Literary Essay


Have you ever been in love before?  In the story Seventh Grade by Gary Soto,Victor is in love.

Teresa is going to be my girl this year. This proves my claim because, he is promising himself that Teresa will be his girl friend that year.  It also is saying that he is really in love with one person, and that he will try to be her boy friend.  Now this is and isnt a good idea for Victor, Because if he manages to impress Teresa, she will be his girl friend. But if Victor messes up there would be consequences of his actions, Teresa would not like him any more and it would mean that Teresa being his girl friend will never happen.

Mr. Buller asked if anyone knew French. Victor raised his hand, wanting to impress Teresa. This can prove my claim because Victor is trying to impress Teresa by saying he knows French. He may be saying he knows it because he wants her to think he knows French. I would say he should not do this.  When the teacher would ask him a question, he wont know how to answer and will make a fool of himself infront of the Tereasa,the teacher, and the entire class.  

"Yes now somebody give me an example of a person-you Victor Rodriguez." "Teresa," Victor said automatically. This can prove my claim because when they asked for a person Victor said Teresa automatically, which this means he defenently has a crush on Teresa. Victor should not act this way, what ends up happening is he becomes embarrassed, and when another kid is called on by the teacher, the kid say's " Teresa's house with a bunch of older brothers." Now this is also embarrassing to Victor, because everyone in that class now knows that he has a crush on Teresa. When the kid says "Teresa's house with a bunch of older brothers" it is adding on to Victor's answer, which i think will make him more embarrassed. 

So I think that Victor is in love. Because of what happens in the book I can say that Victor is in love.
