**// Becky essay //**
 * // The story “Becky and the Wheels and Brake Boys” is written by James Berry. This story is about a young girl that wants a bike but her mother disagrees with her idea. Becky is a credible character. Because how she acts, in the story how she feels, and what she says.//**
 * //First of all, Becky is credible because she begs her mom for what she wants, a bike. In the story Becky says, “Over and over again I told my mum I wanted a bike.” She really wants a bike more than anything, so she pleads to her mom. This proves that Becky is a realistic character because a lot of kids bug their parents for what they want.//**
 * //Secondly, Becky is a believable character because she fought with her friend and got angry with her. Becky thinks to herself, “For the first time Shirnette and me had a real fight because of what I hated the most.” She was mad at Shirnette because Shirnette let a cockroach fly down Becky’s blouse. She is credible because friends frequently fight with each other.//**
 * //The third reason why Becky is credible is because she asks for some help to learn how to ride a bike. Becky asks the Wheel and the Brake Boys,” Can somebody teach me to ride?” Becky doesn’t have a bike because in her neighborhood girls aren’t encouraged to ride them. She wants to be a part of the group, so she ask them to teach her a new skill. Becky stands up for what she wants just like any kid would.//**
 * //In conclusion, Becky’s action, her emotions, and her words prove that she is a credible character. I know a person my neighborhood that acts just like her.//**
