Marble Champ By Gary Soto
In the story ‘’Marble Champ’’ by Gary Soto, lupe is someone that wants to be good at something other than school.But as I read I learned that lupe is someone that people would admire. This is because she's smart,hardworking,and a good sport.

The first reason lupe is someone to admire is because she's smart. Shes smart by being a straight A student and by getting A’s means she studied hard and did all of her homework and stayed on top of her work. Another reason why lupe is smart is because she was the champion at chess.Which being good at chess means a lot because chess is a game of strategy.Strategy is a hard thing to do and being a champion at chess that means you have great strategy and strategy means you're smart.

Another reason lupe

    In the reading “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, the author describes his own experience of how kids and himself were treated by society during his childhood for being part of a different background. In the reading I noticed how the author shows us ways that he has become the person he is by the influence of his family, particularly his dad who sparked his passion toward reading books. In my essay I implemented an additional family factor other than my father and sister; I included my brother. He impacted how I treat people that are constantly looked down by society. In addition, I have grown from my brother’s death and as an effect I have matured as a person and a writer.…

Parks wrote this story as an attempt to help fight poverty by exposing it.…
