Audra Yates is an immortal, a being of a nameless race that has been around since the beginning of time.

For this reason, Audra has been killing her soul mate for the past 125 years, every time he reincarnates and seeks her out.

Each of us have done a thing or two that churn our stomachs to even slightly remember them. The time you split your pants. The time you fell down while walking at graduation. While each of these instances are absolutely horrid, they shape who one becomes over time. The short story, “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros, follows an eleven year old girl named Rachel who has to cope with one of life’s sucker punches on what would have be a wonderful day; her birthday. The terrifying incident involving a disgusting red sweater that Rachel describes as “raggedy”, “old”, and smelling of “cottage cheese”. The emotions that these events evoke in Rachel, coupled with various literary techniques and choices such as stream of consciousness style writing, decisions
In the short story, "Eleven," by Sandra Cisnernos, Cisneros describes the birthday of Rachel, an eleven year-old who was humiliated on her birthday. Her teacher, Mrs. Price, claimed that an old sweater belonged to her, when in reality, it was Sylvia Saldivar's who ironically claimed it belonged to Rachel. Rachel was left crying and depressed the rest of the day, when she was commanded to wear it. Cisneros best characterizes Rachel through her well use of her diction,imagery, and repetition.
In the short story, “Eleven”, by Sandra Cisneros, the main character, Rachel, feels upset with both the teacher and her fellow students because she feels mistreated, she feels made fun of, and she openly weeps in front of the entire class. Rachel, throughout the story, feels mistreated because the teacher, Ms. Price, will not accept the fact that the red sweatshirt does not belong to Rachel. It can be inferred that other classmates also show this kind of behavior to Rachel, even though it is not directly stated in the story. On multiple occasions, the teacher, along with other pupils, repeatedly say that the sweater belongs to Rachel. For example, the teacher states to Rachel that, “You put that sweater on right now and no more nonsense.” A

Who am I? I am Josephine Allbrandi, I am 17 years old, and I can be exactly whoever I want to be. About 6 months ago I wouldn't have felt the same. I hated my life at that time. My Grandma and my mum controlled my life and I always felt like I couldn't be who I wanted to be. They controlled me in every way possible. I hated it. I wanted to be free. I wanted to be emancipated. Did that happen? Yes. But. Not in the way I thought. I wanted to be completely free from everything to do with Italy. I did not want to be Italian, but I did not want to be Australia. I was confused. But I'm not anymore, at least I hope I'm not. These are the events that shaped my perspective to what it is today.

Many things considering Arawn. There was much she didn’t know of him, much she wondered. It is well known the mages and their Templars naturally become lovers in the end.
