“Small, somewhat effortless acts can level out the scale of inequality in society.”
This applies to the friday everything changed because, when Alma made the comment about the water bucket, she was blind to the sensitivity and importance around to water bucket. But even if she didn’t know it, she made a great impact on how things will be and how people think.
After Alma said what she did, on pg.5 the author wrote; “if one of those german planes, like in war movies, had suddenly appeared over the school and dropped a bomb” this applies to the theme because, again; Alma doesn’t know what she had done but the impact was like a bomb. What she did was an effortless act. This also connects to Gandalfs quote because; Alma didn’t necessarily have much power, until she said something powerful. It was an ordinary act for her, to speak her mind.
In the world today, the people who make small acts, make a huge impact. Like planting one tree (picture on the left) can make an impact. Not only on the environment, but it could inspire others to do the same, causing a chain of small acts, making a big impact.
