Question

What happened in 1966, and what did this mean for Cisneros and her brothers? PLEASE HELP ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1966, Cisneros' parents managed to make a down payment on a small red bungalow, thus putting a stop to their often house shifting pattern. This allows the siblings to have a permanent school and not make new friends every time they move into a new location.

Explanation:

Sandra Cisneros is an American writer but with a Latin background. Brought up amidst poverty, and with Mexican immigrant father whose salary barely made ends meet. And along with the Senior Cisneros family still residing in Mexico City, the family had to make annual trips to the South American country.

And after each trip, the family would have to pack and move into a new apartment, a new location, and thus, new schools. This means there is no sense of permanency in their lives, especially the children. This greatly affected their life, especially Sandra who found it hard to make friends and have a feeling of belonging to a particular place.

In 1966, her parents managed to buy their own place, a small red bungalow which provides the family with a bit of permanent location. This ownership of a house of their own meant that she and her brothers will now no longer have to move around and change schools every year.
