Climax

The principal tells Martha that she must pay $15 if she wanted to receive the jacket. A disappointed Martha asks her Grandfather for the money, but he refuses to. He says that if she payed the $15, it wouldn't be scholarship jacket anymore. She understands what her grandfather was saying to her and later tells the principal that her grandfather refuses to pay for the jacket.

Rising Action

Falling Action

When Martha goes to pick up her P.E shorts, she over hears her two teachers, Mr.Schmidt and Mr.Boone, talking about her in her classroom, it catches her attention and she ends up eavesdropping on their whole conversation. She was very disappointed to hear that she might lose the jacket to Joann just because her father was in the school Board and that Martha was Mexican.

The principal said that he would make an exception in her case, in which she wouldn't have to pay for the jacket. Martha gets very joyful when hearing this news. She smiles because she will receive the jacket after all.

The next day, the principal calls Martha down to his office. Very important news will be told to her.

Exposition

The main characters:

Martha: an intelligent Mexican American girl in eighth grade who lives on her grandfather's farm.

Martha's Grandpa: a strong-willed and determined farmer who cares about Martha.

The School Principal:a man that is caring for all of the students at the school.

The story is told by Marta's point of view in 1st person.

Resolution

This story takes place in Texas. Two main areas are Marta's school and her grandfather's farm. It's a warm time of year in Texas in this story... the sunny season of spring in the month of May.

Martha has gotten the highest grades in the school for the past 8 years, so she will receive the scholarship jacket, which is given to the person who does so. Martha is very excited to get it, but a small conflict involving money and discrimination comes her way.

Martha couldn't believe her ears; she is so excited to get the scholarship jacket. After school, she goes home and tells her grandpa. Martha tells him that she will get the scholarship jacket for free, and it was all thanks to what her grandfather said to her. Her grandfather just smiled and gave her a pat on the shoulder.

Theme

THE SCHOLARSHIP JACKET

PLOT DIAGRAM-

SHORT STORY

We believe that the theme of "The Scholarship Jacket" is that you should fight for your rights and don't give into the discrimination of others. We think this is the theme because in the story, Martha main conflict was against discrimination; just because Joann's father was the head of the Board, she was going to get the scholarship jacket. If Martha's grandfather hadn't justified why the scholarship jacket should have been free, Joann would have earned a reward she didn't deserve. Martha's grandfather proved that if you believe something different than others and can prove it, you can get what you want by speaking up for yourself.

(hale goes outside. the sheriff follows the county attorney into the other room. then mrs. hale rises, hands tight together, looking intensely at mrs. peters, whose eyes take a slow turn, finally meeting mrs. hale’s. a moment mrs. hale holds her, then her own eyes point the way to where the box is concealed. suddenly mrs. peters throws back quilt pieces and tries to put the box in the bag she is wearing. it is too big. she opens box, starts to take the bird out, cannot touch it, goes to pieces, stands there . sound of a knob turning in the other room. mrs. hale snatches the box and puts it in the pocket of her big coat. enter county attorney and sheriff.) county attorney (facetiously). well, henry, at least we found out that she was not going to quilt it. she was going to—what is it you call it, ladies! mrs. hale (her hand against her pocket). we call it—knot it, mr. henderson. what changes might a director or screenwriter make to the original version of this scene in order to best emphasize the mood? cut dialogue from the scene to make it a more appropriate length update the setting to appeal to a more modern-day audience omit the actions of the characters to avoid confusion and chaos include the use of lighting, camera angles, and sound effects
