Chapter 17-18

The strength of a large crowd of people is definatly displayed in chapter 17, as Bakayoko's plan works our perfectly. Bakayoko tells Alioune to make the crowd yell in order to let him speak. I thought it was really cool that Bakayoko was able to muster up so much support and overpower everyone so he would have an opportunity to speak. I thought it was nice that in some ways it is shown the strike was succesfful, and Bakayoko tells the crowd to continue challenging authority. The strike was successful but it did come at the cost of a few lives of the Senegales. Proves how a communiyt can unite and overcome challenges.
