Such as the fact Alex Libby was bullied his whole life. He was bruised, kicked and punched and even stabbed on the bus. He hadn't told his mother about this at all until it got too out of hand for him.he told his mom about what was going on at school and he just says, “I don't think I know how to feel anymore.”. This was definitely a terrible experience until he was in his very own documentary called “Bully” made by a film crew. He wasn't the only one going through traumatic experiences the. Malala Yousafzai was shot point blank in the head but luckily it bounced off her cheekbone merely missing her brain and back out her cheek into her shoulder.

There are similarities and multiple differences between the way the authors of I Am Malala and The Hobbit portray the hero’s journey, and most are differences. First of all, the biggest difference in the hero’s journey for the novels was the assistance. In I Am Malala, Malala’s father stays by her side during her journey in sharing her beliefs, but Gandalf leaves Bilbo early in the journey. Furthermore, the assistance in the hero’s journey is very important, because it contributes to many things that happen later on in the story. If Malala’s father had left in her journey, she probably wouldn’t have been shot, nor would she have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize, because she would have never met the reporters who helped her spread her beliefs; If Gandalf had stayed with Bilbo and the dwarves like Malala’s father had stayed with her, they never would have been caught by the wood elves and they would have never had to defeat the giant spiders,

However, they chose to use their experiences, not as a constant reminder of the pain they endured, but as a way to give hope and inspiration to others, as well as inform about their experiences to help prevent things, such a child soldiers and the holocaust from happening again. Even though Beah had to talk about what he went through and relive it, as did the other people he worked with, they all stated that “our faces and eyes glittered with hope and promise of happiness. It seemed we were transforming our sufferings as we talked about ways to solve their causes and let them be known to the world” (198).

She was injured by the Taliban and had to get treatment in a British hospital. She had international speeches and has won many prizes for human rights and equality (won the Nobel peace prize in 2014).

I always heard his stories and how they treated him well and going to the school actually saved his life. There was not much food on the reserves and when bad winters came many people froze to death, so when he went to the school he got food, a warm place to live, and education which he wouldn 't have gotten otherwise and another language which helped him out later in life. I think educating students of residential schools is a good thing but the problem is we only ever learn one side of the story. We learn over and over again how horrible they were and all the children that died, We never hear stories from survivors who had a good experience or about the schools that treated the students good.
