Further Explanation:

Eleven is a short story that was written by the author, Sandra Cisneros. She has won many awards for her writing such as the “Genius Grant."

The story is centered around a young girl named Rachel and takes place in her 4th grade math class. It is her birthday and throughout the story she keeps thinking how she still feels like she is 10 years old. In the story, the teacher is told a red sweater that was left in a closet was her by other students, and Rachel hates the red sweater and it's not hers. The teacher made her put the sweater on and this made Rachel cry in front of her peers.

Here are few examples of the textual evidence that illustrates her personalty in the story;

• "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."
• “That’s not, I don’t, you’re not . . . not mine,” I finally say in a  little voice that was maybe me when I was four."
• I don’t know why but  all of a sudden I’m feeling sick inside, like the part of me that’s  three wants to come out of my eyes, only I squeeze them shut  tight and bite down on my teeth real hard and try to remember  today I am eleven, eleven."
