This short story was a powerful read in my point of view, and I absolutely loved it. It's quick and easy to get through, filled with a symbolism that can shoot over one's head. To me, it is a story that can either be taken at face-value or interpreted subjectively.I've never thought about birthdays in the way it is described here. I never thought about growing up in such a poignant and beautiful way, never thought about all the pretending we do and how at every stage of our life we wish we were
Name:Frankie “Eleven” The world can be a very tough place for someone who is diffident and lacks self confidence, especially for a kid. In the story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisnaros, the main character Rachel is very diffident. I think this is because Rachel did not Speak up when Sylvia Saldivar says that the ugly sweater is Rachel’s, Rachel never speaks up to the teacher, and finally Rachel never spoke up to Phyllis Lopez. In the story Eleven I think that Rachel is diffident because Rachel did not
Every year of age the other feelings tag along Like The age 3, Rachel cried like she was 3. Would not speak to the teacher like if she cant talk and just say Blah Like if she 3. Every year of age the other feelings tag alone like The age 5. Rachel would sit in her mom lap like if she was 5, would say dume stuff that didn't make sense, Rachel would also throw stuff like if she 5Every year of age the other feelings tag alone like 11, After Rachel going thro all of that she finally thought she was
Eleven is one of my favorite short stories, although the last time I read it was about 25 years ago. I like that Cisneros... ... gets what it's like to be caught betwitx and between childhood and adulthood – not wanting to be immature and emotionally uncontrolled, but not yet having the emotional and cognitive skills to be able to handle life well. Still, eleven-year-old Rachel comes alive for me, and her voice remained memorable decades later.... recognizes that you don't stop being 10, just be...
I think in the book eleven it teaches you to not blame someone even if you know that it was them. And this happened to Rachel and what happened was that the teacher Mrs price found a red sweater and she ask whos it was and no one said anything but then sylvia sadivar said that it was Rachael and the teacher agreed but rachel said it wasint hers .but the teacher said it was hers and puts it on her desk she push it to coner of her desk and the teacher says to put it on and Rachel say no and then t...
4.5 “That’s not, I don’t, you’re not…Not mine.” I finallysay in a little voice that was maybe me when I was four.“Of course it’s yours,” Mrs. Price says. “I rememberyou wearing it once.” Because she’s older and the teacher,she’s right and I’m not. Oh to be eleven. Such a hard age to begin with. Rachel, the main character, is disappointed about her birthday. She doesn't feel like she turned eleven. She doesn't feel any different. She explains how in reality, we are all the ages at once...
On the story Eleven The main idea of this story is your actions and thinking doesn't represent your physical age. This story is a little girl called Rachel din't know how to express her on opinion bravely. For example when she say I don't, you're not.......not mine it shows that she couldn't express her opinion bravely. For a eleven years old girl, she suppose to express her opinion bravely, but she was too shy to say a word, it make her feel like a four year girl; however I really recommend you...
In the short story, "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros, I recommend this book a little because it's a little fun. I liked this book because it was a little funny in the part of the sweater, well I am not going to spoiled it to you but it was a little boring at the beginning. When we read it with the class most people give it a 4 stars but I give it a 3 stars. I recommend this book but read it with another person too I'll sound better.
Eleven is a well known story of multiple pictures the story shows unfairness, emotions revealing actions, first person thinking it's well-known that Rachel wishes but she wasn't 11. On that day she could be 10 or 9 or 6 or 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 just not 11 what she wanted is go have a different teacher she wonder why her teacher is acting rude like she it was never been so what if she says something about “revealing actions” something that you never experienced with someone it's a life lesson t
