“Hairs” by Sandra Cisneros Vignette: A vignette is like a “snapshot” of a moment. It is a very short, detailed, and descriptive story that tries to capture all the senses of a particular memory. In this vignette, Cisneros is trying to show that the narrator thinks about who she is and her family members by recalling their unique hair and the senses she can relate the hair to.

HOMEWORK – BE READY TO TURN IN TOMORROW Pick a noun (person, place, thing) to describe-- it can be anything recognizable. Write one paragraph describing it using all five of the sensory details. BUT - You are not allowed to say what you are describing!

Example As daylight breaks, wind sneaks into my room, causing little bumps on my arms to form. I have no choice but to wake from my dream. The bright reflection caused by the white, fluffy substance blanketing my back yard forces my eyes to squint, as I throw open the window curtains. Squeals and muffled laughter from the playful kids next door catch my attention. I rush down the stairs to put on my boots, and I run out into the bitter cold to join them. But after an hour, I’m convinced to come back inside. The brisk air that grabs at my lungs, and the numbness of my toes have won. But the delicious aroma of hot chocolate comforts me. It is soothingly warm as it melts down my throat and tastes like heaven on my lips. What am I describing?
