The House On Mango Street

"The House On Mango Street" By Sandra Cisneros focuses on a young girl named Esperanza who lives in a poor Latino section of Chicago.

In the beginning, the main character, Esperanza, describes her life and her family members and siblings. When i kept on reading the book, it seemed to me like Esperanza was the one taking care of her younger siblings. Like she has to watch over them. I would probably describe Esperanza as a very positive and determined person. She cares about things and she's positive about what she wants to do with her life.

Some things that might be holding her back would probably be the way her lifestyle is and where she lives, which can be a conflict because that's something that she wants to change, but something is holding her back, so she can't do anything about it just yet, since she's too young.

Someone who's plays an important role in Esperanza's life would have to be her sister, Nenny, because she has to take care of her and help her and everything, but Nenny's still there to help her too.
