Rodriguez, Edith March 3,2009 Period 2/3 Becky Essay The story “Becky and the Wheels- and –Brake Boys” was written by James Berry. It tells of a girl, Becky, who wants a bike but can’t get one until the end of the story. Becky is a credible character. She shows she is credible through what she feels, says, and does. Becky is believable because what she felt was that she did not fit in with all the other kids. For example Becky thinks, “I only want to be with Nat, Aldo, Jimmy, and Ben.” They all have bikes and she wants one too, so she can ride and play with them. This proves that Becky is credible because lots of children have a time when they want something that will help will help them fit in with other children. Another reason why Becky is credible is because she keeps on asking her mom for a bike over and over again. Becky says to herself “Over and over I told my mom I wanted a bike”. Becky wants a bike, but her mom does not let her and Becky begs over and over again. This shows credibility because many children beg parents to get what they want. The last reason why Becky is credible is that she fought with her friend, Shirnette, and then she made up with Shirnette. As an example, “For the first time me and Shirnette had a real fight, because of what I hated most.”Shirnette wanted to get back at Becky had had put a centipede up her shirt, so she got even by putting a cockroach in Becky’s blouse. This proves that Becky is a realistic character because lots of best friends get in fights, but then they make up. In conclusion, Becky the main character in “Becky and the Wheels and Brake Boys” is believable because of her emotions, her words, and her actions. That means that she is your average kid.
