Only Daughter

In the article ”Only Daughter” by Sandra Cisneros, She start the article by saying that she wrote an contributors notes for anthology, and that she was the only daughter out of six sons.  Then she goes on to say that she should have say from a Mexican family.  Then as a child she told her father her idea of college, and her brothers laughed at the idea of her going to college.  But then her father told her that it was good for her to go to college, for finding a husband in life.  After her four years of college, she did not have a husband.  Then in the life story she talks how the live in Chicago and they moved to Mexico City and back to Chicago because of her fathers nostalgia.  Then she feels like she was being erased because of her father telling everyone that he has seven sons.  Then her oldest brother graduated for medical school and fulfilled her fathers dreams.  Now having been writing for ten years she sold a book to New York publishing house.  Then at Christmas time she flew home to see her family, after she just had one of her books translated into spanish.  Then she gave the book for her father to read and he loved it and wanted to get copies for the whole family.

For this article, I didn’t really enjoy it, to me it seemed really boring.  The best part that I feel about this was that her father liked the book that she wrote.
