I think that this post is a perfect summary of Cisneros's autobiography. I liked that you included almost every detail while keeping the blog post short. It was also interesting that you used one of Cisneros's quotes to close your post. Great post.
I really love the details you included into the summary. I have to highly agree with Haroutiun for once. He is mostly incorrect, but this time, I believe he said the correct stuff. Good job on summarizing the story. It shows you really understood the story well enough!
Hey Greg, I really enjoyed your summary as well as the story. The author is telling the reader that nothing is impossible and anything can be achieved if one is dedicated. You really explained the story and have an overall great post. Good job, keep up the good work!
