Question

Does this answer make sense?

Answer 1

How does Esperanza regard her responsibility as an older sister?

Esperanza notes that boys and girls do not socialize with each other in the neighborhood. Even though she can talk to her brothers at home, they refuse to talk to her outside. Because of this, Esperanza must socialize with her younger sister Nenny, who, Esperanza notes, is too young and would not be her choice for a friend if she were not her sister. Esperanza writes “Nenny is too young to be my friend. She's just my sister and that was not my fault. You don't pick your sisters, you just get them and sometimes they come like Nenny” (8). Worse, Nenny is Esperanza’s responsibility. Esperanza has to make sure that Nenny does not play with the Vargas kids. Esperaza says “She can't play with those Vargas kids or she'll turn out just like them. And since she comes right after me, she is my responsibility” (8). Esperanza longs for a best friend. Without one she compares herself to a “red balloon tied to an anchor” (9).
