Which are reasons to thank Sandra Cisneros for writing the story “Eleven”? Check all that apply. It taught me that I should to stand up for myself. It was pretty cool because it was about kids my age. It showed me that it’s okay to cry sometimes. It was funny, and I liked how it talked about a smelly old sweater. It made me realize that sometimes I need to speak up for others. It really connected with my life and how tough growing up can be.
