The title of the story is Eleven by Sandra Cisneros.
The main characters are: Rachel, an eleven year old girl. Mrs. Price, her teacher. Other children in Rachel`s class, including Sylvia Saldivar and Phyllis Lopez.
The character that I found most intersting was Rachel, because she Knew that the teacher was wrong, but she couldn`t assert herself. she thought that it was going to be hard to change the teachers mind so she decided to respect the teachers decision, although Mrs. Price was wrong.
Te central problem of the story begings when, on Rachel`s eleven birthday, Mrs. Price asks the class who owns an ugly, old sweater. When Sylvia says it belongs to Rachel, Mrs Price believes Sylvia and insists that Rachel put it on. Rachel becomes embarrassed and begings to cry. After a while, Phyllis remembers that it`s really her sweater. Rachel returns the sweater to Phyllis, but Mrs. Price doesn`t acknowledge her mistake or apologize to Rachel, whose birthday has been ruined by the incident.
Well, I enjoy the story because that could happen to anyone, specially to those who are working under a person in a position of authority, so I recommend this book because it show you a very important lesson.
