 Let’s Read
Eleven
By Sandra Cisneros
What they don’t understand about birthdays and
what they never tell you is that when you’re eleven,
you’re also ten, and nine, and eight , and seven, and
six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one.
And when you wake up on your eleventh birthday you
expect to feel eleven, but you don’t. You open your
eyes and everything’s just like yesterday, only it’s
today. And you don’t feel like eleven at all. You feel
like you’re still ten. And you are – underneath the year
that makes you eleven.
Like some days you might say something
stupid, and that’s part of you that’s still
ten. Or maybe some days you might need
to sit on your mama’s lap because you’re
scared, and that’s the part of you that’s
five. And maybe one day when you’re all
grown up maybe you will need to cry like if
you’re three, and that’s okay. That’s what I
tell Mama when she’s sad and needs to cry.
Maybe she’s feeling three.
Because the way you grow old is kind of
like an onion or like the rings inside the
tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls
that fit one inside the other, each year
inside the next one. next one. That’s how
being eleven years old is. You don’t feel
eleven. Not right away. It takes a few days,
weeks even, sometimes even months
before you say Eleven when they ask you.
And you don’t feel smart eleven, not until
you’re almost twelve. That’s the way it is.
Only today I wish I didn’t have only eleven
years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin
Band-aid box. Today I wish I was one
hundred and two instead of eleven
because If I was one hundred and two I’d
have known what to say when Mrs. Price
put the red sweater on my desk. I would’ve
known how to tell her it wasn’t mine
instead of just sitting there with that look
on my face and nothing coming out of my
mouth.
―Whose is this?‖ Mrs. Price says, and she holds
the red sweater up in the air for all the class to
see. ― Whose? It’s been sitting in the coatroom
for a month‖.
― Not mine‖ says everybody. ―Not me.‖
―It has to belong to somebody.‖ Mrs. Price
keeps saying, but nobody can remember. It’s an
ugly sweater with red plastic buttons and a
collar and sleeves all stretched out like you
could use it for a jump rope. It’s maybe a
thousand years old and even if it belonged to
me I wouldn’t say so.
Maybe because I’m skinny, maybe because she
doesn’t like me, that stupid Sylvia Saldivar says,
―I think it belongs to Rachel.‖ An ugly sweater
like that, all raggedy and old, but Mrs. Price
believes her. Mrs. Price takes the sweater and
puts it right on my desk, but when I open my
mouth nothing comes out.
That’s not, I don’t, you’re not.....Not mine‖ I
finally say in a little voice that was maybe me
when I was four. ―Of course it’s yours‖ Mrs. Price
says. ― I remember you wearing it once.‖
Because she’s older and the teacher, she’s right
Not mine, not mine, not mine, but
Mrs. Price is already turning to page
thirty-two, and math problem number
four. I don’t know why but all of a
sudden I’m feeling sick inside, like the
part of me that’s three wants to come
out of my eyes, only I squeeze them
shut tight and bite down on my teeth
real hard and try to remember today I
am eleven, eleven. Mama is making
 a cake for me tonight, and when Papa
comes home everybody will sing Happy
birthday, happy birthday to you. But
when sick feeling goes away and I open
my eyes, the red sweater’s still sitting
there like a big red mountain. I moved
the red sweater to the corner of my desk
with my ruler. I move my pencil and
books and eraser as far from it as
possible. I even move my chair a little to
In my head I’m thinking how long till lunch
time, how long till I can take the red sweater
and throw it over the schoolyard fence, or
leave it hanging on a parking meter, or bunch
it up into a little ball and toss it in the alley.
Except when Math period ends, Mrs. Price
says loud and in front of everybody, ―Now,
Rachel, that’s enough,‖ because she sees I’ve
shoved the reds sweater to the tippy-tip
corner of my desk and it’s hanging all over
the edge like a waterfall, but I don’t care.
― Rachel,‖ Mrs. Price says. She says it like she’s getting
mad. ― You put that sweater on right now and no more
non sense.‖ ―But it’s not—― ― Now!‖ Mrs Price says.
This is when I wish I wasn’t eleven, because all the years
inside of me –ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
three, two and one – are pushing at the back of my eyes
when I put one arm through one sleeve of the sweater
that smells like cottage cheese , and then the other arm
through the other and stand there with my arms apart
like if the sweater hurts me and it does, all itchy and full
of germs that aren’t mine. That’s when everything I’ve
been holding in since this morning, since when Mrs.
Price put the sweater on my desk, finally lets go, and all
of a sudden I’m crying in front of
everybody. I wish I was invisible but I’m not.
I’m eleven and it’s my birthday today and I’m
crying like I’m three in front of everybody. I
put my head down on the desk and bury my
face in my stupid clown-sweater arms. My
face all hot and spit coming out of my mouth
because I can’s stop the little animal noises
from coming out of me, until there aren’t any
more tears left in my eyes, and it’s just my
body shaking like when you have the hiccups,
and my whole head hurts like when you drink
But the worst part is right before the bell rings
for lunch. That stupid Phyllis Lopez, who is even
dumber than Sylvia Saldivar, says she
remembers the red sweater is hers!
I take it off right away and give it to her, only
Mrs. Price pretends like everything’s okay.
Today I’m eleven. There’s a cake Mama’s making
for tonight, and when Papa comes home from
work we’ll eat it. There’ll be candles and
presents, and everybody will sing Happy
birthday, happy birthday to you, Rachel, only it’s
too late.
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.

