Who do you think I should compare and contrast Malala Yousafzai with?

Answer 1

Your choices are good. I'd add comparing her to Mohandas K. Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Sojourner Truth.

Answer 2

Thank you so much! I'll choose one of the ones you suggested because I am having trouble finding the 4 questions I have to do to compare them.

Answer 3

What are the four questions?

Answer 4

I have to compare Malala with another leader through:
-Visions/Goals
-Characteristics/Qualities
-Perspective/Beliefs
-Leadership skills

Answer 5

I know everything about Malala Yousafzai because my project is on her. I even read her autobiography and read her book I am Malala. I am having trouble choosing 1 other leader and finding their 4 things listed above.

Answer 6

Thank you. Those should be valuable comparisons with all of the people you're considering.

Another thought -- you might want to try comparing Malala with Floridian Emma Gonzalez.

Answer 7

Can you please suggest one person I can compare her to. I am really confused and I am only supposed to compare her to one person.

Answer 8

Oh -- I misunderstood. I thought you were to compare Malala with two people.

Choose the person you are most comfortable with.

Answer 9
