cultural identity (2) Cisneros illustrates this through a number of images and ideas. (3) For example, the speaker,
Micaela, calls her grandmother "awful," and seems to resent the woman's strict views and religious ideals. (4) The
speaker also mentions how she and her brother emulate characters from popular American television programs when
they play make-believe (5) Lastly, she deseribes physically standing outside her family's church, an act that symbolizes
the fact that she feels like an outsider to Mexican culture (6) Although Micaela is of Mexican descent, she seems to feel al
stronger connection to the United States
