In “Eleven,” by Sandra Cisneros, Rachel, the narrator, gives her thoughts on aging and recounts the traumatic experience of being forced to wear an ugly red sweater. ... Cisneros uses a hyperbolic sentence to describe Rachel’s desires to be “one hundred and two” instead of eleven. ... The figurative language in the piece by Sandra Cisneros shows that Rachel is very young and wants to be older. ... For instance, in the first paragraph, the repetition of the word “and,” short telegraphic sentences like the one starting with “You feel,” and the parallel structure of sentences beginning with “You” and “And you” all give the impression that the narrator is very young.
