 * Becky Essay **


 * The story named Becky and the Wheels-and-Brake Boys was written by James Berry. It is about a girl who lives in Jamaica with her mother, sister, & her granny. Her name is Becky & in this story what she wants the most is a bike. But she can’t have one because she can’t afford it. Also they think that she is a tomboy because she wants a bike. Becky is a credible person because of the way she feels, says, & of what she does.**
 * First reason why Becky is a credible person is because she wants to fit in with the other kids. A quote that proves the statement is: “ I only want to be with Nat, Aldo, Jimmy, & Ben.” This shows that she wants to fit in like other kids want to instead of being a loner. This also shows that she is a credible person because all of kids want to fit in with the people.**
 * Second reason why she is a credible person is because she never gives up on begging her mom that she wants a bike. Becky tells herself “ Over & over I told my mom I wanted a bike.” This proves that Becky is a credible person because she keeps begging her mom that she wants a bike, but she cant have it because her mom can’t afford to buy her one but Becky never gives up. In comparison to a kid that is what a kid like her would do. This shows that she is credible because every child does beg their parents when they want something really bad.**
 * The last reason why Becky is a credible person is she gets in a fight with her best friend Shirnette because she puts a cockroach in her shirt. Becky says “ At playtime she opened the tin and let the cockroach fly into my blouse, I crushed up the cockroach in my blouse.” This isn’t what would really happen to kids but probably in Jamaica. But this still shows credibility because she gets creped out especially when she kills the cockroach in her blouse. This is credible because everyone has at least one fight with their best friend.**
 * In conclusion Becky, the main character in “Becky & The Wheels & Brake Boys,” is believable because of her emotions, her words, & her actions. That means she is your average child. I think that if Becky was actually in this world she would be a really good person.**
