"The House on Mango Street" YOU ONLY GOT TO AWNSER ONE SO IT DOSENT SCARE YOU What is the tone of the first paragraph on pg. 3? Esperanza is the narrator of this story. What is her attitude toward the Mango St. house? What is the tone at the end of the second paragraph? Why does the family have to tell everyone when they take a bath? What is the dream house that Esperanza describes on pg. 4, and what does it show about her? Why does Esperanza disapprove of the house on Mango Street?  Why does Esperanza want a real house?

"For Esperanza, a house represents status, security, and a rise above poverty. A real house would give her privacy: It would give her a space of her own where she could forge her identity. It would be a place she could be proud of, and it would be physical evidence that she belonged somewhere. With all the moving that her family has done, Esperanza hasn’t had the chance to develop a sense of place, and she feels that she doesn’t belong anywhere." For the question :Why does Esperanza want a real house?

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

alright :/ theres like nine more of these sections of questions

alones (alones):

O.M.G LOL!

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

lol I know you can quit whenever

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

“Hairs" Why is Esperanza's description of the "broom" funny? In what ways does Esperanza's mother influence her? Why does Esperanza focus on hair? What picture do we get about each person simply by a description of his or her hair? What is the effect of connecting the snoring, the rain and Mama's hair? Esperanza describes her mother's hair as being "like little candy circles all curly and pretty." What does this metaphor, and those in the next paragraph, suggest about Esperanza's feelings for her mother?

alones (alones):

Is "Hairs" another book?

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

no the next chapter
