Most of Cisneros' classmates (at the University of Iwoa) were people from more materially privileged backgrounds than Cisneros'

Mainly descendents of European immigrants to the U.S. 

Cisneros attempted to use their kinds of subjects, characters, and settings in her own writing, but in the end, was unhappy with the results

She decided to "rebel" by writing about the neighborhoods in which she had grown up
