The House on Mango Street

This novella The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros was very interesting. This girl Esperanza, was the main character that was describing her life as she was growing up. I loved how she started to talk about how the environment around her had changed as she moved into the house on Mango street. The author did a very good job describing Esperanza's perspective on everything that happened that specific day. The descriptions of the book were so descriptive that you saw the image in your head and it kept the reader attached to the book. The thing that is weird in this story was that the events that happened in Esperanza's life were given to the reader randomly, which confused the reader. It also disrupted the reader's attention to understand the novella. But at the same time this gave you how Esperanza was living and how the setting of the novella was. Also so far Esperanza had just made new friends Rachel and Lucy, and she and her friend shared a bike with each other. I found it amusing how Esperanza bought her friends for 5 dollars. The humor in this book was also very entertaining, and interesting. Esperanza's characteristics were a major part of the story, because her courage and strength to live in the harsh conditions were shown through out her whole life. This novella had kept my attention, and I can't wait to continue the book.
