Throughout the Vignette, Marin is continuously characterised as a naive and overly hopeful child. Cisneros archives this effect through her decision to use words like "Might" and "If." through this, Cisneros implies that Marin is going on and on about what amazing things might happen to her, without ever pausing to wonder if they would. This displays her naivety, because she thinks everything will just happen to her, without her effort required.

The syntax used in this vignette varies throughout the text. It starts off with short quick sentences to explain the topic which is about Marin, her boyfriend, and goals that she wishes to accomplish. As it continues on to the end of the vignette the sentences become more detailed and start to wrap up the vignette by describing Marin's actual life in Mango Street. Cisneros used syntax here because it helps the reader understand the perspective of what was going on with Marin through the point of view of Esperanza.

In this vignette, Cisnero's choice of diction orbits around describing things about Marin like her looks or her personality. Most word choices seem to be positive and phrases like, "Marin's skirts are shorter and since her eyes are pretty, and since Marin is already older than us in many ways," This is used because it shows how much Esperanza values Marin as a rebel and aspires to be like her.

The main point coming across in this Vignette is how people get scared when they are around something they are not used to. The word 'they' is used as to describing people unlike Esperanza. In the second paragraph, she is listing the characteristics of people in her neighborhood that outsiders think to be intimidating, but on the inside they just have their own unique personality. This listing is a form of repitition.
