From the quotation above, show that Gabriela is intelligent student, it can be corroboration with the effort to clutches her ambition become actress. She is
student Illinois Institute of Technology, study of chemical engineering. Beside, Gabriela join with drama course. It refers to quotation below:

Institute of Technology. During the day, she studied protein paths and the structure of benzene, but she spent her evenings with Ibsen,
Coward, and Shakespeare while attending a drama course paid for with money sent to her by her parents to buy clothes and course
books. She trained with the best professionals and had excellent teachers. Coelho 30
From the quotation above, Coelho describes Gabriela Physically from her perfect body, her face younger than her age and the intelligent student. It is all the
reason of Gabriela have ambition become actress.
The other way to know the characterization is from psychological. From the psychological appear, Gabriela is the ambitious person. In the story, Gabriela’s
ambition can be seen from her action about the effort to get her dream become actress, she want is fame, glory, and glamour.
And why does she want that chance? Quite simple. Because she knows she’s the best, despite her
experience at school — when she so disappointed her parents — and despite the challenges she’s faced since in order to prove to herself
that she can overcome difficulties, frustrations, and defeats. She was born to win and to shine, of that she has no doubt. Coelho 25
From the quotation above, explain that Gabriela’s ambition start from her failure, when she playing the part of drama “
Alice in Wonderland
” in her junior high school in Chicago. When she was eleven years old. It refers to the quotation
below:
digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id
She thinks back to when she was eleven years old and performing in her first school play at one of the most expensive schools in
Chicago. Her subsequent desire to succeed was not born of the unanimous acclaim she received from the audience, composed of
fathers, mothers, relatives, and teachers. Far from it. She was playing the Mad Hatter in
Alice in Wonderland
. She had got the part—one of the best roles in the play—after auditioning along with a lot of other
girls and boys. Her first line was: “Your hair wants cutting.” Then Alice would
reply: “You should learn not to make personal remarks, it’s very rude.”
When the long-awaited moment came, a moment she had rehearsed and rehearsed, she was so nervous that she got the line wrong and said
instead: “Your hair wants washing.” The girl playing Alice said her next line anyway, and the audience would never have noticed
anything was wrong if Gabriela, who knew she had made a mistake, hadn’t promptly lost the power of speech. Since the Mad Hatter was
an essential character if the scene was to continue, and since children are not good at improvising on stage although they improvise happily
enough in real life, no one knew what to do. Then, after several long minutes, during which the actors simply looked at each other, the
teacher started applauding, announced it was time for an interval, and ordered everyone offstage. Coelho 28
Based on the quotation above, it shows that the first failure of Gabriela, she is not only left the stage, she left the school in tears, her friends ganged up on
Gabriela and started beating her. Besides, she feels disappointing her mother, her family, and her teacher. From the incident, Gabriela has some willpower and
optimist to be an actress. “....her schoolmates expected her to scream and shout, and, when she
didn’t, rapidly lost interest. For with each blow, Gabriela was thinking:
“I’ll be a great actress one day and then you’ll be sorry.” Coelho 29.
From the quotation above, it shows that some people opt for revenge and try to be really good at whatever it is the others thought they could not do. Some
willpower of Gabriela to shows that she can do it better than before, and one day you will envy to me.
