Gary is a very grateful boy. After he asked his mom for a cool new jacket and got an ugly avocado- colored one, he was still thankful for it. In the story, Gary, "threw the jacket onto his brother's bed and looked at it for a long time before slipping it on and going to the backyard, smiling a thank you to his mom"(4). This shows that even though Gary doesn't like his jacket, he is still grateful he has one.