A good story is a work of art. Like a

beautiful painting, it springs from an
imagination. It can be sparked by a
memory, an experience, or even a dream.
Wherever people have lived there is a story
to be told.
-Henry David Thoreau, writer-
Stories are account of imaginary or real
people and events told for entertainment.
Elements of the story includes:
1. Character - each person, animal, or
imaginary creature that appears in a story.
In the story of ― Eleven‖, Rachel is the
main character and the teacher and
students are minor character.
Another character from the story is the
Hero, it is the chief male or female
character in a book, play, or movie, who is
typically identified with good qualities, and
with whom the reader is expected to
sympathize.
Villain on the other hand, is also another character
from the story.
This often refer to as the evil from the story,
In the story of Rachel, Sylvia Saldivar is the villain,
because she embarrassed Rachel in front of the
class.
2. Setting – is the time and place in which the story
unfolds. The time could be in the past, the present,
or the future; during the day or the night; in any
season. The place, or scene may be imaginary or
real.
In the story of Rachel, school is the setting of the story, it is a
place where the story happened.

Last week, you learned about personal
pronoun. A personal pronoun can be
feminine, masculine or neuter. Aside from
that, you also learned about cases of
nouns, such as, nominative case, subject of
a verb case, and object of the preposition
case.
Let’s Recall
Task 1: Do it Right!
Before you learn about pronoun
antecedent agreement. Let us have a brief
recall of the lesson we discussed last time
about character and setting.

Pronoun – takes the place of a noun, while

antecedent is the noun which the pronoun
replaces or refers to.
The pronoun and antecedent must match
or agree in terms of gender, case and
number.
For example:
When Sally goes home, she eats dinner.
What is the pronoun in this sentence (she)? To
whom does it refer? (Sally)
Sally is the antecedent of the pronoun – She
What do you think the antecedent mean?
Sally means one woman and the pronoun she
refers to one woman too. It means that the
antecedent (Sally) and the pronoun ( she )
match and agree.
Study this sentences:
1. The students went to their classroom.
What is the pronoun in this sentence? To
whom does it refer to?
In this sentence, their is the pronoun and it
refers to students.
Students is the antecedent
Students mean many people and the
pronoun their is in agreement with
students.
2. Mark drives his car to work.
What is the pronoun? To whom does it
refer?
His is the pronoun and it refers to Mark
Since Mark means one man, the pronoun
his is in agreement with Mark.
3. The monkey threw snowball, but it had
crummy aim.
In this sentence, what is the pronoun? To
whom does it refer?
It is the pronoun, and it refers to Monkey.
Since monkey means one animal, the
pronoun it matches and agrees.

were plagued by the death of Poe„s
mother when Poe was two, Poe„s first love
when Poe was 15, and Poe„s foster
mother when Poe was 20. After
dropping out of college and getting
expelled from West Point, Poe took
a job as an editor at the Southern
Literary Messenger in Richmond.
Poe„s controversial fiction and
scathing book reviews boosted the
magazine„s circulation seven times
in seventeen months, and Poe only got
fired twice in the process. After Poe„s
second termination, Poe took a series of
editorial positions at the leading
magazines in Philadelphia and New York
and supplemented his income with
lectures and public readings. Poe„s short
story “The Gold Bug “ was a smash hit,
but the publication of “The Raven” made
Poe internationally famous.
