Series of vignettes

A Series of Vignettes Writing Project

For this project, you will be writing a

series of vignettes that are similar to

those that we have read in Sandra

Cisneros’ The House on Mango

Street. You should review your notes

in order to refresh your memory on

style and the vignette. Of course, you

should use the novel for help! Here

are the requirements. You must write a

series of six vignettes. Remember,

you have already written two similar to

“The House on Mango Street” and “My

Name.” You should come up with an

original title for your first vignette if you

have not already done so. You may

change the title of your second

vignette if you wish, but you do not

have to. “My Name” is a perfectly fine

title for this one.You will pick four other

chapters from The House on Mango

Street to rewrite using your own

experiences and ideas. Please come

up with original titles for each of these

four vignettes. The vignettes that you

choose and your writing should

convey something to the audience

about your identity.After you have

written four additional vignettes, you

should put them together (in order),

design a cover for your story, create a

title, and create a dedication page.

Sandra Cisneros dedicated The

House on Mango Street “A Las

Mujeres” or, to the women. You should

dedicate your series of vignettes to

some person, place, or thing that is

meaningful to you. Remember that

when you are writing, you should

emulate the style of Sandra Cisneros.

Again, use your novel! Be sure to

keep in mind the elements of a

vignette as you are writing. Review

your notes or ask questions if you

need help.
