Question

In what ways do past years stay with a person through time? [Interpret]​

Answer 1

Answer:

Past years stay with a person through time because even when the person clocks a new age, the attitude and behaviors of younger ages might not be given up immediately.

Explanation:

The book "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros tells the story of Rachel who just clocked eleven. On that day in class, she was accused by the teacher of owning an ugly red sweater. She denied that the sweater belonged to her. But a fellow student named Sylvia Saldivar attested to the claim that the sweater belonged to Rachel. Her emotions gave her away for she started crying in the class when she was forced to wear the sweater by the teacher.

So, even though she just clocked eleven, her past years of 3, 5, or 7 still stayed with her for she could not hold in her feelings like a mature girl but wept like a baby.
