The Scholarship Jacket And Zebra By Chaim Potok

I have been asked to compose a response that explains how the minor characters from both stories, “The Scholarship Jacket” by Marta Salinas and “Zebra” by Chaim Potok are influential to the lives of the protagonists. First, I want to explain how the Grandfather of Marta’s in The Scholarship was so influential and helpful throughout the process of her getting the jacket. When Marta was younger her parents didn’t have enough money to raise 8 children so Marta was sent to live with her grandparents. The small Texas school that Marta attended had a award during the eighth grade graduation called the scholarship jacket, this jacket was given to the person graduating with the best grades. A couple years back she said her sister had won the award
