🤍~the Friday everything changed~🤍

~comprehension~

     1.  because its a big thing for the boys to take the role of carrying the bucket, to them its important because it has meaning to all of them weather its in there own way, like say it makes them feel stronger etc. they were mad because the girls wanted to carry the water bucket, and the boys felt like it would’ve been taken away from them, and they would have less of a chance to carry the bucket.

 

2. they want to make the girls challenge them with a game of baseball, or any games, and the second strategy that they use to get the girls from not being allowed to carry the water bucket they fight alma and they bully her.

~elements of fiction~

3. alma is practically telling the story and her thoughts of miss Ralston were that she was different from the rest of the teachers alma felt like she looked at the whole class like they were real people and alma felt like she cared a lot for her students especially the girls. the story is being told by the first persons point of view.

 

4. the setting took place in the “olden” days, were towns were very small and it was when the didn’t have as much technology as we have today, the emotional setting was that it was a very intense story, there was a lot of tension between the characters and just the environment. the type of conflict is character vs society, or character vs character, both of them work for this story.

 

5. the protagonist is alma because she is a dynamic character as well as a round character, she’s a very brave individual who has curiosity  about the rules of genders and there equality levels.

 

6. what she said in the end of the story was that the girls could carry the bucket. I think what the authors message of this story is to not let gender limit us from doing what we want, it doesn’t matter if you a girl or boy you can choose what you are passionate about, also I think what the book is trying to tell us is that gender equality is big and we all have to treat each other as we would like to be treated.
