Both texts depict Yousafzai as being extremely humble, gracious, and determined. They also show that the conditions she lived under in Pakistan were extremely oppressive to girls and women, and that she has grown from a little-known activist into a household name.
Exercise 2

See sample answer below.

Both texts:
• The Taliban shot Yousafzai on the left side of her forehead to try to silence her cries for women’s education.
• Yousafzai even wants education for the daughters and sons of terrorists
• Yousafzai does not hate the Talib who shot her
• Yousafzai believes “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and that the terrorists fear knowledge
Just the interview:
• Yousafzai held her friend’s hand while she was shot.
• Yousafzai doesn’t remember the gunshot itself.
• Yousafzai’s father is a teacher, and she is very close with him.
Just the speech:
• The names of the diplomats who have supported Yousafzai.
• Yousafzai supports Ban Ki-moon in his Global Education First initiative
• The existence of Malala Day
• Yousafzai learned compassion from Muhammad, Jesus Christ, and Lord Buddha
• Yousafzai believes she has inherited a “legacy of change” from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah
• Yousafzai learned nonviolence from Gandhi Jee, Bacha Khan, and Mother Teresa
• The Taliban also target female teachers and polio workers
• Islam “says that it is not only each child’s right to get education; rather, it is their duty and responsibility” (312)

The speech and the interview both give the critical information about what Yousafzai has been through and what she believes in: they state that she was shot by the Taliban for promoting girls’ education, and that she believes the “pen is mightier than the sword,” or that knowledge is more powerful than violence. The interview focuses more on the pathos of the event, perhaps because giving emotionally provocative details will keep viewers more engaged. The speech is more formal, and Yousafzai cites the diplomats she is grateful to for protecting her, and the other political figures she looks up to.
