| Seventh Grade |
1. Today we read another short story called Seventh Grade written by Gary Soto. It's about a boy named Victor and he starts his first day of school. One sentence that stood out to me in the story is when Victor says something he made up in french. "La me vava me con le Grandma" Victor made up some noises that sounded like french. I thought that this was funny and something interesting that people would do when they're nervous and have nothing to say.
2. In the story, one part that connected to me is when Victor was looking for Teresa at lunch. "He raised his eyes slowly and looked around. No Teresa." I can connect of how Victor was feeling when you try to look for someone but you don't see them instantly. It took Victor a while to look for Teresa, and he started to panic because he just couldn't find her. He was probably wondering where she was because he wouldn't want anything bad happening to her. Victor was also probably trying to hide the fact that he was looking for her since he pretended to study, and stared at math problems, even though he wasn't very good at it.
