Rachel describes how it feels to wake up as an eleven-year-old.

Explanation:

"Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros is a short story where a girl, Rachel, describes the feeling of waking up on her 11th birthday. It describes thoughts about your age and how past ages influence your feelings and thoughts about new age. Rachel states that when you wake up with 11 years old, you don't feel older, you feel that you are still the old age, this is because the experiences of the new age have not yet happened and it seems that nothing has changed.
