In Sandra Cisneros Only Daughter, she really talks about how she is the only daughter
of six boys. She says she had to “spend a lot of time by [herself] because her
brothers felt it beneath them to play with a girl in public.” Her dad also thought college was a waste
because she had not found a husband yet. In the essay she even says that all
her writings have “been for him.” It seems as if she’s trying to win her
fathers approval for I guess disappointing him in not having a husband yet. At
the end of the story the reader can see that the father finally accepted her
work.

Cisnero says “of all the wonderful things that
happened to me last year, that was the most wonderful. After everything she’s done to try and get his
approval it finally worked.” She was so worried if her father would love the
story she wrote or hate it. He ended up loving the story she wrote and wanted
to give copies to the rest of the family. Her father was so proud of Cisnero
for her work.

Sandra Cisnero and her father can be similar by I guess being accepting. Over the years she was trying to live up to her dads standards or in the shadows of her brothers. She could've gave up but with persistence the day finally came when her dad finally accepted her. She knew all the hard work she went through for college and even after finally paid off.
