Drew’s Reviews > The Jacket > Status Update

Gary is a very grateful boy. After he asked his mom for a cool new jacket and got an ugly guacamole 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 even has one.
