BOOK REVIEW: I am Malala: The Girl who stood up for education and was shot by the taliban.
December 23, 2016
---Why did you write an emotionally manipulative story specifically directed at international readers compelling them to feel sorry about a nation using the lethal weapon of exaggeration and one sided execution of truth. I always thought why Malala and not someone else as everything about your story is neat.Too neat.You might be a fugitive for all I care but why ruin an already bad reputation by pointing out all the controversial issues of the last 20 years about a country you claim to love.I'm not even a religious or patriotic person but after reading your sobstory I feel like becoming one by kindly pointing out all the BS.I expected you to be a peacemaker not a pacemaker,Since you won a Nobel prize for peace.You made me fight with a lot of people(who don't know the first thing about Pakistan just like I still don't know what the hell Starbucks is...JK Justin Bieber told that all in Baby). Aren't All the "ugly truths" you like pointing out so very much subjective matters and cant be explained as one liners.So, I want to be mean to you because you make my whole existence look bad.
You are a show off:(
--We don't need to know about how high and mighty and how different from every girl you are in like every chapter.You wrote an autobiography at 16,Please let us judge for ourselves.
*‘Don’t you think she is meant for the skies?’
*‘Malala is not just the daughter of Ziauddin,’ they would say; ‘she is the daughter of all of us.’
*‘Malala is free as a bird.’
*On some shelves were all the gold-colored plastic cups and trophies I had won for coming first in my class. Only twice had I not come top – both times when I was beaten by my class rival Malka e-Noor. I was determined it would not happen again.
*‘Malala was a lucky girl,’ says Hidayatullah. ‘When she was born our luck changed.
*My parents say I have qualities of both grandfathers – humorous and wise like my mother’s father and vocal like my father’s father!
Why do you hate
*My country may not be very old but unfortunately it already has a history of military coups, and when my father was eight a general called Zia ul-Haq seized power. There are still many pictures of him around. He was a scary man with dark panda shadows around his eyes, large teeth that seemed to stand to attention and hair pomaded flat on his head. He arrested our elected prime minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and had him tried for treason then hanged from a scaffold in Rawalpindi jail. Even today people talk of Mr Bhutto as a man of great charisma. They say he was the first Pakistani leader to stand up for the common people, though he himself was a feudal lord with vast estates of mango fields. His execution shocked everybody and made Pakistan
look bad all around the world. --------->Isn't that exactly what you are doing.
*Thanks to President Zardari and his family, whose love and
care kept me strong.------>This was in the acknowledgements section.
I won't be surprised at all if she ends up getting married to Bilawal BhuttoZardari and having his 2.5 kids,You know.
*One day I will be a politician and do these things myself.--------->OH MY GAWD *blink blink*
Now people think we are discriminating:(
*We are a country of 180 million and more than 96 per cent are Muslim. We also have around two million Christians and more than two million Ahmadis, who say they are Muslims though our government says they are not. Sadly those minority communities are often attacked.
*The most important jobs in the army, bureaucracy and government are all taken by Punjabis because they come from the biggest and most powerful province.(maybe because Punjab has the largest population and education to population ratio)
Thanks to you now everyone thinks Pakistan is illiterate:(
*‘I agree that female teachers should educate girls,’ he said. ‘But first we need to educate our girls so they can become teachers!
Anyone living in Pakistan can see how false this statement is since majority of the teachers are women here.
* The boys learn the Quran by heart, rocking back and forth as they recite. They learn that there is no such thing as science or literature, that dinosaurs never existed and that man never went to the moon.
Do you have something against Pakistani Doctors?
*In our country few doctors bother explaining anything to an illiterate woman.
*In fact the Pakistani doctors had shaved my head with no mercy.
*internal scream*
*internal scream*
TO BE HONEST I CAN FIND A THOUSAND FAULTS, BUT I'M TOO TIRED AND I'M GLAD THIS MENTAL ABUSE IS OVER.
P.S if you've some time, Read this fellow goodreader's review.
