Sandra Cisneros enchants us with her autobiography, "Straw Into Gold: The Metamorphosis of the Every Day". Cisneros is originally Mexican, but she has traveled to countless istes all over the world. She is from the modern day and age, unlike most of the stories that we have read this year. Another difference between the previous stories we have read and this autobiography is that it has no set occasion. Rather, it is taking place during her life in general.
She writes this story to provide to the reader and introduction to her life, to show her successes and how they have led her to where she is. She has achieved turning the "straw into gold" by accomplishing thing that she never thought possible. The story becomes the base of knowing the hardships that she went through in life in order to get to her life today. She writes in a very simple, descriptive tone, as if speaking to her audience in person. Cisneros's story truly made me feel that I should challenge myself, go against all odds, and become an independent, successful person in the future in order to be happy with my life.
