Lupe Medrano: Hard Work

In this doc I will review a short story by Gary Soto. In the short story The Marble Champ the theme is to never give up. The evidence here is all throughout the story. In her training, winning, and crushing the competition, we understand how determined Lupe is.

“Practice, Practice, Practice. Squeeze, Squeeze, Squeeze. “ This is what the protagonist, Lupe Medrano says in, “The Marble Champ,” by Gary Soto. Lupe is very determined to become good at marbles. She does this by being very hard-working and staying confident in herself through the whole process while not giving up at the same time.

There are many different types of shows and cartoons that we watch in our daily lives. Fighting in Cartoons causes some kids to have violent nature.

This. This is a story about me, Luis Manuel Monreal Hernandez. And to know me better you'll have to know about my past. It all started December 20th, 2001. I was born on that day.

Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, also know as Antonio López de Santa Anna, was a conceited president and general who used manipulation to obtain power over Mexico. He ruled over Mexico and led his people to many victories. He was a hero, but whenever trouble came he fled only to make a grand entrance during a crisis and lead Mexico to victory. He went by his own rules and made Mexico follow them.  Antonio López de Santa Anna created a new form of government, used taking responsible risks to innovate a way to overcome the settlers, and illuminated the world by changing Mexico into the country it is today.

The theme in the short story, “The Marble Champ,” by Gary Soto was that hard work pays off in the end. I know this because, Lupe found a sport that she would love and be good at, so she worked very hard to achieve her goals. She worked/practiced day in and day out. And in the end, all of her hard work payed off. Have you ever felt like you had to give up at one point in time.

Have you ever heard about role models? If you have, then you would know that each one has to undertake some sort of mission to become what many people call a “role model.” The first role model’s name is Ernesto. The second person 's name is Farah Ahmedi. Finally, the third person is not a person.

What characteristics does someone have to have to be considered a good role model in society today? A good role model is someone who takes responsibility for their actions and is strong in their own personal values. A good role model is also someone who helps out others, not for their own benefit but just for the common good. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne is a good role model to the Puritan society due to the change in her character since her scandal.

“When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.” This quote, said by Zig Ziglar, shows that you should never give up. It also goes hand-in-hand with, “The Marble Champ”, by Gary Soto. The message from this story tells that no matter what, always try your best to accomplish the goal, and it may be achieved. This story represents this when Lupe decides to be more athletic, when Lupe worked hard and when Lupe won the final competition.
