House on Mango Street

I never chose the mango street house. They decided all this for me, and we were moved by what you knew. One night, I went home, and my father smiled and said, and we left here. I gave him a confused expression, but after seeing his smile side, I noticed what he meant. After 30 years of hardship he finally found the house he always wanted. Since my father was my father, he dreamed of living someday. He will be my grandmother, I will tell my grandmother that as I grow up I will live in a big house like New York.

The mango street house consists of 44 short character sketches or stories called episodes. They were told by Esperanza that she and her family moved to Mango street in Mario. As she saw on TV, Esperanza hates their house on Mango street, as it is not a "real" house. Esperanza's name means "hope" and she soon met Rucy and Rachel. She also met a wise marin about "women's affairs", but she was always trapped in the cousin she was taking care of. She discovered the fear of outsiders about the neighbor and the fear of making their neighbors 'brown'. She became a friend of Alicia attending college at night, so she will not be trapped in her because of the rest of her life.
