The story is called eleven and the author is Sandra Cisneros. This story is about a girl named Rachel and a stinky red sweater ruins her birthday. I think Rachel is credible. One reason I think Rachel is credible is that she was embarrassed that people thought this red sweater that was ugly that was her. Rachel could barely even say that the sweater is not hers. That is only one reason there is two more reasons. The second reason why I think Rachel is credible is that she is very embarrassed that the teacher makes her wear the red sweater. “You put that sweater on right now and no more nonsense.” That last reason why I think Rachel is credible is that when she hears this girl say that she remembers it being hers and not Rachel’s Rachel doesn’t tell the teacher Mrs. Price that she heard somebody else say it was theirs. “But the worst part is right before the bell rings for lunch. That stupid Phyllis Lopez, who is even dumber than Felice Garcia, says she remembers the red sweater is hers!” Those are all my reasons and all of those reasons explain why Rachel is credible. This was all about the story Eleven and this story was great.
