Rachel

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,…

Cisneros’ Development of Stereotypical Female Characters in Her Works Since the beginning of time, the role of women has been consistently similar. Women will work the household, tend to the kids, and provide care for the family, a rather stark contrast to the role of the average man. The greatest contrasts between men and women who have been prominent in society for centuries is the silencing of women, and stripping them of their own independence and decisions simply because of their gender.…

murmuring about Rachel - but it didn’t matter; all that was in the past anyways. “How was your day?” I ask casually, trying to make conversation, although it was always my roommate who asked so first. “Pretty okay,” she replied thoughtfully, but her face’s got a queer look today. “Look, I’ve got to tell you something. It may be important, or it may just be a hoax. Somebody just called while you were gone. I couldn’t quite make out the name - the connection was really bad - but it was a Rachel,…

said to Jacob, ‘Return to the land of your father and to your kindred, and I will be with you.’(Genesis 31.3)” Furthermore, the narrative strongly implies that Jacob did nothing wrong legally. Since the marriage, Jacob had the legal right to take Rachel and Leah where he wanted thus God ensures that Laban does not punish him. In these three examples of deception, not one of them were seen as negative actions by god. The act of lying itself is considered neutral unless he/she is shows…

I decided to write this story after my sister Rachel, who was sixteen years my senior, passed away. The Second World War was the reason for this difference in age: she was twelve years old when the War started, spending teenage years struggling for survival during evacuation, post War hunger, disease, long lines for rations of flour and sugar. I, (most likely an accident), was born after the War; in America I am a part of the baby boomers generation. Regrettably, nobody in our family talked…
