Malala

What is there to really say about Malala and her writing. I feel like she’s accomplished so much already. Her writing simultaneously reminds you that she’s only a teenager, but also has ambitions to change the world. Her writing isn’t game changing in its construction, but it gets the job done.

Really, there are two kinds of writers I think. Those who can write, and those who have a story. If you can write, I think that means the writer uses language not only as a means of communication but also as an art form. If you have a story, you have a story. I think Malala has a story, first and foremost, then a message. She also uses her viewpoint as a teen to help further exaggerate the depravity of those who were and are against her. Not to say she’s a bad writer, but she more-so has a story to tell, if that makes sense. Honestly, she writers like a teenager (which she was at the time of writing), which makes the book hit even harder. It becomes even more relatable and shocking, and is one of the reasons why it has become so internationally acclaimed.

She does a great job keeping her eye on the ball, and making sure the reader is always aware of what her goals are. Education is the name of the game, and Malala and her family are all about it.

Definitely a must read.
