In the story Marble Champ By Gary Soto, Lupe loses self confidence in herself. Throughout the story, she learns that perseverance, determination, and thinking positive will lead to success. Pieces of evidence in the story support that.
To start, one evidence Lupe loses self confidence is on paragraph 2 it says, “She begged her boys to move faster.” This shows that she knows she won’t be fast, therefore she pleads for it. Another evidence is on paragraph 4 Lupe says, “I’ll never be good at sports.” This is also showing that Lupe thinks she will have no success at being good at sports. One more evidence is when Lupe says, “I wish I could be good at something, anything, even marbles.” This shows that she is fumed that she is not winning anything.
