For those of you that know me, you'll know that I am a book worm. I love reading so a lot of the items on my 101 things in 1001 day list include reading. For list item #12, I decided to couple the written and visual storytelling elements to learn a story both from a book and a movie. I enjoy creating images, scenes and visuals in my own head when reading and love being able to see how others make written stories into visual storytelling when adapting books into movies. I like to see how the images, scenes and visuals I have created in my head differ or resemble the ones that get created in the actual movies.
When I was looking at a list of books being turned into movies, I was really excited to see the "I am Malala" movie coming out and thought it was the perfect time to read the book and watch the movie. The book was great - a true story about a girl fighting for the right for education who was shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan. The book explored everything that led up to the shooting and some of what has come afterwards. It is remarkable to read a story from the youngest nobel peace prize winner and it was great to see the movie as well. Malala is a role model for young girls throughout the world and makes readers and viewers believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire and ignite change in the world for the better. I think Malala will continue to be a symbol for human rights, freedom and inspiring change in our world.
