In searching for this short story online I also came across some analysis that I want to save here so "By putting Barbie as the symbol of white Anglo Saxon American female in in- group and the burned Barbie (Barbie-Q) as the symbol of Latinos in out-group, Cisneros shows the hegemonic ideology that tries to subordinate and dominate the social groups marginalized by the dominant/powerful class.""The central idea of this story is how easy it is to conform to social pressure in society of by pretending that life is perfect, hiding emotions, and hiding one's true self ." I guess.
