On page 36, William Kamkwamba writes "That same morning, instead of going straight to work, my father stopped by the church to see Reverend JJ."  He then continues to say that his father was like a completely new man than his mother had ever known.  Suddenly there was "lots of money for food and medicine for his kids."

Why is "The Pope" making this change now?  Why didn't he change earlier or when the Reverend first talked to him?  What took him so long to decided to change his ways?  What was his motivation for making himself a different man?

Your grade in your IDLA Psychology class has been a 62% for the last three weeks of the semester because of one big project that you almost finished but then didn't turn in because you didn't get the last part done.  Because you have a zero for that assignment, it's dragging your whole grade into the toilet.  

It's now the last week of the semester before finals.  You have two more days of the class.  You're taking this class online, so your parents have paid money for it and you were planning to get college credit, which you won’t if you fail.  The final is worth 20% of your semester grade. 

Your mom is super upset and says if you don't get the project in for credit, you'll have no phone, no internet, no TV, no contact with your friends, and nothing to eat but broccoli and plain oatmeal all weekend.
