about NON-FICTION texts to practice.

Label or list the EXPLICIT information on each of these images. Explicit – clearly stated so there is no room for confusion or questions.

Implicit – implied or suggested, but not clearly stated. 5

7 Fight for freedom – Source A (modern)

She is a Pakistani teenager who was protesting against the oppressive

regime in her country which meant that only boys were allowed to go to

school. Her public protests made her a target; in 2012, after she boarded

her school bus, she was shot three times by a gunman.

The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring

of support for Yousafzai and, in 2014, Malala was announced as the co-

recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

One morning in late summer, when my father was getting ready to go the school he noticed that the painting of me looking at the sky which we had been given by the school in Karachi had shifted in the night. He loved that painting and had hung it over his bed. Seeing it crooked disturbed him. ‘Please put it straight,’ he asked by mother in an unusually sharp tone. That same week our maths teacher Miss Shazia arrived at school in a hysterical state. She told my father that she’d had a nightmare in which I came to school with my leg badly burned and she had tried to protect it. She begged him to give some cooked rice to the poor, as we believe that if you give rice, even ants and birds will eat the bits that drop to the floor and will pray for us. My father gave money instead and she was distraught, saying that wasn’t the same. We laughed at Miss Shazia’s premonition, but then I started to have bad dreams too. I didn’t say anything to my parents but whenever I went out I was afraid that Taliban guns would leap out at me or throw acid in my face, as they had done to women in Afghanistan. I was particularly scared of the steps leading up our street where the boys used to hang out. Sometimes I thought I heard footsteps behind me or imagined figures slipping into the shadows.

Fight for freedom – Text B (19th^ Century) When I was six years old, my mother died; and then, for the first time, I learned, by

the talk around me, that I was a slave. My mother’s mistress was the daughter of my

grandmother’s mistress. She was the foster sister of my mother. They played together as children; and, when they became women, my mother was a most faithful servant to her whiter foster sister. I grieved for her, and my young mind was troubled with the thought who would now take care of me and my little brother. I was told that my home was now to be with her mistress; and I found it a happy one. My mistress was so kind to me that I was always glad to do her bidding, and proud to labor for her as much as my young years would permit. I would sit by her side for hours, sewing diligently, with a heart as free from care as that of any free-born white child. Those happy days - too happy to last. The slave child had no thought for the morrow; but there came that blight, which too surely waits on every human being born to a chattel^1. When I was nearly twelve years old, my kind mistress sickened and died. I was now old enough to begin to think of the future; and again and again I asked myself what they would do with me. I felt sure I should never find another mistress so kind as the one who was gone. After a brief period of suspense, the will of my mistress was read, and we learned that she had bequeathed^2 me to her sister’s daughter, a child of five years old. (^1) chattel – possession (^2) bequeathed – left in a will 8

The following extract is a first-person narrative written in

1861 by Harriet Jacobs. She was an African-American writer

who escaped from slavery and was later freed. She became an

abolitionist campaigner; ‘abolitionist’ means anti-slavery, which

was still legal in the United States at the start of the Civil

War, which itself started in 1861.
