Read  the  excerpt  from  “Eleven”  by  Sandra  Cisneros.  Identify  the  setting.    
 
Today  I  wish  I  was  one  hundred  and  two  instead  of  eleven  because  if  I  was  one  hundred  and  two,  
I’d  have  known  what  to  say  when  Mrs.  Price  put  the  red  sweater  on  my  desk.  I  would’ve  known  
how  to  tell  her  it  wasn’t  mine  instead  of  just  sitting  there  with  that  look  on  my  face  and  nothing  
coming  out  of  my  mouth.
