What are your thoughts on the book so far?

Essential Question: Where does our sense of identity come from?

What is the personal significance of your given name (first, middle and last)? Does your name mean different things to you, your family, and your friends? What are your nicknames? What do your nicknames mean to you and those who call you those names?

In what areas of your life are you most free to do what you like? In what areas of your life do you have the least freedom? Consider the roles gender, race, religion, education, class, age, and upbringing play in limiting an individuals personal freedom.

How is growing into a teenage body (physically, mentally and emotionally) like moving into a new house/apartment? Compare the experiences of moving into a new house/apartment to the experiences of being a teenager.

Writing Situation: In the vignette Hairs, Sandra Cisneros reveals a lot about the narrators family, especially her mother, through a discussion of one physical trait: hair. Her first paragraph describes the hair of the narrators father and the hair of her siblings, using those descriptions to give the reader insight into each of their personalities. Cisneros also reveals the narrators feelings towards her mother in the passage, using a variety of stylistic devices to achieve this effect. Think about the people in your own family, the characteristics you share with them and those which make them (and you) distinctive. Decide which physical trait you would like to write about. Is the trait one you share with your family or yours alone? How might you present your piece as Cisneros did with metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration, repetition and other literary devices?

Writing Directions: Using Hairs as a model, write a vignette about your own life that discusses an important physical trait and how it reveals something about the person who possesses it and your relationship to him/her. You may choose to discuss a trait that all of you share, or one that makes a particular family memberor youstand out from the others because it is different. You must incorporate at least four literary devices in your vignette.
