"Pakistani Activist Shot" Response

          This article apart from being interesting, shows a story of a reality that has happened. Malala Yousafzai makes me think a lot of Marji Satrapi. That's right; the main Character in "Persepolis". Why? Well, because She is the kind of child that is aware of her country's situation. She blogged about the Taliban regime. Just like Satrapi complained all the time (publicly) about the Islamic regime. All around the Middle East there must be little girls like these: complaining and protesting for the good of their own nation. 

          What I really liked about the article itself is that it divides itself in little paragraphs (each one explaining one specific thing). Also, it does not go in chronological order. Which in this case is good because to create good journalism, you first begin with the major event (for example: "Malala Yousafzai was attacked on her way home from school in Mingora, the region's main town). I here you don't know why or how they killed her. But you get caught in the title and the first sentence of the article, that makes you read the entire thing because if you don't; curiosity is going to kill you alive. 

          Then the article goes on and tells you the story one by one. First they talk about the Taliban's admitting they killed her, then why they did what they did. Later one it says how they killed her and explained all about the crime scene. This, makes you want to read the next paragraph (always). In the second section of the article they explain all about Malala's blogging life. I have never heard a story involving such a brave person. When I read this part I was completely perplexed because I can't believe that she actually began blogging about the Taliban regime at 11, and most importantly that she was nominated for the International Children's Peace Award. 

          Malala Yousafzai is a true inspiration for all young people that live in the oppression of fanaticism and extremism. I really hope she lives to continue leaving us her legacy. I also hope that the people that killed her are severely punished because according to the Islamic Law. It is against Allah's will to kill a virgin.
