You can use the clues "It only gets worse" and "the purpose of holidays" to infer the definition of the word. 

Also, the prefix "de" means "do the opposite of", and "construct" means, to put something together, or build it up. 

So you can infer that "deconstruct" means to take apart or break. 



Hope this wasn't too confusing, comment the correct answer.

How does Cisneros play around with connotation and denotation with the word "only"?
solmaris [256]
Cisneros plays around with connotation and denotation with the word only by using the word in different ways. As in this example sentence, it says they are the only daughter, inferring that there is one female child, but they say they are only a daughter, inferring that they feel they can be nothing more than a daughter.
