How different are people allowed to be in this text? Does it assume everyone is happy and good in the same ways?
In the text The Bravest Girl in the World, a girl is shot in the head because she supports education for girls in Pakistan. Her dad built a school for the girls and according to her description of first day of school, she was excited. She described learning as if it was interesting and that she loved it. The Taliban then came and shot her in hopes to shut her up. It didn't work.
People, or in this case girls, are not allowed to be very different. To be specific, they are not allowed to learn. So when Malala dared to speak out, they tried to eliminate her. But she survived and is still talking. This is a very sexist topic, women are not allowed to learn because well, they're women.
This text does not assume everyone is happy, in fact everyone is scared. Girls are scared that they will be next being shot. They are scared that they will not be able to learn anymore. But there is hope, because Malala is now in a different place and still speaking out against the Taliban. She even got a Noble peace Prize or her purpose. And she will keep speaking for as long as he needs to get her point across.
