Because of her unique background, Cisneros is very different from traditional American writers. She has something to say that they don't know about. She also has her own way of saying it. Her first book, The House on Mango Street, is an elegant literary piece, somewhere between fiction and poetry. She doesn't just make up characters, but writes about real people that she has encountered in her lifetime. Cisneros' work explores issues that are important to her: feminism, love, oppression, and religion. ]]> 2017-10-20 11:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mionetsai/e9hcjho3x4cf/wish/199009121 mionetsai https://padlet.com/mionetsai/e9hcjho3x4cf/wish/199020862 2017-10-20 12:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mionetsai/e9hcjho3x4cf/wish/199020862 mionetsai https://padlet.com/mionetsai/e9hcjho3x4cf/wish/199021923 2017-10-20 12:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mionetsai/e9hcjho3x4cf/wish/199021923
