Answer 10

“The dog is big, like a man dressed in a dog suit, and runs the same way its owner does, clumsy and wild and with the limbs flopping all over the place like untied shoes” (page 21) This part is where the new kid(Meme Ortiz) comes into the neighborhood and even his dog matches the way that the environment is.

Answer 11

i think the reason being is the dog is just like his owner since his owner has two names the dog picked up on it and responds to both just as his owner does

Answer 15

I have to choose one question per chapter

Answer 16

For marin choose 2

heres that one or rather what will help

Marin's boyfriend is in Puerto Rico. She shows us his letters and makes us promise not to tell anybody they're getting married when she goes back to P.R. She says he didn't get a job yet, but she's saving the money she gets from selling Avon and taking care of her cousins.
Marin says that if she stays here next year, she's going to get a real job downtown because that's where the best jobs are, since you always get to look beautiful and get to wear nice clothes and can meet someone in the subway who might marry you and take you to live in a big house far away.
But next year Louie's parents are going to send her back to her mother with a letter saying she's too much trouble, and that is too bad because I like Marin. She is older and knows lots of things. She is the one who told us how Davey the Baby's sister got pregnant and what cream is best for taking off moustache hair and if you count the white flecks on your fingernails you can know how many boys are thinking of you and lots of other things I can't remember now.

Answer 17

Those who don't choose 2

use this to help ya


They think we will attack them with shiny knives. They are stupid people who are lost and got here by mistake. But we aren't afraid. We know the guy with the crooked eye is Davey the Baby's brother, and the tall one next to him in the straw brim, that's Rosa's Eddie V., and the big one that looks like a dumb grown man, he's Fat Boy, though he's not fat anymore nor a boy.

Answer 18

and this
All brown all around, we are safe.

Answer 19

There was an old woman Choose 2

use this

They are bad those Vargases, and how can they help it with only one mother who is tired all the time from buttoning and bottling and babying, and who cries every day for the man who left without even leaving a dollar for bologna or a note explaining how come.
The kids bend trees and bounce between cars and dangle upside down from knees and almost break like fancy museum vases you can't replace. They think it's funny. They are without respect for all things living, including themselves.

Answer 20

Alicia choose number 1
use this

Close your eyes and they'll go away, her father says, or You're just imagining. And anyway, a woman's place is sleeping so she can wake up early with the tortilla star, the one that appears early just in time to rise and catch the hind legs hide behind the sink, beneath the four-clawed tub, under the swollen floorboards nobody fixes, in the corner of your eyes.

Answer 21

oh wow. thanks wow.

Answer 22

welcome

Answer 23

What are Marin's values?

Esperanza admires Marin because "she is older and knows lots of things" (27). Marin is worldly, and flaunts a sense of sexuality that the younger girls are only beginning to discover. Marin also has dreams of escaping Mango Street, and appears to the others to have options which will allow her to do that. She has a boyfriend in Puerto Rico, whom she plans to marry when she goes back, and if she stays in Chicago another year, she will "get a real job downtown...(where) you always get to look beautiful and get to wear nice clothes and can meet someone in the subway who might marry you and take you to live in a big house far away"(26).

Answer 24

actually ill close this and post a new question lol
