7. why can't rachel speak up to tell mrs. price the sweater is not hers? [infer]

In the story "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros, we see that Rachel is turning eleven. She is happy about it, and excited about celebrating. However, when she arrives to school, the teacher forces her to wear an ugly sweater that is not hers, thinking it belongs to her.

Even though Rachel knows the truth, she is unable to speak up. She feel overwhelmed by emotion and cries. Rachel most likely struggles to speak up because the teacher is an authority, and Rachel believes she might not believe her or care about what she has to say. Moreover, Rachel might be very embarrassed, or be too shy.

explanation: in literature, realism focuses on dialogue, characterization, everyday moments and events, the character's psychological development, actions, decisions, as well as believable settings

explanation:

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
