ELEVEN''

Eleven 
By 
Sandra Cisneros
The author Sandra Cisneros, captures the innocence and insecurity of a teennageer named 
Rachel, that experiences a mixed of emotions during scholl when she calls girls in her
class ''stupid.'' 
The diction as we can see is very normal for the audience to understand, because the
main
character is only eleven years old. The content of the essay is composed of simple
language that
charaterized Rachel, as a normal teenager that is going through transitions by growing
up. One of the
major reasons for easy interpretation and connection is done by the effective use of
syntax, and
tone. The reader can comprehend the estate of mind and the athsmosphere that Rachael was
involved, because Cisneros captures the personality that Rachel had every time she became
older. 
For example, we see Rachels insecurity when she repeateded her thoughts through out the
passage. 
The introduccion to the story is composed of numbers. The significance of them has a
powerful meaning to Rachel. They express the fellings of yesterday, but the only
diffeence to her is
that today she is eleven and yesterday she was ten. Rachel brings out her innocence when
she says''
Like some days you might say nothing stupid, and that's the part of you that 's still
ten''. By doing this
the author uses simple language to connect with the audience by the use of simmilies. For
example,
when Rachel created a connection between the ring inside a tree and the way people grow.
The
interpretation to this could be that humans like to relate to the past in order to a be
better person in
the future and to understand how life works. 
Another important fact, is when Rachel said, '' Mamma is making a cake for me for
tonight,
and when Papa comes home everybody will sing Happy birthday, happy bithday to you.'' Here
we
see that family was a big part in her life, she uses happy memories with her family to
get away from
the horror and abused that she experienced at school. The tone of the passage is of a
typical eleven
grader, it is express in thoughtful ways, how Rachel understood things in order to make
sense of
her feelings and thoughts. email me at a_coolguy56@yahoo.com please
