1) Yes it surprised me. I would never think of someone in a 3rd world country adopting a child from America. I would think it would be the other way around. So Americans can help that child to have a better life.
2) His idea was to adopt a child from America. I think that that idea might turn out okay. But I don't think it would ever be allowed. Why would you want to bring a child from a great country to a country that is the poorest of the poor?
3) Soda's father does not want her to go to school because he thinks a women's place is at home to do the cooking and cleaning. He does not think that women should be educated. Soda wants to learn like everyone else. Her mother does not want her to be penalized when she is older because she has no education.
4) I think that if their society takes on (tubab) then they would not have the bond and the respect that those people have towards each other. They are all a very close community. Probably more than most people could say in America.
5) Western people might learn to be more loving towards each other and have more respect. They do not have many things to fight about. Americans seem to fight about everything and are very greedy.
6) If they had a more upgraded form of teaching and the technology that America has they probably wouldn't be as poor as they are.
7) This film reminds me of how much American people take school for granted. People in Senegal beg their parents to go to school so they can learn and have an education. Most children in America are lazy and ask their parents to stay home from school. Americans do not realize how important it is to go to school.
