In paragraph 5 Cisneros writes, "Today I wish I was one hundred and two instead of eleven because if i was one hundred and two I'd have known what to say when Mrs.Price put the red sweater on my desk. I would of known how to tell her it wasn't mine instead of just sitting there with that look on my face and nothing coming out of my mouth."  This highlighting the exposition of the story and showing that Rachel believes if she were one hundred and two she would of known how to deal with the situation.  ]]> 2021-09-17 14:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748838829 tarangosheila https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748840022 Three main details that may reveal the location, time, and season are written in paragraph 6 and 13.  In paragraph 6 Mrs.Price asks the class who the red sweater belongs to. "Who's is this? Mrs.price says, and she holds the red sweater up in the air for all the class to see. Who's? it's been sitting in the coatroom for a month." That showing that the location might be at a school and it may be around the colder seasons. In addition, in paragraph 13 Rachel is thinking to herself, how long before lunchtime. " In my head i'm thinking how long till lunchtime, how long till I can take the red sweater and throw it over the schoolyard fence." Once again stating that the story is taken place at a school and indicating that it may be the first half of her school day since she is waiting for it to be lunchtime. ]]> 2021-09-17 14:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748840022 tarangosheila https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748840596 The setting affects the reader because if the writer fails to describe the setting in rich descriptions, the reader wont be able to visualize it and fail to fully comprehend the meaning of the story, get the full picture, understand where the character is coming from. In paragraph 13 it shows a good example of how the setting and details can affect the reader. "Except when math period ends Mrs. Price says out loud and in front of everybody. Now, Rachel, that's enough,  because she sees i've shoved the red sweater to the tippy-tip corner of my desk and its hanging all over the edge like a waterfall, but i don't care." Cisneros gives the reader a good description of what is going on at that very moment. Such as, how Rachel feels, whats she's thinking in her head, why Mrs.Price said what she said, and gave us enough description to help the reader visualize how the sweater was set on Rachels desk. Affecting the reader in a positive way.

That deepens the understanding of the story to the reader.
"That's not, I don't, You're not....not mine. I finally say in a little voice..." That text includes a sequence of event. It shows how Rachel finally speaks up. ]]> 2021-09-17 14:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748850576 tarangosheila https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748851234 The narrator of the text is Rachel. The story is written from her perspective, like if she was explaining her day to someone.  Paragraph 5 is a great detail that can convey that. It shows how Rachel  is introducing the main reason of her story and beginning to tell the reader about her situation.  It also uses a lot of "I, mine, i've, and i'm."  Paragraph 18 is another good detail that shows Rachel is the narrator, "That's when everything i've been holding in since this morning, since when Mrs.Price put the sweater on my desk, finally let go and all of a sudden i'm crying in front of everybody. I wish I was invisible but i'm not..." ]]> 2021-09-17 14:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748851234 tarangosheila https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748851805 If the narrators distance is wide the reader wont create an attachment with the character since wider distanced narratives most of the time take a longer explaining the situation or the cause than showing the affects or go in depth with what the character is feeling, doing, thoughts. Rather with a short narrators distance the reader will be able to connect with the character due to there being more details and a deeper explanation of what the character is going through. The story Eleven is a short narrative only 21 paragraphs long. The situation was resolved before lunch. "But the worst part is right before the bell rings for lunch. That stupid Phylis Lopez, who is even dumber than Sylvia Saldivar, say she remembers the red sweater is hers. I take it off right away and give it to her, only Mrs. Price pretends like everything's okay." ]]> 2021-09-17 14:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tarangosheila/eynho6tm31bg1eeu/wish/1748851805
