I loved how descriptive Cisneros was in this part of the story because it helped me paint the perfect picture in my head of what was happening, and it made me think about how my sister and her friend used to do similar things like the narrator and Lucy did when they were young. Furthermore, mentioning how the narrator and Lucy have the same exact flip flops that they bought with each other shows how they have a perfect friendship with one another, that most of us were blessed enough to have with someone else growing up as well. I wonder if the narrator likes Lucy so much because of her big family that she doesn't have, and I also wonder if the narrator envy's Lucy so intensely that she wants to literally be Lucy in general?

This section of this story is significant because Cisneros is exaggerating the fact how the narrator envy’s Lucy so much that she even wants to look like her. It can be said that Lucy is hispanic due to the the terms being used in the beginning of the story, but I believe that the narrator is much more similar to Lucy than she really thinks. I also get the feeling that the narrator is a young girl because of the wrong grammar all throughout the story that Cisneros uses on purpose to prove this to be true.

I found this section of the paragraph very interesting due to the fact of how long of a run-on sentence it is. This just emphasizes how much Cisneros mind was rushing as fast as it was while writing this, because of the excessive imagery she created in this section. I really like how descriptive Cisneros was at the end of this paragraph due to the fact that it reminded me of my childhood and definitely brought back many memories for us readers!
