THe main character in Rain of Gold is Lupe. Lupe is very shy especially when people talk about her beauty. Usually, when a stranger comes and says she is beautiful, she will just stay quiet and look away. One part of Lupe I find very interesting is her outlook on the world. For a 6 year old, it is pretty advanced. Lupe sees many of the main parts of her life as miracles. For example, when she wakes up, she calls it the first miracle of the day. Spending the morning with her family is another miracle. When the sun goes down, she calls it the final miracle of the day. I think that these ideas where told to her by her mother, Dona Guadalupe. Its the type of belief that mothers commonly tell their children, along with seeing every moment as an opportunity to do good deeds and achieve great things.
