The Marble Champ

As I began reading the account statement The Marble Champ by Gary Soto, I agnise that the main character, Lupe Medrano, often compares herself to another(prenominal)s. As a result, she feels ill about her athletic abilities. She seems to think that shes only skilful at something in which she can win. Right at the start of the story, Lupes accomplishments are impressive. scarcely all Lupe seems to keep is that she cannot run as fast as the other girls in school.Another example of Lupe comparing herself to others is when she describes her ado with team sports. The text clearly says that Lupe was no commodity at sports. Lupe seems embarrassed that she isnt the star lander of the team. Lupe also feels badly that she only recently learned to scold a bike, could only walk in a swimming pool, and rollerblade if her dad held her hand. This shows that Lupe is frustrated that she isnt the best at everything.As Lupe began to think about these things, she had the idea of knowledge to play marbles. She made the decision to teach herself to play and began feeling hopeful about being respectable at something which she can compete against others. This reminds me of myself when I am feeling out of practice in something. I compare myself to other people and feel insecure. But when I focus on my positive qualities, I find that I can do a erect job. I hope Lupe keeps up her good attitude and feels proud of herself soon.
