rush. grandpa straightened up tiredly and leaned his chin on the hoe - handle. he looked out over the field that was filled with the tiny green bean plants. i waited, desperately hoping hed say i could have the money. he turned to me and asked quietly, \what does a scholarship jacket mean?\ i answered quickly; maybe there was a chance. \it means youve earned it by having the highest grades for eight years and thats why theyre giving it to you.\ too late i realized the significance of my words. grandpa knew that i understood it was not a matter of money. it wasnt that. he went back to hoeing the weeds that sprang up between the delicate little bean plants. it was a time - consuming job; sometimes the small shoots were right next to each other. finally he spoke again as i turned to leave, crying. \then if you pay for it, marta, its not a scholarship jacket, is it? tell your principal i will not pay the fifteen dollars.\ i walked back to the house and locked myself in the bathroom for a long time. i was angry with grandfather even though i knew he was right, and i was angry with the board, whoever they were. why did they have to change the rules just when it was my turn to win the jacket? those were the days of belief and innocence. paragraphs 17 - 20 questions 6. find evidence: highlight two pieces of dialogue from martas grandpa that changes her point of view. 7. write: how does marta feel about her grandfathers response to her situation?
