Sandra Cisneros's "Straw Into Gold: The Metamorphosis of The Everyday"

     Sandra Cisneros writes about one part of her life in "Straw Into Gold", which makes her the speaker of her autobiography. She tells the reader, in this case, us, or anyone else interested in reading about her life, about how she "survived" life, and all her accomplishments. This autobiography is from a from a few specific events, which then lead to many connections she made with other events in her life. She also talks about all her achievements, even though she was not very confident about her work. She makes connections from different events throughout the biography, to other information, which helps the reader learn more about her, and where she comes from.
     Sandra Cisneros was very different, according to her parents. She did what was not expected by her parents, but still achieved a successful life. This can connect to the link in her autobiography Cisneros made about the tortillas. Cisneros says that she was not very confident in making tortillas, but after trying (and getting a sloppy turnout) she was able to do it. She talks about her family, and all the great accomplishments she has achieved throughout her lifetime, whether it be traveling the world for her own interest, or traveling the world to teach.
