Soccer War part I

Rysard Kapuscinski’s, Soccer War, is a novel base on real facts, about a African country called Algeria, and all its problems, coups, wars, economical and social. We started by reading this book on page 95 “Algeria Hides Its Face.” From the beginning, we know our main character, Ben Bella, the president of Algeria. By getting more deep on this chapter, we can see clearly all the conflicts that Algeria has passed, revolutions, economical problems, social problems and rebelion against their own goverment. But "Ben Bella had been a student of no ideological school and had joined the movement only becasue he wanted a free Algeria".(pg 107) we see clearly that from this point on, Ben Bella from his childhood wanted just the good for his country, we see him as a leader, as a man with his ideas straight at the age of 17-18. "He wanted to create a life for women. Now the men will lock us back up in the home."(pg 107) Here, it states when Ben Bella had been removed, one person told Kapuscinski (the narrator) that now that Bella was gone, women had no rights, meaning that he gave women another cnocepto of life, Ben Bella showed the correct way to treat and respect women. For me a disrespectful thing agaist women is leaving them locked on their houses doing nothing, women also have values, and courage to work just like men. Ben Bella is one of the few men in Algeria which cares about women and thats a big point on this book.
