Appendix l) Sample Introduction
Both the novel, I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, and the film Made in Dagenham, directed by
Nigel Cole explore the theme of persistence through the actions of the texts protagonists. Malala
and Rita are shown to personify the quality of persistence. It is made evident by both Rita and
Malala are both determined in their activism for womens rights. Malala persists for her right to
education despite restrictions forced upon her gender, in the face of danger, and after she is shot.
Rita perseveres against the Ford manages, against personal conflict and remains dedicated to the
cause for equal pay even in the face of financial trouble. Therefore, persistence is understood by
Malala and Ritas actions as the continuation of action in spite of difficulty.
