Answer and Explanation:
"Eleven" is a short story written by Sandra cisneros and tells the story of Rachel, a girl who feels uncomfortable at her age. She is completing 11 years, she expected a big change in her life, in her personality, but nothing happened, on the contrary, she feels that she has the personality of all the previous ages together and she did not want any of them, because she feels powerless and unstable .
We can see this during the entire reading. When Rachel says "I'm eleven today. I'm eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one, but I wish I was one hundred and two. I wish I was anything but eleven. Because I want today to be far away already, far away like a runaway balloon, like a tiny o in the sky, so tiny —tiny you have to close your eyes to see it. " (Cisneros, 1991), we can see how the character is napping in a dilemma with herself, where she did not want to be what she is and even though she is in a moment that should be celebrated, she dreams of being something else, very distant than what it really does.
