How is victor like the narrator in “oranges” ?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Victor in 'Seventh Grade' and the narrtor in 'Oranges' are identical as they both tries to impress a girl by being or offering something that they did not have.

Explanation:

Gary Soto is the author of these two texts 'Seventh Grade', a short story and 'Oranges', a poem. The protagonist of these two texts are somewhat identical.

The protagonist of 'Seventh Grade' is Victor, a seventh graders who likes a girl, Teressa, and tries to impress her by pretending that he knows French. Victor tries to pretend that he knows French which impresses Teressa and after class she asks him if they could study together.

In the similar manner, the narrator of poem 'Oranges' tries to impress his date by asking her to buy any candy, when in reality he had only a nickel, which means he would be able to buy her that candy only that costs a nickel. But the narrator wants to impress his date and thus asks her to buy any candy that she wants and that he would pay for it.

Both the protagonists of these two texts are somewhat identical as they both tried to impress girl by being what they are not, in case of Victor, being good at French when in reality he is not, and in case of the narrator, by making the girl believe he is have enough money to buy any candy, when in reality did not.
