Binta and the Great Idea
Binta and the Great Idea takes place in
Senegal.
Conflict/problem- The conflict was how Soda
was not allowed to attend school. Her father has an ethnic stereotype belief that
every woman in the village must spend their time not in school but in house
doing house chores.
Climax- the climax was when some of the
children from the village performed a play in front of the village. The play
was about Soda’s life, how she has been entreating her father to let her attend
school. In addition, the play also focused on the necessity and importance of how
education is to the new generation and how they can contribute to society by
getting proper education.
Symbol- In my opinion, the bird symbolizes
freedom and the letter symbolizes development.
Theme- been educated and able to attend
school is not a matter of course. There are children all across the world who
cannot afford to attend school even if they want to. Therefore, for those people
who are attending school should take school work seriously for the children who
can’t.
