Explain how thami's world changes

Thami says he wants to break up their competition team. Thami sees racism all around and has become disillusioned with everything. Thami says the issues are much larger than just them; the people of the location are going to start boycotting all classes. Isabel asks if Mr. M knows and Thami says that he wasn't at the meeting because he isn't welcome in meetings organized by "the Comrades" (p.60). Isabel asks how long he thinks it will last, and Thami seems to think it will last months, saying they will keep boycotting until the government dismantles the current education system and negotiates with them. Isabel asks if they might resume studying after the boycott, and Thami is unsure.
