Dear Gary Soto
In the story The jacket," I was reminded of when I was in 5th grade and I had a ring that I wore everyday in school. Everytime I wore the ring it gave me luck. It helped me pass my test, and it helped me through rough days, and etc... But when I went to 6th grade, It had gotten too small for me and I was upset, because my finger was too big for my ring. But in a few weeks later, I got over it, because I notced that I did not need it anymore, to make my day better, or my grades.
This story is about a boy who needed a new jacket and he wore it everyday to school. And he was very, very hurt, and embarrassed of it because of the way it looked, he got C's on quizzes and forgot the state capitals and the rivers of South America. It was just not his day, that was not supposed to happened that day in school.
But I really have insterested with this book because It reminds me that my sister was the same way, when that day she did not like the shoes she had on, but them was the only shoes she had that she could only fit.
