Amigos

“The Amigo Brothers”, by Piri Thomas, is a story taken place in New York City in 1927. Felix Vargas and Antonio Cruz are two best friends who both love to box. Both boys are scheduled to fight each other in the Golden Gloves Championship Tournament. A major lesson in this story is to not give up, even if you’re facing an obstacle. From the moment of the story, the reader can see the nervousness from both boys because of the fight they are scheduled to do. “Man. I don’t know how to come out

Amigo Brothers The short story, “Amigo Brothers” by Piri Thomas is a realistic fiction story that was published in 1978 and in my opinion is excellent. As a reader, I like stories with an unexpected ending and this story had just that. In this story there are two really good friends that love to box. They both enter into a tournament and end of having to box each other. “They have been informed that they were to meet each other in the division finals”. This was a good conflict because they both

The story “Amigo Brothers” is written by Piri Thomas. It is about two Puerto Rican teenagers who are best friends. They live in the same apartment building, which is located on the lower east side of Manhattan. The boys are both talented boxers who are competing against each other in an upcoming boxing match. These boy’s names are Felix and Antonio. Although these two are close friends, they have their differences. But they also have their many similarities. As said before, both Felix and Antonio

By summing them up, we get a closer look at what the main characters go through. In "Fish Cheeks," the lead feels bad and shy about her culture, but learns to be proud and love where she comes from. In "Amigo Brothers," Antonio and Felix are best friends who have to fight each other in a boxing ring. This tests their bond, but shows how deep

because lying will always get people in trouble and people will get hurt if they are told a lie. People who lie get nowhere in life. Amy’s mom, Felix, and Tera are all honest. There are two short stories and a novel that show honesty like “Fish Cheeks”, Amigo brothers, and “A Work of Art”. In all three stories they show honesty because they know that being honest is the right thing to do than to lie. In the story, “Fish Cheeks”, Amy’s mom sees that Amy doesn’t want to be chinese she wants to be be American

can have different outcomes. For example, in fiction stories that are historical not everyone has a winner. There can even be times that they have winners but shouldn't have not won. In my opinion conflicts can end different ways. For example, in " Amigo Brothers" both won which was a tie. Either way, they both one washing to win. Neither one of them gave up; based on their ways of winning they both knew they were going to end up having a tie. Other problems can have just losers. A good example is

The stories “Charles”, “A Crush”, “Amigo Brothers”, and “Seventh Grade” are all interesting stories, but a great book for middles school students to read is “Charles” by Shirley Jackson. The story is about a kid named Laurie, who told his parents that another kid named Charles, was making very bad decisions at school but it really ended up being Laurie who did these things and there was no Charles. The short story “Charles” is a great story for middle school students because it teaches students about

It was a nice and sunny day I was in my back yard when I saw my son Antonio jogging along the river with his best friend Felix. I am Antonio’s mother and I live on the lower east side of Manhattan in an apartment building. Felix also lives in the same building as me and Antonio. Ever since Antonio was little boy he wanted to be a lightweight boxing champion and so did Felix which is one reason why they are such good friends they even have four boxing medals. Every day they would train and run together
