Novel Study - I am Malala

 Hi guys today in Wananga we are working on our novel study work. I have already read the chapters 14-17 so now I have to do the activities. The activities that we have to do is writing a Summary, doing a Vocabulary, and make an inspirational quote from something that Malala has said. Here is my work and I hope you enjoy.


Summary - 

Chp 14
Her father had wanted her to learn more English so he had given her some shows to watch, the first one named Ugly Betty and Mind Your Language. She did learn some words from the shows but it was mostly in weird accents because of Mind Your Language was spoken in a very strong British accent. Few schools had been blown up during some time. Malala's teacher had sent messages to the girls who went to her school to say that they can still go to school but not wear their uniforms because it would be too dangerous.

Chp 15
She woke up to gunshots because people of Mingora were celebrating a peace treaty. The peace treaty was that the government would impose Sharia if the Taliban would stop fighting. Sharia is basically all aspects of life. Which meant she would be able to go to school, but women and girls would have to cover themselves in public. She had been continuing on doing interviews about girls right to gain an education. The biggest tv channel in her country (GEO TV) wanted to do an interview with her. Her and her dad had done an interview about it. A teenager had been killed by the Taliban, she had come out of her house with a man who wasn't her husband. 

Chp16
Malala and her family were moving for a few because the Taliban were forcing them out. They traveled in Safina's family car, there wasn't much room in the car so the the rest of her family was going in a car with her fathers friend. Malala couldn't take her school books with her she wouldn't have enough room, so she had hid them in a bag that was in the guest room of her house. The had said goodbye to their house and did a prayer for their house and left. At least 2 million people had fled their homes. She missed her home, her school, as well as Ugly Betty.

Chp17
After 3 months she was on her way home, they were driving home, her father had seen the swat valley and started to weep. They reached Mingora and saw the state of it and they all started to cry, it still looked like a warzone. They were scared what their house would look like since they had heard that the houses around them had been looted. When their father had opened the door the first thing they all saw was that their backyard had become a jungle. Her brothers instantly went outside to check on the chickens, they both came back in crying, the chickens weren't there they were just a pile of bones. Malala ran into the guest room to check if her school books were still there, surprisingly they were still there untouched as well. Malala and her father had gone to check on the school to see if anything had happen to it. The school had things painted on the walls and they recon that it had been use for a sniper spot.
