Explanation:

'Eleven' is a short story written by Sandra Cisneros. The story is about a young girl named Rachel, who's turned eleven. On her eleventh birthday, she had bad experience in Maths class, when Mrs Price forced Rachel to wear a sweater not owned by her but someone else.

In Paragraph 12 and Paragraph 21, Rachel repeats the fact that her mother is making her birthday cake that night and when her father would be home, they will cut the cake and sing birthday melody. The repetition used by the author emphasizes that how Rachel feels about her birthday, which is being ruined by one of her class teacher. This repetition also gives an insight into Rachel's mind.
