Cisneros saw how her father acted towards her brother and she wanted to be seen as important in his eyes as well but her father always diverted his attention to his sons. Her fathers neglect is what pushed her to write because she wanted to earn his approval. By the end of the story we see that Cisneros did not only become a published writer, she finally got the approval from her father which was the most amazing thing that could have happened to her. ]]> 2018-01-31 18:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adriannabrowne82/7g4exqp9mfni/wish/226746270
