House On Mango Street

The theme of Sandra Cisneros's book "The Man On Mango Street" is how fantasy can move you. There are many different quotes and stories in the story that explains how Esperanza and her friends are fancy in their future life. I will explain how Esperanza's friends wait for a perfect husband to marry and take away from Mango Street. Almost every story has people who are fancy and I want to know how good life will be when they grow up. I will explain how the house grows and how happy it is.

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.
