Literary Elements Of The Story 'The Scholarship Jacket'

I believe that the story “The Scholarship Jacket” is the story that the future 7th graders should read because it tells you to speak up and stand for what is rightfully yours.In the story “The Scholarship Jacket” the Literary element that I chose was the theme. The theme is about standing up for what you believe in and having a voice to say what right. In the theme when the principal asked Martha if she had the 15 dollars to pay for the scholarship jacket but her grandparents wouldn’t pay for it. So the next day when the principal asked if she had the 15 dollars she said, “It is not a scholarship jacket if you pay”. After what Martha said the principle decided to make an exception and let Martha have her jacket for free. This theme connects
to a 7th grader because lots of 7th graders get bullied and in order to stop that they have to stand up for what they believe in which is for the bully to stop picking on them. This short story is important because it explains that if something goes wrong in your way then stand up for what you believe in.
