Hi! I’m Eleven. Well, when I was born my mom named me Jane but I’ll tell you the story of how I got the name Eleven. When I was born the doctors found out that I had powers; telekinesis to be exact. They took me to a lab. They did experiments on me and used my powers. They didn't really call me Eleven though. How I got my name was from my first friend Mike Wheeler.

I went to this restaurant and tried to steal some food but the guy caught me. Instead of calling the police on me, he let me have the food. He told me my smile looks nice on me. That made me happy. No one had ever told me that before. He …show more content…

Then he called me Eleven and it caught on. His other friends were Dustin Henderson and Lucas Sinclair. At first they didn't like me. They didn't know who I was or where I came from. They were skeptical, but as we went on more adventures together they warmed up to me. In the blink of an eye they became my best friends. I helped them find their friend Will Byers.

The author, Sandra Cisneros, uses literary techniques in “Eleven” to characterize Rachel by using metaphors, comparisons, and repetition. In the beginning of Sandra Cisneros’s short story, she states that when a person becomes an age older they will not feel a difference. The character Rachel explains that in different situations, for example, “Like some days you might say something stupid, and [you will feel ten]” a person might feel different from their actual age.
