    Summary Of Mericans By Sandra Cisneros

    In the story “’Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros the setting symbolizes how Mexican-Americans, in this case, Micaela and her siblings, live in between two different worlds without being completely accepted into either the Mexican or the American culture.

There are two settings in the story. Inside the dusty and dark church with high ceilings which smells like incense, and holy water, where the awful grandmother…
