The House On Mango Street written by Sandra Ciserno, it is a bunch of short stories or vignette. The whole story describes the thoughts, feelings, and memories of Esperanza, a hispanic girl living in the poor area of Chicago. She dreams to escape her world and getting a house of her own. At the same time, she grows up and starts to leave her childhood, while learning about the fears and dangers of the world she never knew of before. She finds out becoming an adult turns out to be a hard challenge.When we first started reading this book I thought it was going to be a depressing book about a family leaving in poverty. It was exactly that it did not appeal to me at all. The only thing that I enjoyed was Cisneros way of telling a story. The way she would describe some of these situations you felt you were right there with experonza. My favorite vignette was the one about how she visited her sick aunt.
