Those structures are usually drawn after and through studies like Rhetoric and Composition Studies.

The author combines the use of English and Spanish in her text to be appealing to a person that spokes Spanish.
Although the use of English is in the text, Gloria makes it entertaining for the reader who understands both Spanish and English.
