She feels a sense of belonging with her mother based off of how she described her mother’s hair. She had a very detailed and long description of her hair compared to the shorter descriptions of the rest of her family. She said that she feels safe with her mother and her mother seems to make everything seem okay in a community that Esperanza doesn’t necessarily enjoy.
She doesn’t think that she belongs in the community that she lives in. She doesn’t have many friends which could be a result of lack of involvement within her community. She seems to remain quiet but is very observant of what is going on around her.

# data[].attributes.body
She feels comfort being with her family. She feels a sense of belonging with her parents and her siblings from the way she described them. She feels a sense of belonging with her new friends because they lived in the same environment as her. The new friends don’t make her feel bad about her house, her name or her family . She feels a disconnect from people that have more money than her or nicer houses. The nun made her feel bad about her house and Esperanza can not wait to get a bigger, nicer house. She feels embarrassed around certain people that don’t fully understand her.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive: In the vignette “Laughter,” she sees a building that reminds her of Mexico. However, she also notes that the building doesn’t actually look anything like the ones there. It shows that she has such a deep level of connection with Mexico that she connects certain things with it.
Negative: In the vignette “The House on Mango Street,” when the nun sounds a bit shocked and disgusted that Esperanza lives there, Esperanza feels embarrassed and ashamed of her home. She feels a sense of disconnect there.

Esperanza feels a sense of belonging with Rachel and Lucy since they are pretty much her only friend. Esperanza’s only other friend is  leaving on Tuesday so she will be counting on the two sisters. She feels disconnected from her brothers who she never even associates with outside of her house. She describes them as each other’s best friend and her on the side.

A positive feeling she had was when she and her two new friends, Rachel and Lucy, rode on one bike down the street. A negative feeling she had was when Cathy disrespected people like Esperanza and made her feel worse. She feels a sense of belonging with her sister Nenny because they have a similar mind and sense of humor. She feels a disconnect from the neighborhood she's living in because she always imagined herself to live in a big house with rooms for everybody, and not a house with only one room and looks banged up on the outside.

Esperanza has her eyes open to the world. She is very observative of the things and people around her. She depends her life on the goal of having a best friend. This could be a negative impact because she is dedicating her thoughts and feelings towards one thing. She has a feeling of a disconnection of the world without her. she feels left out and the need to feel more included.she does not feel like she belongs anywhere yet.

Esperanza's self-image was negatively impacted in the first vignette after the nun commented on her house, making Esperanza feel ashamed and embarrassed. Being friends with Rachel, Lucy, and even Cathy. Having someone other than Nenny to talk to helps Esperanza. She finds a sense of belonging in her mother's hair and in different places of familiarity, and a sense of disconnect at school and other places where Esperanza is different from everyone else.

“At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth.”

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza feels very disconnected from her current house. She has moved around a lot and already feels a loss of security regarding her housing, which adds to her current disconnect. Her parents would described to her a time when they would finally have their own house, and they would tell her what the house would look like. Now they finally have their own house, but it’s nothing like what they described. She expresses her discontent and disappointment with the house through her descriptions of it as well as her neighborhood.

She feels a sense of belonging with her family. For example when she describes her mother and her hair. How it gives her comfort, that shows she feels safe with her. But she feels disconnected with her school and neighborhood. For example she feels different from other people and wishes her name was normal like other peoples names.

She feels comfortable with her family. They have a strong aspect of familiarity, whether it be her mother's hair, her dad's snoring, or how she and Nenny can relate back to Mexico. In the beginning, she doesn't have any friends; however, her family provides security.
As aforementioned, she doesn't have any friends (at least not at the beginning). She feels disconnected from the neighborhood, and maybe the world as a whole. For example, though not presented with too much detail, she's clearly offended by Cathy's comment, about how the "neighborhood is getting bad," referring to people like her.

Esperanza has a complex self image, as do most children when growing up. As she matures, she gains more confidence and a sense of connection. This is most likely due to her making new and close friends, as well as her learning more about herself and discovering what makes her happy. However, this self esteem can often lead to over confidence, and even hubris. Esperanza must remain cautious while continuing to define herself, so as to avoid defining herself in a way she and others will come to look down upon.

Her self image is not very good. She moves a lot so she never gets understand her community and she is poor and she gets comments about it and she doesn't feel good about it. A positive feeling she has is when she befriends Rachel and Lucy who come off as weird to Esperanza's friend but Esperanza likes them and ends up having a lot of fun with them. A negative feeling she had was when a nun berated Esperanza for her house and making her feel bad. She feels a sense of belonging with her mom as she describes her the most out of the family and has nothing bad to say. She feels disconnected with the typical people who have enough money as well as her grandma's name Esperanza as she says she doesn't like that.

“We didn’t always live on Mango street. Before that, we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler...and before that I can’t remember" This shows that she never stays too long anywhere and shows a huge symbol of not belonging early on as she never gets to familiarize herself with the place or the community

Esperanza feels very connected to her mother, but she feels disconnected from her brothers because they will not interact with her outside the house. She feels a burden of responsibility in that she must take care of her younger sister Nenny. She also really connects with her new friends right away and they have a lot of fun together right away.

Esperanza feels betrayed. Not only by her family, who has to move when they said they wouldn't, but also by the people who were in the neighborhood before she moved in. Cathy abandons Esperanza after her kind gesture towards Lucy and Rachel, and whenever she mentioned her name to people beforehand, people would laugh. But eventually, after some time in the community, Esperanza finds where she belongs, as well as making a few new friends in the process, that being Rachel and Lucy. This belonging eases her sense of betrayal, and finally makes her at home.

She feels disconnected from the neighborhood she lives in.  As she grew up, Esperanza and her family moved around a lot and she never felt like anywhere was her home because of the big white house was her ideal dream.
Esperanza's name isn't a very conventional one, kids would make fun of it and it would make her feel like an outsiders at school. Then she meets Rachel and Lucy, they don't laugh at her or look at her funny because they're just as weird as she is. They make her feel like she has actual friends

She doesn’t like her name, and thinks that others might judge her by it, when other people just think it’s neat, a positive thing about her self-image is that she likes hanging out whenever she can with the little amount of friends she does have to make good relations. She definitely feels a sense of belonging with her family, but disconnected from her community as she moves a lot

“Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor.” This symbolizes how Esperanza is basically tied to talking and being friends with her little sister and how she cannot remove this bond easily by herself and needs a friend to do it.

From the start of the book, it is apparent that Esperanza feels a strong disconnect from her world. She feels connected to her family. She always feels comforted by her mother and thinks she shared some similarities with her sister (their laugh). However, Esperanza does not think she belongs on Mango St. She has a hard time developing lasting friendships and an even more difficult time deciding who she wants to be.
