“Inside Out” by Francisco Jimenez is a realistic short story about a ten or ten year old kid who goes to a English school and he only knows knows Spanish. In the beginning Francisco parents move to America not knowing any English. In the middle when he goes to school he had know idea what anyone was saying because they all spoke in English. In the end people didn't know what he’s saying but they didn’t care just because he only knew Spanish. This story shows that it is not what's on the outside like only knowing Spanish it is what's on the inside which is being nice and thoughtful.
One way Francisco is getting bowled is when the class made fun of his Spanish because everyone spoke English. For example, in paragraph ten, the author says, “some of them looked at me and giggled.” The example shows that he is getting laughed at because he speaks a different language and he is a different race. This is important because Francisco is scared because he doesn't understand English. Francisco was humiliated when kids were laughing at him. …show more content…
For example, in paragraph six, the author says, “some of the kids were yelling at the top of there lungs. I did not know what they were saying. I was getting a headache.” that example shows he doesn't understand English. This is important because it shows he can't understand English and he was feeling frightened because he has to go to a English speaking school everyday.
Another way Francisco is getting bowled is when he tries to say something in English and he says it wrong and then the whole class laughs at him. For example, in paragraph two, the author says, “some of the kids made fun of me when I tried to say something in English and got it wrong. He went on. I had to repeat first grade.” that example means he can't speak English and when he tries his best he still gets laughed at. This is important because it shows how hard his life is at this
