Setting: Outside, Rigid house, Loomis third floor,

Plot: Esperanza was insecure of her living conditions when a nun was walking by commenting on her house. The nun didn't say too much, all she said was "You live there?" in a confused tone.

Sentence that stood out and meaning: A sentence that stood out to me is "She looked out of the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow..

Subject of this Vignette: moving into a better house.

Sentence that is Meaningful to me: "Before Keeler it was Paulina, and before that I can't remember. But what I remember most  is moving a lot."

I chose this sentence because it reminds me of my family moving around a lot. My parents moved us around before I even immigrated to the US, I don't like how she doesn't remember past places she lived because I think it means no fond memories were made but I get because I can only remember certain places I've lived at which have memories I'll always remember to keep going in life.

Subject of this vignette: Moving into a new house but still hoping for something better

Theme: Sometimes in life, you will feel hopeless, but you should always stay positive and hope for better.

The sentence that is meaningful to me is the sentence "She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow... I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window."

I liked this sentence because it has a strong representation of Esperanza's desires to not be like her grandma and to not follow her family's path, but instead create her own.

Theme: things can be promised but they won't always be kept

Sentence: "For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go."

Explanation: I chose this sentence because it shows how she has most likely been 'lied' to by her parents before and how she shouldn't be very phased but in this situation, she is more disappointed than usual.

Plot: a young girl whos is constantly moving around and never staying in one place for too long is told that they are moving into a real house, she has high expectation for the house on mango street but is quickly disappointed when she sees it.

One sentence that stood out to me was, " The house on mango street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with people downstairs, or be careful to not make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom. But even so, its not the house we'd thought we'd get."
This sentence stood out to me because it showed the excitement that Esperanza had with the house before she saw it, she was happy that they we finally gonna get something that they own, but she was disappointed when she saw the house because it didn't live up to her expectations.

Theme: Things don't always plan out like you wanted them too.

Plot: A girl named Esperanzas life as she's been moving a lot and finding it hard to adjust to a new place .

Theme: Stepping out of your comfort zone.

Sentence/phrase that is meaningful to me: " Until then I am a red balloon , a balloon tied to an anchor"

Explanation: I chose this sentence because I feel like it helps sums up what the character feels like throughout this story . From that sentence I could interpret that she feels alone and by herself in her household and that helped me better understand the character and her feelings as I continued to read the story.

POV: first person
setting: a small red house in Chicago with bars in the windows .crumbling bricks, and a few trees planted outside.
characters: mom, dad, Carlos, Kiki, Esperanza, Nenny
plot: A young girl named Espernza  who moved  around from house to house lives in a " temporary house".  But deep down she knows that that's not true. The judgement she gets from others clouded her judgment of what a "real house" looks like. she now needs to live in a small red house in Chicago with  paint peeling, and bars on the windows, she lives with her 5 other family members. the hopes and dreams her parents soon become something she can only dream of.

" there. I had to look to where she pointed - the third floor, the paint peeling , wooden bars papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. you live there? the way she said it made me feel like nothing. there. I lived there. I nodded.

this was meaningful to me because Esperenza really took a step back to see her life in a perspective of another person. this also shows the hurt and true embarrassment she has for her home.

theme: perseverance, friendship, and a struggle/search for self-definition

# data[].attributes.body
POV: first person
Setting: small red house with tiny windows, a swollen front door, and no front yard.
Character: mom, dad, carlos, kiki, esperanza, nenny
Subject: Moving around and changing houses.
Plot: She's moving around a lot in search for a "better" house/life. She gets judged a lot by her housing situation and she's always told that their situation is temporary. This leaves her wanting more and she ends up just dreaming since the promises made to her were empty.
Theme: Things don't always happen in the way you think they will
"Temporary, says papa. But I know how those things go"
This line stood out to me because she's realizing that her parents are going to continue this temporary theme and keep moving around. I feel like she gains more independence and determination mentally after this when she wants to take things into her own hands-at least if not now, in the future.

