The Scholarship Jacket: Theme and Character
In the book "The Scholarship Jacket" by Marta Salinas, the author talks about an experience she had herself as a fourteen year old girl. Marta is a shy Mexican girl who is striving for a jacket. In the Texas high school Marta attended, there was a scholarship jacket that was given to the valedictorian of the school, or the student who got the best grades over eight years of school. Marta was sure the jacket was hers as her sister had received and also because she had gotten straight A's since the first. Then by coincidence when she hears her teachers arguing about her and the scholarship jacket, she feels terrible as she wants and deserves the jacket. The next day she feels nervous and sad as the principal tells her that the jacket is now 15$ and not for free. He asks her to bring her the money the next day but her grandfather who is very poor says no. Marta is heartbroken at the sound of the news and with despair tells the principal he could give it to the girl who's father is an influential man in the community, unlike Marta's grandfather, a farmer. At the sound of this the principal reconsiders and gives her the jacket for free she feels extremely happy and overjoyed.
