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.¤

5) Paperback Book The House on Mango Street by Vintage. This book is SO boring. It took me 2 weeks to get past the first 2 pages, then another 3 months to read half the book. I have to finish this piece of crap by the end of summer (school assignment), and the district is making us do an 8 page packet! However, this book is good for something. If your having trouble sleeping, don´t take pills, read this book, I guarantee you´ll be asleep by the end the fist paragraph.¤

Acclaimed by critics, beloved by children, their parents and grandparents, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, it has entered the canon of coming-of-age classics.

Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous, The House on Mango Street tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, whose neighborhood is one of harsh realities and harsh beauty. Esperanza doesn´t want to belong--not to her rundown neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Esperanza´s story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will become.¤
