Binta and the Great Idea

1. At the end of the film it did suprise me because I wasn't expecting Binta's father to get that close to the provincial leader and actually get to have a meeting with him, and I thought that the governor would take it as kind of a joke and not go throught with it.
2. Binta's father's idea was to adopt a tubab to teach him or her qualities about the Western industrialized society. I do think it could be a good idea just to show someone outside of their culture what its like to live there and what beliefs are strong to them.
3. Soda's father doesn't believe she should attend school because he believes African girls should not be educated, and they should learn how to tend the home and family. I believe Soda wants to go to school because she doesn't want to grow up not knowing how to read and grow up like her aunt that is not educated.
4. I don't think work would be as important to them because if their becoming wealthy from all the fish, I dont think they would work as hard.
7. This film made think about how much we take education for granted. We don't understand what it would be like if our parents would not let us get an education and did not push us towards our goals. Also, a lot of students always say how they don't want to go to school or are sick of it, when really there all children out there that wish they could go to school and learn the littlest things, like reading and writing.
