The chapter was about Half-awake, Esperanza hears her Papa singing "Happy Birthday" to her from outside her window. For a moment she believes that her father is still alive, but then she wakes up on her Papa’s side of her parents’ bed. Reality settles in and Esperanza must accept the tragedy from the night before - bandits killed her beloved father while he was repairing a fence on their ranch. Esperanza hears a knock at the front door. It is Señor Rodríguez, Marisol’s father, who has come to deliver papayas. Señor Rodríguez explains that Papa had ordered the fruits especially for Esperanza's birthday party. Esperanza is then forced to explain her father’s death to his dear friend; Marisol’s father is overcome with grief.

Esperanza mimics her Mama’s mannerisms while accepting condolences during the three day mourning rituals for Papa. She finally lets her façade drop when she is alone with Marisol and starts crying openly. Late at night, Esperanza can hear her mother crying softly. Esperanza ignores her birthday presents until Mama insists that she open them. Of all her presents, Esperanza's favorite is an exquisite doll from Papa.

"the conversation continued to go in circles." I liked this sentence because it went with the flow, just like when we played the game and we kept rolling and didn't stop. That makes things more exciting.

Esperanza heard papa and the others singing they were outside her window and their voices were clear and melodic.Before she was aware,she smiled because her first thought was her birthday. I should  get up and wave kisses to papa.But when she opened her eyes, she realized she was in her parents bed,on papa's side that still smelled like him, and the song had been in her dreams. Why hand she slept in her own room? Then  the events of last night wrenched her min into reality. Her smile faded her chest tightened, and a heavy blanket of anguish smothered her smallest joy.
