Trying to impress others by doing something you can\u2019t is a hard thing. In \u201cSeventh Grade\u201d by Gary Soto, Victor, the protagonist of the story, did things he couldn’t do to try to impress Teresa, his crush. Victor did things like saying his crush\u2019s name in English class, speaking French when he doesn\u2019t really know how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, in English class Victor did something very embarrassing. Mr. Lucas, the English teacher, asked the class what is a noun; the class answered a place, person, or thing. Then Mr. Lucas asked Victor an example of a noun. Victor automatically and immediately said Teresa, which was the name of his crush. Victor was very embarrassed of himself, and was ashamed of blurting out his crush\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another example was when in French class. Victor didn\u2019t know French that well, he learned Spanish and got pretty good at it but he was not so good at French. In French, the teacher, Mr. Bueller, said hello to the class and asked anyone if they knew or how to speak French. Victor just guessed a sentence and tried to show off when he didn\u2019t even know how to speak the language. Victor instantly regretted what he did and was strongly embarrassed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing something that you can\u2019t do is dangerous, it will get you ashamed and embarrassed of yourself. But sometimes you can overcome that obstacle and even guess. Victor did something he could not do and succeeded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
