    In the short story, “Salvador, Late or Early” by Sandra Cisneros, several context clues distinguish the fact that Salvador smokes. The story begins with the fact that Salvador is lonely, supported by the quote, “is a boy who is no one’s friend,” One reason Salvador may not have any friends is because he smokes and other children want to maintain a distance from him. Other details in the story further provide back support to this perspective. In the second paragraph, the author describes Salvador urging Arturito and Cecilio to hurry, “...because today, like yesterday, Arturito has dropped the cigar box of crayons,”. The context clearly depicts that Salvador gave his brother a cigar box to hold his crayons, indicating another possibility that…

Hearing their giggles I turned and looked up at them before responding with one of the only phrases I knew of the spanish language, “hola” “¿cómo estás?” This caused a panic and they quickly disappeared, laughing to themselves and speaking in a language I had only begun to understand. A few seconds later I could feel their eyes staring down at me again, I quickly shot my head around to stare at them again, this caused them to dart away even quicker before being followed by a uproar of giggles. This experience was something I had grew quite accustomed to in my short time in Guatemala.…

    Sandra Cisneros, an author who is deeply inspired by her Mexican American heritage. This inspiration is clearly shown throughout each and every one of her writing pieces, such as “Salvador Late or Early”, as well as “Eleven”. Both short-stories focus on adolescents with a mature mindset and adult precision, and each story does a marvelous job portraying Cisneros constant writing style. “Salvador Late or Early” is focusing on a young boy, Salvador, with heavy burdens to carry on his shoulders, which is unfortunate because he is such a young boy with an old soul. The responsibilities he has are unimaginable due to the fact they don’t pertain to his age.…
