Martin's attitude was mean and kinda like he was angry for no reason. For example, he calls Arturo a Churroso and makes Arturo do more and more dishes.
ReplyDeleteIriana-Mulick He is selfish
DeleteKamiah at congress
Delete"And most important it is about love. love is two spirits meeting joining together hold each other helping raise each other from the earth.it is born in the journey of looking for each other fed by the need to be together."
Maryann@KOS.I super agree he was really mean
DeleteHe is a hater. To prove this is 'cause in the text he calls Arturo Churroso. As in "filthy one".
Deletemyers@coit
Mr. J@Brookside
DeleteI think that the reason he is being meanis because Arturo is Abuela's favorite. It is his chance to tease Arturo a little bit.
Martin's character displays a bad and rude attitude. In the text Martin calls Arturo "Churroso" and yells at him rudely. Martin is acting like the boss of the kitchen when Arturo's mom is.
ReplyDeleteI think Martin's attitude displays kinda bad person because he's being bossy and he try's to be as active and try's to be faster then Aurtoro in the kitchen he is bossy only because he's trying to act cooler and bossier to Aurtoro only because he has a better job then Aurtoro.
ReplyDeleteThe attitude martin that he was like angery at the kid/ i don't know the name for lots if things like be one minute late, be like the dishwasher was going to eat you and that he was mean.
ReplyDeleteI think Martin's attitude displays kinda bad person because he's being bossy and he try's to be as active and try's to be faster then Aurturo in the kitchen he is bossy only because he's trying to act cooler and bossier to Aurtoro only because he has a better job then Aurturo.
ReplyDeleteI think the attitude Martin displays is Bossy because in the text when Arturo gets the job, Martin is/hears like he's having an (no offense) attitude that most bossy people would have. Another example is when the Dishwasher didn't clean a plate all the way, Arturo had to clean the dirty dish in front of Martin, while Martin was pressuring Arturo to do so. Also, why would Arturo call Martin,"Jabba the chef?" It wouldn't make sense if Martin was nicer, and why would Arturo make fun of someone else?
ReplyDeleteMartin's attitude is a harsh and a bit bossy.Perhaps he is jealous of Arturo because he said " you might be the favorite out there." I thought he should have at least done a load with him to teach him properly. He should imagine how he would feel if Arturo did that to him.
ReplyDeleteIn the book and through out,I think Martin's attitude is, strict,and mean.I think this because, in the chapter we read yesterday, Martin was being strict and rude to Arturo! (who just started his job) He was bossing him around, and he was also being specific on a lot of things. He was also calling Arturo names. Which brings me to my conclusion.
ReplyDeleteBen-Coit
ReplyDeleteMartin is very disciplining, has very little patience, and is very mean.
Quick and short. I like it
DeleteMartin is a very serious yet jealous man (I don't know his age .-.) His way of speaking to Arturo was very rude.I mean..he just started his job hes a rookie but he claims him as churruso. Meaning "Filthy One", I find this very rude because Arturo is just a young boy trying to work as his family buisness failing to get the job he desires. But Martin proceeds to humiliate him having NO patience for him acting like a manager which brings us to the whole conclusion. Martin makes readers feel a bit absurd but not really just for the way he acts. :P
ReplyDeleteMerinaz-KOS I really like your response.
DeleteI agree with you, I wrote something in my answer similar to yours. p.s. You forgot to write your name, and your school name -Nanda@KOS
DeleteKenneth-Mulick
ReplyDeleteI think Martin is a person that does not have patience because he rushes people a lot.Like in ch. two
😠
Grace@KOS
DeleteI kindle agree.
Maryann@KOS I agree he rushes people a lot
DeleteRiley@congress
ReplyDeleteJose' Marti' inspired Arturo to Carmen/CARSAN2121and inspired him to fight for the restaurant/ La Cocina De la Isla. And for what he wants and for what he really wants and for family
Nanda-KOS
ReplyDeleteI think Martin is a guy that has very little patience and he thinks he's in control of everything because on page.21 Martin said "That clock is not your friend. I. Am not your friend. I. Am your boss." I also think he is a cruel and a bad boss. I don't think he's friendly too. because on page.22 Martin said "What are you scanning around for? Nobody's here to protect you. You might be the favorite out there, but in this kitchen you're mine!"
Martin is very rude and unkind. I know this because it says on page 21 "You are late! That clock is not your friend. I. Am not your friend. I. Am your boss.
ReplyDeleteDaniel.E-C.A. Frost
I think that martin is a little bossy to and martin was so mean and martin said that he was not your''friend am your boss that was so bossy and mean about that
ReplyDeleteedson-buchanan i think that i agree to beacuse martin was too bossy
DeleteHe is giving Arturo a hard time with his job,and he wants Arturo to do good on his job in a bad way. He is calling him Churroso and said, "did Churroso ruin his basketball tee-tee."lucas@KOS
ReplyDeletebreyon-campus
ReplyDeletei dont like when that guy threw the dishes at arturo
Grace@KOS
ReplyDeleteMartin was a really mean chef boss because,on page 21 chapter 2 says " As soon as I entered the kitchen, Martin threw a apron at me." "You're late!" said Martin.
I Jeremiah-campus except the rules of this blog he felt a mean guy
ReplyDeleteMaryann@KOS. Martin want every thing to be absolutely perfect. He over worked Arturo with lots and lots of dishes. Arturo is soaked from washing so many dishes really fast. So Martin rushes people and want every thing perfect.
ReplyDeleteMerinaz-KOS I believe that Martin is a rude and impatient person. He calls Arturo "churruso" and always rushes him. Arturo doesn't like his personality very much and neither do I.
ReplyDeleteKobe@kos
ReplyDeleteI think Martin is a selfish, souless dishwasher that looks like Jabba the Hutt. On pg 22 is where I found my response.
Isabelle Shawmut Hills. Martins attitude was mean and rude. He was yelling at Arturo to get back to work a lot. Also right when Arturo walked in Martin threw an apron at him and yelled "Your late!" and Arturo was actually only 1 minute late.
ReplyDeletemartins attitude is mean and selfish arturo is new to the dishwashing job and he was just straight up rude he was mad at him over being one minute late one minute he is my least favorite character
ReplyDeleteJeffrey-Campus I think that Martin is very stricked and mean because he wants him to be there super early and and wants the dishes to be completely spot less.

when Arturo had misted one speck of food martin yelled at Arturo, and then made him wash it again in front of him in till he could see him face in it. That is why i think Martin is rude and stuck up.

"you're late" i looked at the clock it was one minute after nine,Martin followed my eyes and pointed at the clock,"That clock is not your friend" i am not your friend i am your boss.you are expected to be here at nine o'clock i better see you here at eight fifty five at least five minutes before your shift notg one minute after your shift. i call that mean because he's basically telling him that he is no one and has no friends.

ReplyDeleteMartin is a big guy that was like the boss of Arturo, He bossed Arturo around and told him what to do. He was harsh on Arturo. If Arturo made one small mistake Martin would yell at him and tell him to better.On page.24 Martin said "Martin glanced over and scoffed, pointing to a tiny speck on one of the plates." And "He shoved the plate into my chest and made me hand wash it in front of him."
