Highlight details that show the writer's purpose, or reason for writing to Sandra Cisneros. Dear Ms. Cisneros,

I am writing to thank you for teaching me that speaking up for someone else can be a good thing. In your short story "Eleven," no one stands up for the narrator, and she has a terrible birthday. This helped me to see that I can use my voice to help others, even when I'm scared.

Sincerely,

Ebin Yosef
