"Straw Into Gold"

     "A Straw Into Gold" is written by Sandra Cisneros. She is a modern author who traveled the world just like Benjamin Franklin. The occasion of her story is about her life. Her main audience is the people reading it. Her purpose for writing this short story was to show her success.She is a Mexican-American writer who was very much influenced by her family and travel. She suc school in France, and never knew how to cook Mexican food.
       In her autobiography, she feels as if she creates allusions. She feels as if she is being asked to do the impossible. One small example of her success was when she did not know how to make tortillas. She put in the effort and succeeded. However, she has her bad sides. She goes against her families wills and leaves the house. She realized she did not want to be in a home with all boys, and she is much different from the rest of her family. The ironic part is that she does wonder off, she becomes a very successful woman. Also, she makes a very strong connection with her mother and father. She states that she is hard willed and intelligent like her mother, but very emotional like her father. She also gained the love of travel from her father. I think she is a very educated woman, and that all woman in the world should be adventurous and enthusiastic like her. Her autobiography gave us a small glimp as to how wonderful her life is as a writer and traveler.
