Bellwork: Read the story below then write down your reaction and decide whether you think it is a true story or not. Explain your thinking! A young street vendor in Tunisia named Mohamed Bouazizi set out to sell vegetables from a cart early in the morning. He bought his goods on credit because he had no money. Shortly after he began pushing his cart through the city, a police officer told him he did not have the correct permit and demanded a bribe. When Bouazizi did not give her enough, she took his goods. He immediately went to complain to the authorities at the local government headquarters, but they refuesd to see him. Feeling desperate and frustrated that he could now not repay the debt of feed his family of eight, he bought a can of gasoline and set himself on fire in protest.

He is now famous throughout Tunisia and the Arab world — a legend, in fact. But Mohammed Bouazizi never set out to be such a thing. His aunt Radia Bouazizi says his dream was to save enough money to be able to rent or buy a pickup truck. "Not to cruise around in," she says, "but for his work." Her nephew was a vegetable seller. "He would come home tired after pushing the cart around all day. All he wanted was a pickup." Instead, he started a revolution. TRUE
