Step-by-step explanation:

"Only Daughter" is a personal essay by writer Sandra Cisneros which narrates the experiences that Cisneros herself had as the only daughter in a family of both Mexican and American traditions, where she had to live with six brothers and a Mexican father whose beliefs were traditionally Mexican: men work and study, women are good for housewives. However, despite the difficulties that she had to undergo, Cisneros herself recognizes that these circumstances shaped her into who she became, and helped the young girl, who spent most of her time alone because her brothers and father mostly did not bother with her, to become a much better writer. In fact, in her very essay, at the beginning she states that it was that loneliness which fed her creativity, and pushed her to activities that increased her abilities later on in life, as a writer.
