Esperanza's mother could have died

# data[].attributes.body
In the book it says how her mom was suffering from depreshon so because she kept hopeing she got better.

# data[].attributes.body
Of coarse Esperanza doesn't win queen.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emma about racism.

# data[].attributes.body
At one of the camps, they only let mexicans swim on friday afrernoons. Right before they only the mexicans CLEAN the pool. This is a show of racism because the americans are not being fair to all the mexicans including the mexicans that are children. I think that the americans are doing this because they think mexicans don't deserve the same equal rights that americans get.

The people that work on the railroad are not letting Miguel work for them because he is mexican.

Isabelle's school is dicriminating kids because they don't look perfect:(

# data[].attributes.body
Discrimination is happening in the book because it says" they always find a way to get a blonde blue eyed queen."This is unfair to Esperanza because she is none of those things.

# data[].attributes.body
What might happen with Marta and her mother at the farm. In the book it says "I would rather be here than at that disgusting camp."

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how Esperanza is going to bring Alfanzo to the camp

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza's mom has pneumonia!

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza has a very kind heart because she gave away her pinata and beans to another family that had no food at all.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with florence.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emma that Esperanza will have to work harder then before but I wonder why she won't let Miguel help her with the sweeping of the platform.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Esperanza rising Esperanza's mother might die because she is very sick right now and is not getting better but not getting worse. This is also a thing to show that the camp is a hard thing to get through.

# data[].attributes.body
Since mama got sick Esperanza is going to work harder then she has.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Esperanza rising Esperanza and her family are stuck in a camp that is like a being a slave. They dont like it there but they have a special bathtub in the back of the hut with the fathers special roses that they had to dig deep for the flowers in the pile of rubble. then they had a little party of bathing and did each others hair after they took a bath. Even though they are in a camp they are doing well.

I think that it was weird that they took candy from an old poor lady I think that the mom might have wanted some kind of sweetness in their lives because papa died.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont really know what is so important about that part of the text but maybe it happend to have something sweet since her dad died.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that being poor changed Esperanza's mom because now She let Esperanza take candy from another peasant. It seems that Esperanza's mom doesn't care as much as she used to.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book when it says "that the poor lady on the train asked if Esperanza wanted some sweets it said that Esperanza was supprized that mama said yes because she never usally said yes so I am wondering why the change of hart.

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza and her family are going through a hard time with the dad killed and they dont know who did it so I think that them not knowing who the killed papa can put more pressure on them because then there could be maniacs running around.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Florence's thought was interesting about the mayer because if he married anyone else he would lose that opportunity to win mayer. I think Florence should be a little more specific. Also in a way I do agree with her that he could win and be Mayer.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think that Esperanza and her mom

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Esperanza's mom and senior Rodriguez might get married at the end because they both care about eachother:)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Emma could be correct or she could be wrong. I say this because you never know things can suprise you when you are not expecting it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Tio Lues is not going to find out that Esperanza and her mom left.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Senor Rodriguez acually cares about Esperanza and her mother because in the book he says "now we must hurry you need protection of the darkness."

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Annelise that he set up people to kill Esperanza's father but I dont think he was one of the bandits.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Florence that Tio Lues just wants power but I still do think that he ether set up people to kill Esperanza's father or he was lucky that that could happen. I also think that Tio Lues could be one of the bandits but not the one that killed the father.

# data[].attributes.body
Well I think the only reason Tio Lues wants to marry Esperanza's mother is because he wants power. and in the book is says he is runing for mayer and if he has Esperanza's mother as his wife he will win as mayer

# data[].attributes.body
Since the uncles may have tried to kill Esperanza and her mom. This makes me think that they did kill Esperanza's dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emma that it is weird that Tio Lues wants to marry Esperanza's mother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Esperanza's dad was a huge loss to the family. Also I agree with Emma that Tio Lues might have killed her dad

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Tio Lues want to marry Esperanza's mom specifically.

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza's dad has been killed and it was going to be Esperanza's birthday. :(

# data[].attributes.body
Did Tio Lues kill Esperanza's dad so he could marry her mom?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you that Esperanza's motivation is her dad going missing.

# data[].attributes.body
Her motivation from her dad missing is to o be brave.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Esperanza's problem is that her dad is missing and that gives her a motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Esperanza's dad died because he went out and didn't come back. Also someone told Esperanza that the bandits were out.

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza tells Maguel that there is a river between them of differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Esperanza wants to get married to Maguel.
