I enjoyed the way that Mr. Soto described the weather and the lovely girl that he first held hands with and the way the candy was tiered in the store. Also, the rhythm flowed nicely throughout the whole poem. Poetry that rhymes and flows easily holds my attention more than poetry that doesn’t rhyme. As stated before, Gary Soto writes mostly about Mexican-American culture and the farming industry in central California but what I enjoyed about “Oranges” is the description of the first love of this young man and how he impressed the girl he was with when he used an orange to help buy the chocolate that she picked out. It reminded me of myself in my youth when my first love gave me a hand drawn picture of on oriole that he drew for me for Valentine’s Day.
Jan also needs to demonstrate that she has a desire to restore the well-being of their friendship. Jan repeated saying, “I’m sorry, okay?” is not helping the situation at all.

The reader assumes that they are what they represent themselves as, only to learn that no one is how they seem. The transformation of each character provides the reader with an indication of the true character. Each character evolves from what seems flat into a three dimensional being with faults and strengths. While Mrs. Hopewell continues to live her life with blinders on, and Mrs. Freeman continues to interfere everywhere but neglects to see her own daughter’s faults, the characters of Manly and Hulga provide the reader with the sense that no one is as they seem. Hulga enters the relationship with Manly to teach him the ways of the world, and ends up learning an important lesson herself.
She realises that the knowledge she has is something to be grateful for (although at his stage she is not willing to pursue it) and she accepts that there is something positive about Anys.

My friends and I started giggling and whispering to each other about her because we thought she looked kind of funny. One day during recess time, my friends went up to her and asked whether or not she lived in a barn with the other farm animals, they started laughing at her. I however, did not because the moment I saw the expression on the new girl’s face it broke my heart. I thought to myself I wonder how I’d feel being a new student and being laughed at because of my differences from others, I knew how bad that would feel so I went up to my friends and told them to stop making fun of her. They ended up getting mad at me and I ended up making friends with the new girl.
