Analysis Of My Favorite Chaperone By Jean Daviess Okimoto

“My Favorite Chaperone” is written by Jean Davies Okimoto and is a wonderful story. The theme of this story is that hard work always pays off. The main character is a young girl named Maya who has made the journey from her home county of Kazakhstan over to America. Here, things are a little different than how they were. The whole story starts off my explaining how Maya wants to go to the school dance. But immediately after, things start to go downhill. Her brother gets in trouble, her parents get mad at her, things just don’t go well. When Maya’s mother breaks her leg and is unable to work, Maya steps up and helps out her mom. She fills in all of her jobs and does the cooking until her mom is all better. Maya worked hard and did her best and
things still didn’t go always turn out good. She ended up burning dinner a few times. But I as the story came to a close, her hard work pays off. Her mother gives her a bracelet and allows her to go to the dance. That she’s been wanting to go to f since the story began. Her hard work that she has been doing finally pays off, and I think that’s the story of “My Favorite Chaperone”.
