Mlk and Justice

...

will never be forgotten because it had affected them since it violated their equality in dignity.

Malala Yousafzai was shot by the Taliban for going to school. Girls weren’t allowed to go to school but Malala has different views on education. She believes that education should be opened to everyone regardless of their gender. Malala uses personification in “Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” to tell everyone that being shot does not mean she will give up on the fight for her justice. She brings her strength, power and courage to life and will be stronger than ever. Malala includes a saying in her speech, “The pen is mightier than sword”. She says this saying is true since she believes the extremists are only afraid of education because education is one thing that can change society and they are afraid of change. The quotes “…the weapon of knowledge and let us shield ourselves…” and “So let us wage a global struggle against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism and let us pick up our books and pens. They are out most powerful weapons.” Malala uses this metaphor to further advance her idea of education being a weapon against extremists. Because education is so powerful, Malala believes everyone should be able to receive it.

Freedom is given to everyone because they are born with natural rights. However, there are so many times someone’s rights had been violated. These violations had been recognized by people such as Martin Luther King Junior, Julia Alvarez, and Malala Yousafzai. All these three texts share a common purpose to the events that have violated a person’s rights. Even in the 1900s, when Adolt Hitler dehumanized the Jews is an example of violating someone’s natural borne rights and justice.
