Quino. “All Mafalda”. São Paulo: Martins Fontes, 2000.
Note that, at the end of the strip above, Mafalda's father is disappointed in himself. What made him feel that way? The realization that he had been outraged by news relating to a football game, rather than by really troubling news. What do you think about this? Do people, in general, behave like Mafalda's father? In other words, aren't they caring about serious social problems, such as the growing number of abandoned and malnourished children? Because? Reflect a lot and then produce a text, exposing your opinion on the topic covered in the strip.
Be convincing!
Do not forget:
1. The dissertation text is structured as follows:
– Title
– Introduction (theme presentation)
– Development (defense of your ideas, in a reasoned way)
– Conclusion (reinforcement of your opinion on the topic).
2. Your text must contain a minimum of 15 lines and a maximum of 20 lines.
3. Write your text in prose and in line with the cultured norm of the Portuguese language.
