Response Prep.



The social perspective of the text is concerned with gender injustice. Particularly with the exploitation of Malala as she is receiving vast attention, care and opportunity exclusively since she is favoured as a modern day narrative. Carol views this as hindrance to distract people's awareness of a gender injustice propelled by british women for many years and views it as a scheme to conceal the fact that women are disenfranchised. 

Nevertheless, concerning the emotional perspective, Carol delivers her intended message in an implicit approach, as she doesn't leak her emotions throughout the text but rather presents us with vast amount of latent indications that she does feel displeased and frustrated. She reveals her frustration by constantly questioning the reader why many people suffering from the same harm don't receive such attention and support. As an example in paragraph 14 where carol asks '' i wonder how many people can name the other girls injured when malala was shot ? '' and in paragraph 7 where she questions "what makes one person one more deserving than another?" 

Concerning the rhetorical perspective, the text is classified as argumentative and impersonal as carol illustrates and focuses on addressing the problem. Nevertheless, she also uses long sentences and by this technique, Carol ensures she delivers her compact ideas and reasoning clearly by guiding the reader through a series of selected examples and quotes that enhance the readers understanding of the Malala's issue and situation. Moreover, Carol isn't biased in delivering her message,for example she integrates both the US and Taliban's terrorism as being violence. There also seems to be a much greater hidden meaning behind her stating that all violence must be condemned, as she was sort of paving the way for her next idea, which is that injustice against women wether in the east or in Britain must also be integrated in the same way to allow the issue of injustice as a whole to be resolved. 

Fourthly, the logical perspective is persuading the reader to agree with carol's reasoning and sentiment, as she isn't biased and doesn't leave gaps in her explanation of what's happening to allow a counter argument to develope. Her process of inductive reasoning from Malala's exploitation to the general gender injustice in Britain is quite convincing and her use of rhetorical questions does prove her point strongly. Nevertheless, carol is quite keen on identify faults in the oppositions actions and deeds to further reinforce her moral argument.

Finally, regarding the ethical perspective, carol develops emotions for the reader in the sense of moral and ethical behaviour, as after reading the text, the reader is highly convinced by her reasoning that exploiting Malala's life and creating profit of it and disregarding the gender injustice is utterly shameful and erroneous. Since it is clear that there is discrimination against women that have been victims of the state due to corrupt authority, there is strong reason to believe that all people tolerating gender injustice should be provided with the same level of attention and support for their suffering.
