The article “The Bravest Girl in the
World” was the story of a brave girl named Malala who spoke out against the
Taliban’s banning for girl’s education. The Taliban came over from Afghanistan
and took control, in 2007, over the Swat Valley where Malala lived. They banned
most personal freedom’s and closed schools for girls. Malala and her father
spoke out for girl’s education and they became targets for the Taliban. One day
when Malala was going to school on the bus. She was shot in the head by a
member of the Taliban but managed to survive. After she recovered she didn't
stop fighting, she spoke in front of the U.N, won the International Children’s
Peace Prize, and became nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. After reading her
story I was amazed but asked myself, whose perspective is missing in this text?
What would it be like if we put it back?
After great inquiry, I found the
missing peace. The Taliban’s point of view is missing here. The article touched
on why they shot her but they never went in depth. Maybe if they would've
interviewed a member of the Taliban and asked them why they did what they did,
it would help the reader understand more in-depth on why they attempted to kill
her.
