FEC Questions 

 

Question #1 Why are the boys so upset about the girls carrying the water. 

  • The boys are upset because they believe it is their tradition and do not want to share it 

 

Question #3. Who is telling the story? What does she think of Ms. Ralston and the conflict over the water? From what point of view is the story told? 

  • Alma is telling the story. Alma is proud of Ms. Ralston for helping her efforts and the story is 3rd person limited. 

 

Question #4 What is the setting (provide evidence). How does the setting intensify the conflict? What kind of conflict is it? (Person vs. Person – Person vs. Self – Person vs. Society) Provide evidence for each conflict 

  • It is estimated to be around 1950s because National Geographic is around and there is still some racism and discrimination. They also must go get water from a well and have no outside information other than Magazines. The setting intensifies the conflict because if they were in a first world country in 2021 there would be no well and therefore no conflict. 

 

Question #5 Who is the Protagonist? How do you know? 

  • The Protagonist is Alma because she is the main character fighting for the greater good. The story is written to make Alma sound like a good guy because she is. 

 

Question #6 In what way has everything changed that Friday? What is the significance of Ms. Ralston’s action in the last paragraph? What is the massage (theme) the author is exploring? 

  • Everything changed because finally, the girls are breaking away at old and bad traditions like girls not being able to carry the bucket of water or that girls can’t play sports, ext. The significance in the last paragraph is amazing. Just like the sentences before this the girls might finally be recognized as humans, rather than some twisted type of male supremacy. The message is Woman equality. 

Inequality in Woman’s Soccer

Hello, Ms. Gachallan! I read an article by CBC addressing the merchandise gap from Canadian Woman’s to Men’s soccer. It was quiet saddening to read this article and realize that life as a Woman’s soccer fan isn’t all that easy. The articles starts off by reminding us of Canada’s amazing win against Sweden for the Tokyo Olympics Gold metal for Woman’s soccer! The final game against Sweden broke records as the most-watched event of the games in Canada, having upwards of 4.4 million concurrent viewers. But as the Woman’s soccer community went to go buy soccer jerseys from there new favourite player they would realize that it was extremely hard to get any soccer tops from there official online stores. Because the suppliers didn’t expect such a win and sch traffic on there site it sold out within days and nothing but extra-smalls were left. But if you wanted to go buy a Mens Canada jersey they were fully in stock at pretty much any size. Now I do understand that this can sometimes be expected after winning like that but it shouldn’t have sold out so quickly, maybe if it held a week and had restocking happening quickly it wouldn’t be that bad. But of course it didn’t and it sold out too quick and there aren’t much resupplying happening which is really disappointing.

 

What was this article about:

It was about the unequal merchandise gap between the Woman’s national team and the Mens.

 

Who does it involve:

The Canadian Woman’s national Soccer team.

 

Why did I choose this article:

I looked through a few other articles, some Soccer, some not and I landed on this one because I love the writers style and the Olympics are cool.

 

How does this article relate to “The Friday everything changed” book

This article connects with the book we are reading in a simple way. They are both talking about inequality with woman, it is quite sad honestly that after all these year there is still inequality and I hope most people hope that one day all of this end.

Thanks for reading.
