"Straw into Gold" is a partial autobiography written by Sandra Cisneros. Her autobiography introduces us to her life. Sandra's intention is to show the success she has reached to whoever chooses to read her autobiography. Sandra, likewise Benjamin Franklin, has traveled many places. Her travels have had a big influence towards her narratives. She is also very influenced by her family. From her dad, she has inherited her emotions and love of wandering. From her mom, she has inherited her love of books, and her intelligence.
Sandra did not have a lot of money because she was on an education grant. As she states in her autobiography, she was asked to make corn tortillas, but she did not know how to, even though she was a Mexican. She had felt embarrassed for not knowing how, and was overthinking about making it perfect. Even though they did not turn out perfect, she was glad that she had at least made it all by herself. Sandra also compares this to an important exam she had to take. Even though she was stressing about it, thinking it was impossible, in the end, everything turned out alright.
