5. The story is about a young girl, growing as the
only daughter of six other brothers. When
growing up, the father includes her as one of
his seven boys. She grows up near with her six
brothers, and learns a lot about each other.
She wants her father to understand that she is
important also, but the father diverts his
attention to her brothers. Then when she is in
the fifth grade, she shares her dreams to go to
college, and do something with her life. Her
brothers all laugh at her.

6. The father judgement and the common sterotype states
that her destiny is to become a good “house wife”. But
after four years of college and sometime at the
undergraduate school, she still hasn’t got a husband
let alone a boy friend. Her father says that she always
was writing for her father, and writing for mainstream
culture.
Ten years went by, and now she is now professional
writer creating works of art. Her father has developed
an unwell sickness. She gives her father some of her
story to read in Spanish and he likes it a lot. At the end
of reading, the father becomes very proud of her
daughter.
