The pink notebook was to write whatever she could not say aloud, and the teddy bear was to comfort her. She received a pink notebook and a white teddy bear. When Malala woke up she couldn’t speak because there was a tube in her throat. Instantly, Malala was moved fromm a hospital in Mingora to Peshawar, and then to Rawalpindi.Finally, she ended up in the Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital in Birmingham. Malala declares that she doesn’t remember any of it: the shooting, bleeding, travelling to 4 different hospitals. Soon, she became a target of the Taliban who followed her on her way home, and shot her right near the brain. Little did she know that the Taliban was hearing all this. She says that the only thing she wants is for girls to have a right to learn, have a good education, and grow up to be whatever they want to be. By this point, Malala has had many interviews and is given the chance to talk against the Taliban. One day, Malala’s father finds a note on the door of his room saying, ‘Close down this school otherwise you know what we can do!’ Malala’s father wrote back ‘Please don’t kill my students.

Malala is keen and gets a pseudonym: Gul Makai – a Pashtun folktale character. One of Malala’s father’s friends on the BBC news channel, now wants a girl to write a journal about the Taliban and how it affects her life. She will ignore the chat about the Taliban and instead talks about the things that girls her age should be talking about: TV shows, friends, and plans for the weekend.īut now the Taliban is becoming even crueler: they sold women who don’t wear a burqa and beat-up men who refuse to accompany their wife and daughter. One day, Malala wakes up and has an idea. She begins to talk to God and asks Him about how she can help.

If they went out without a male relative, or without wearing a proper burqa (a top to bottom black dress), he and his followers would throw acid on their face! Malala gets even more upset and when she sees that the Taliban have come to Mingora and are putting banners up which stop women from leaving their homes without a male. He has now said that women should not be allowed out of the house without a known male accompanying her. Fazlullah forms the Taliban and starts doing bad things to women in Afghanistan.
