Transcript: Vignette Presentation By: Shakirrah Williams Definition: Exmaples My Vignette Quiz The End!! “Laughter” By Sandra Cisneros Nenny and I don’t look like sisters…not right away. Not the way you can tell with Rachel and Lucy who have the same fat Popsicle lips like everybody else in their family. But me and Nenny, we are more alike than you would know. Our laughter for example, not the shy ice cream bells’ giggle of Rachel and Lucy’s family, but all of a sudden and surprised like a pile of dishes breaking. And other things I can’t explain. One day we were passing a house that looked, in my mind, like houses I had seen in Mexico. I don’t know why. There was nothing about the house that looked exactly like the houses I remembered. I’m not even sure why I thought it, but it seemed to feel right. Look at that house, I said, it looks like Mexico. Rachel and Lucy look at me like I’m crazy, but before they can let out a laugh, Nenny says: Yes, that’s Mexico all right. That’s what I was thinking exactly.

Their laughs were both very bold and loud. The two sisters didn'y look alike right away but they laugh and thought similar at times. For example, they both seen a house that reminded them of Mexico. Thier friends thought it was a silly thing to say but the two sisters understood each other perfectly.
