The narrator's grandfather's statement is true. If the director had decided that he would not give the jacket to Marta, it would have been an injustice and an underestimation of her effort.
<h3>Why wasn't earning the Jacket a question of money?</h3>
- Because the jacket should be earned with academic performance.
- Because the jacket was given to the student who had good grades.
- Because the jacket was a reward for the student's effort.
Martha was a very dedicated student. She struggled to only get A's in all school activities so she could earn the jacket she's wanted all her life.
However, just as she could get the jacket, the principal changed the school's rules and stated that she had to pay 15 dollars to receive it. He did this because he knew Marta's family wouldn't pay the money and he wanted to give the jacket to another girl whose father was a local businessman.
Marta asked her grandfather for the money, but he said he wouldn't pay because the jacket shouldn't be given for money, but for dedication.
Marta knew it was true and that giving the jacket to another student was a very wrong and unfair attitude.
