Read the passage from “La Bamba” by Gary Soto. From “La Bamba” by Gary Soto

Manuel was the fourth of seven children and looked like a lot of kids in his neighborhood: black hair, brown face, and skinny legs scuffed from summer play. But summer was giving way to fall: The trees were turning red, the lawns brown, and the pomegranate trees were heavy with fruit. Manuel walked to school in the frosty morning, kicking leaves and thinking of tomorrow’s talent show. He was still amazed that he had volunteered. He was going to pretend to sing Ritchie Valens’s “La Bamba” before the entire school.

He wanted applause as loud as a thunderstorm and to hear his friends say, “Man, that was bad!” And he wanted to impress the girls, especially Petra Lopez, the second prettiest girl in his class. The prettiest was already taken by his friend Ernie. Manuel knew he should be reasonable since he himself was not great-looking, just average.