Subject of this vignette: Esperanza wants to move to a better house because she has always lived in small apartments and she wants it better for her and her family

Theme: Stay positive and hopeful

Sentence that is meaningful to me: "You live there?"

Explanation: This part was interesting to me because Esperanza was ashamed to admit where she lived and it shows how she wants her life and her family to be different

# data[].attributes.body
POV: First Person

Setting: A small damaged house located on Mango Street

Characters: Esperanza , Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, and Nenny

Subject of Vignette: Moving into a new house

Theme: You may face struggles, but you have to persevere in order to get through them

An excerpt that is meaningful to me is on page 11 when Esperanza says "I would like to baptize myself under a new name, a name more like the real me, the one nobody sees. Esperanza as Lisandra or Maritza or Zeze the X. Yes. Somethin like Zeze the X will do."

The excerpt shows her having problems with how she sees herself compared to how to world sees her. She wants to change her name into something that represents her more which shows her struggles with self identity.

# data[].attributes.body
POV: First person, as the main character.

Setting: Small red house on Mango Street in Chicago with small steps and windows. With old crumbling bricks.

Characters: "Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, and me" (The main character and point of view of story"

Subject: Moving around from lots of houses throughout life

Theme: Even when life feels hopeless, stay positive. If you're at your lowest, you can only go up.

I think the most meaningful part of this story is when a woman asked where she lived, and the main character was ashamed of where she had to admit she lived.
I think this is very meaningful because it really shows the main characters true feelings and is kind of a realizing reality point. When after she says that's when she knew she had to have a real house because of how ashamed she was. The rest of the story wasn't as much of an emotional turning point as this.

POV: first person
Setting: small red house on mango street in Chicago
Characters: mama, papa, Esperanza, Carlos, Nenny, Kiki
Subject of this vignette: Moving into a new home and still hoping for something better
Theme: Things don't always work out how you want them too.
The sentence that is most meaningful to me is: ''The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise.''

# data[].attributes.body
POV: The story is told in first person

Setting: The setting of this story takes place on a house on Mango Street that's small and red with cramped stairs and small windows. And no front yard but a couple small trees.

Characters: The characters in the story are the girl telling the story, Esperanza, and her family. Mama, Papp, Carlos, Kiki, and Nenny.

Plot: Esperanza and her family move a lot with the hopes of finding their dream "home". But Esperanza always feels uncomfortable in every house, and is beginning to be ashamed of where she living even. Her family and her moved into a house on Mango Street hoping that it would live up to what they were hoping for but Esperanza quickly became disappointed when it wasn't.

Subject of vignette: Moving around

Theme: Change is sometimes scary but it's okay and it'll eventually work out.

Sentence: "I knew I had to have a house, a real one."
This sentence stands out to me because the amount of times where Esperanza has felt like her home isn't something worth sharing or showing anyone has made her feel like it's not a real one. Which I understand in a way but I think it's also just important to feel safe and comfortable. And she moves around so much so it's hard for her to feel this way.

characters: mama, papa, Carlos, Kiki, nenny, and esperanza

plot: a girl moves from many different places and never staying in just one for a long period amount of time and all she wants is one stable home to live in.

one sentence that stood out to me was
'' I knew then I  had to have a house. a real house. one I could point to. but this isn't it.''

it shows how the main characters life style was never really a stable one to begin with. she never felt as if she had a real home, like one to feel proud of, spend time in or just claim it as her own. instead she's so used to moving so much that she never knows when she'll find the right place for her and her family.

The house was in bad condition, the water pipe broke and the landlord wouldn't fix it because the house was too old. The family have to leave fast and settle in one of the house in mango street. They were excited to move into the house since the dad describe the house is very nice. but the house is not the way the Dad describe it.  It wasn't better then their last house bricks were crumbling in places, no front yard, small garage etc. One of the nun from school passed by and saw the girl playing outside and asked the girl "where do you live" the Nun asked.
"there" the girl pointed  up to the third floor
" you lived there" the nun pointed.
The girl looked at where the nun was pointed, the nun was pointing at the third floor, the paint was peeling, wooden bars, the dad had nailed on the window so no one would fall out.
" you lived there?" the nun asked.
they way the nun said it made the girl feel like nothing. The girl nodded, by then the girl knew she need to have a house a real house, one that she could point to.

