What I would I say right now to my main character-Manuel

           I would say to Manuel that he needs to just go out the stage and sing his hardest. I would also say that he needs to try his hardest. I would tell him this because he is singing in a talent show. I would also say that he needs to be confident but not too confident. I would tell him this because he needs a little bit of confidence but not too much because then he might get too cocky and mess up. I would also tell him that he needs to remember his words and just keep on rehearsing them in his head. He needs to do this so he doesn't mess up on his words and embarrass himself in front of a bog crown of people. I would tell him that he would do great and to make sure to smile in front of the big crowd.
           After Manuel was done that his performance I would tell him that he did great. I would tell him this because in the book it said that the crowd went wild for him. I would also tell him that it was okay that his music repeated over and over again. I would tell him this because he was scared that he had embarrassed himself because his music repeated over and over. I would also tell him to be happy with his performance because he did really good and covered up the mistake in the music well. I would also tell him that he should be proud of himself because not everyone has the courage to go up in front of a lot of people and sing in front of them. I would tell him that he did a fantastic job and that he should do it again next year.
