health workers giving polio drops, saying the vaccinations were an Amerika plot to make Muslim women infertile. Malala's father (Ziauddin) didn't enforcement this rule in his school. Then his friend (Hidayatullah) encouraged him to speak out against the Taliban laws. Ziauddin wrote a letter to the newspaper (the Daily Azadi), arguing that the Taliban were misinterpreting Al Qur'an.
Chapter 10: Toffees, Tennis Balls and the Buddhas of Swat
In this chapter, the Taliban start destroying everything and killing the people in Swat Valley where Malala lives for no reason other than fact that they are different. The Taliban are trying to control Swat Valley and hurt people, even destroy their people. It remains me that I need to be more thankful for the things I have and living in a safe place.
Chapter 11: The Clever Class
In this chapter was a dark time in Malala's life: the country was in chaos and she felt unsafe in her own town. She didn't confortable wearing her school uniform, since the uniform was a sign that she was being educated, and thus in the Taliban eyes dishonoring Allah. The Taliban blowing up school for girl almost everyday. At the same time Malala refuse to give up on her education as her Mother (Tor Pekai) did. She continues attending school, encouraged by both her father and mother. In response to the escalating violence in Swat, Ziauddin and his group wanted to challenge Fazlullah's interpretations of Al Quran. At the end of 2008, Fazlullah's deputy made a sudden announcement that Ziauddin's girl's school would close. Malala didn't take this threat seriously but many of her friends believe that their lives would be in danger if they continued to attend school.
Chapter 12: The Bloody Square
In this chapter, the real violence is beginning, as women are killed in increasingly gruesome ways. There is remarkably little response to the Taliban atrocity in Pakistan because people are afraid that they themselves will be killed. Some of Ziauddin's friends in Islamabad organized a conference about religious freedom, but almost no one turns up, either to speak and listen. He continues to write articles criticizing the Taliban. Malala's mother worries if the Taliban come to hurt him and she begins sleeping with a knife under her pillow.
Chapter 13: The Diary of Gul Makai
In this chapter Malala write her first diary. She uses the pseudonym "Gul Makai" in BCC. She talks about her anxiety and reports a dream she had, in which the Taliban arrived by helicopter. Malala's words are published online. Ziauddin is in bad mood. He knows that he will be forced to shut down his school, since nobody will want to risk their lives to study.
Chapter 14: A Funny Kind of Peace
In early 2009 the school in Swat Valley reopen. Across Pakistan people are criticizing Fazlullah for banning women's education. In response, Fazlullah agrees to lift the ban for girl who are ten y.o or younger. Malala pretends to be younger then she really is in order to continue going to school. Several of her friends do so as well. Seventy percent of the valley is under the Taliban control.
Chapter 15: Leaving the Valley
In May 2009 Ziauddin makes a difficult decision to take his family out of Mingora to Shangla. The area has became too dangerous for a family to live in. In following weeks, Malala settles into her new life in Shangla. She gets up early to walk to school. She continues to give interviews with radio station.
That all about my review, thank you and see you on my next post. 🤗😉
Wassalamu'alaikum ^_^