Characters: Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, Esperanza, Nun

Plot: a young girl moves into a new house with her family, and is disappointed when she realizes her dream of living in a perfect house is out of reach. She fears judgment from the people around her, and loathes the "temporary" house she has to live in.

message: you should appreciate what you have while you have it and be grateful for what you're given

theme: Persistence, courage, poverty

sentence: " I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it." I chose this quote because it shows how people always want more than what they have, rather than appreciating what they are already given. I think enjoying what you already have is really important, so this quote really stood out to me.

Plot: A young girl is given high hopes when her parents tell her that they are going to live in this nice amazing house. She soon becomes disappointed, when the house they move into is not what she hoped. Esperanza, and her 5 other family members are now living in a small yard less red house in Chicago, and her parents claim that its only temporary, but Esperanza knows the truth. She soon becomes weary of what people think, because of the place that she is now living in.
Sentence: " I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isnt it. "
I chose this quote, because it speaks a lot to me. I find it hard to understand what a " real house " is, and based on this story I can tell that many people are unappreciative of where they live, and what their family provides for them, simply because its not " what they had in mind ". I feel like you should always be grateful for things that you have, because there will always be a time where people will wish what you had and more.

POV: 1st person

Setting: Her house on mango street in Chicago

Character: mama, papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny/Magdalena, and her/Esperanza

Subject of this vignette: Moving into a new house that's better than the last place they lived in but dreaming for more and something better

A sentence that is meaningful to me is the one that says, which is supposed to be bad luck if you're born female-but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese , like the Mexicans, don't like their women strong"

I like this sentence because I like how she doesn't believe that it's bad luck because of how she knows they think of their women. It kind of makes me feel like she's standing up for herself and for other women in a way and it makes me feel happy to see that.

Setting: Small red house, wooden bars in the windows, bricks crumbling, with no yard and four little elms

Characters: The main character, mom, dad, Carlos, Kiki, and Nenny

Subject: Finding a better place to live that lives up to all of their desires

Theme: You shouldn't lose hope because if you keep trying you will eventually get what you deserve

Sentence that is meaningful to me: "The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise."

I like this because it shows that even though this house isn't the one she dreams of things have gotten better than they used to be after moving a lot and they hopefully will continue to get better.

Setting: Houses, Mango Street

Characters: Mom, Dad, Carlos, Kiki, Sister, The girl

Plot: Girl that moves into many towns like Loomis, Keeler, Paulina. She moves and moves and she just wants to find a
good house

Sentence: " The way she said it made me feel like nothing"

I think this stands out to me because sometimes people say things to me that I do not like. When they say stuff that I dont like start to overthink and then I just go silent and makes me feel like im nothing.

POV: First Person

Setting: The house on Mango Street. The house is small and red, with tight steps in front and windows that are extremely small.
Bricks are crumbling and the house is not in good shape in any way shape or form.

Characters: Main character, Mom, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny.

Subject of this vignette: Although change can be hard and often if you keep your hopes up things will get better.

Theme: Poverty, Persistence, Endurance.
Things will get better as long as you believe it will.

The sentence that is meaningful to me from this text is "The house on Mango Street isn't it."

I chose this sentence because I think it captures a lot of emotions with the context about how the main character is longing for stability and a place to call home. I think this also shows hope because the main character is hinting to change in the future where her family and herself can have a place to stay and not have to move around.

pov: first person
setting: old apartments and the beaten down house on mango street
subject: moving houses
theme: don’t judge others without knowing their situations
excerpt i liked: “you live there?” “The way she said it made me feel like nothing.”
why it connected to me: People put others down based on things they can’t really control, the nun said it like it was their fault or choice to live in the old apartment and judged without knowing what the family was struggling with. I relate to it because i’ve been put down on things i couldn’t control either and it hurts.
