Malala describes the rise of the Taliban and the begining of life under their rule. The Pakistani Taliban, formally known as the Tehreek-e-Taliban, are a rebel group in Pakistan allied with al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban. Uniting a number of rebel groups into a single one, the group was formed in 207 Baitullah Mehsud. They controlled all forms of media, closed schools, raided houses, kidnapped women, shut down businesses, burned books, cds, tvs, computers, whipped and beat ‘disobedient’ people, blew up buildings, museums, and houses, and murdered resisting forces. More oppression towards women is witnessed in these chapters. Malala notices the discrepancy between the words that the Taliban use and the real words of the Quran. Despite further subduing and oppressing methods from the Taliban, Malala speaks out. She puts effort into interviewing with different media outlets and describing what is happening in Pakistan. The news channel BBC offered her a blogging position with them allowing her to use her education and knowledge to speak of the injustices that were happening in Pakistan. Malala’s grows indoubtly through these chapters. The schools shut down, then the ban is lifted, and finally, a military operations sweeps into Swat. Yet, Malala’s growth continues. She despairs briefly when the schools shut down, but when the ban is lifted for girls 10 years old and younger, she flexes her strength as an individual and pretends to be younger. Her courage outmatches the Taliban’s efforts to stop her from learning. Even when the military operation moves in and her family must move out, Malala finds peace in education. Surrounded by boys in class, Malala grows more confident in herself. Despite girls traditionally making speeches over the loud speaker rather than in person, Malala puts herself on stage with the boys, proving that she is equal.He supports her
