Literature Analysis #1

The book I'm reading is titled Breaking Through by Francisco Gimenez. What drew me to read this book is the fact that is written by a person who is Mexican just like me. Someone who had the same problems I face everyday. I expected to get motivation to overcome the problems I'm facing and the ones I'll face in the future. I kept reading it because it was getting interesting and interesting. Everything starts when the author describes his family a hard working family, who works in the fields. Through out the story the author describes the problems he faced to get educated. He clearly states that his main goal was to go to a university even though they were a lot of obstacles he made his dream true. The tone is a cheerful tone. One example of direct characterization is the author's father, the author describes how he didn't wanted him to study. Which shows that his father was a person who didn't value education. An example of indirect characterization is Mr. Kinkade who was his counselor and explained him what he needed to do become a teacher . In my opinion the protagonist is a static character because he never changed he always did what he had to do in order to achieve his goal. After reading the book I can tell a had met the author because there a part where the fathers author say's "only rich people can become teacher" in other words he means that only rich people can go to university. Those are the same words a lot of my family members tell me.
