Week 5 Blog Post – Sandra Cisneros

Question #4 from pg.104

Sandra Cisneros and her father have different ideas about what it means to be successful. Her father thinks for women to be successful it’s important to get married, have a family, and children. Being successful for men means working in a high-level field of occupation, something that doesn’t have to deal with labor works. He had a tough life as a labor worker and he worked hard to make a living out of it so he always tells his children to use their mind. He also had discrete sponsors, which made him like the way he is now. Cisneros had a different mindset because of how her father treated her. She had a new thought of showing her dad that a woman can also do the things a man can do and make her parents proud. Both of them have separate views and set of ideas due to time frames, experiences, and generations.
