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.]]> 2020-10-15 17:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833258259 "I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window." jadon_wang https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833259019 2020-10-15 17:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833259019 ella_tran1 https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833262017 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.

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. ]]> 2020-10-15 17:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833265800 ß jacob_hano https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833269655 2020-10-15 17:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833269655 finn_tratnyek https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833270373 “but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, just like the Mexicans, don’t like their women strong.”]]> 2020-10-15 17:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833270373 william_stidsen https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833273824 “Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor.“]]> 2020-10-15 17:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833273824 she katherine_dinsmore https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833276789 she feels a sense of belonging when she is around her mom the smell of her moms hair makes her feel safe.

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.

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.]]> 2020-10-15 20:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/833953427 celia_coleman https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/834178491 “At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth.”]]> 2020-10-15 22:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/834178491 celia_coleman https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/834181016 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.

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.]]> 2020-10-16 04:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/834727557 lauren_li https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/834736535 "In English my name means hope.

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.]]> 2020-10-16 17:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/836403534 "I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window." dylangkagan https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/836407876 2020-10-16 17:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/836407876 Identity alfie_chien https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/837678334 Family, friends,arts and interests, philosophies, culture, religion, hobbies, sports, community, race, media]]> 2020-10-17 14:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/837678334 Self-image alfie_chien https://padlet.com/r_hickey/dblockmangostreet/wish/837680203 Her self image is not very good.

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.

Cathy abandons Esperanza after her kind gesture towards Lucy and Rachel, and whenever she mentioned her name to people beforehand, people would laugh.
