Literary Essay: Seventh Grade
By Ian H
Have you ever had a crush on someone that you cant stand not being or impressing them? Victor has a huge crush on Teresa from the start to the finish. As it kind of said in the book “Seventh Grade” By Garry Soto on page 52 “Teresa is going to be my girl this year” as she is his dream girl. This helps my claim because its saying that they are going to be best friends or maybe even more then friends. This explains she is his crush by a lot of reasons.
My second reason to prove that he has a huge crush on he is that he stares at himself every sing day before school to make sure he looks okay for her. And she is his crush and he wants to look okay for her because maybe it will be his special day in scoring Teresa in friendship or maybe more.
And my third reason is that on page 57 he tries to impress her by saying he know French and studied it before. As it saying “As Victor has a long blank as everybody stared” and that shows he is trying to impress he big time as he wanting her to ask for tutoring from him so they can be closer. And those are my three reasons about my claim that Victor has a huge crush on Teresa. Witch backfires on him by embaressing himself in front of the whole class. and that happend because of they things and how he acts when he is by Teresa.
So have you ever really have done anything to impress someone? Or dont know what to say to your crush? If so you are relatable to Victor in Seventh Grade by Gary Soto. Victor is madly in love.
