"Those who don't know any better come into our neighborhood scared. They think we're
dangerous.
They think we will attack them with shiny knives. They are stupid people who are lost and got
here by mistake. But we aren't afraid. We know the guy with the crooked eye is Davey the
Baby's brother, and the tall one next to him in the straw brim, that's Rosa's Eddie V. and the
big one that looks like a dumb grown man, he's Fat Boy, though he's not fat anymore nor a
boy.
All brown all around, we are safe. But watch us drive into a neighborhood of another color and
our knees go shakity-shake and our car windows get rolled up tight and our eyes look straight.
Yeah. That is how it goes and goes."]]> 2023-09-14 15:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2704440778 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2704489516 This quote directly shows how different perspectives of society and class can change the way that a group is seen from a first-person view to a third-person perspective. In the quote, the main character Esperanza is speaking about how people, most likely from a higher class or a different neighborhood, see her neighborhood and how they are scared to enter Mango Street. She portrays them as lost and says that they don't know any better than to think that the people on Mango Street are dangerous, loosely inferring that  this is because they are being judged in a negative way because they are not white. Even though Esperanza knows that they are incorrect about her neighborhood, she still makes the same assumptions herself about a different neighborhood than her own specifically saying, "All brown all around, we are safe. But watch us drive into a neighborhood of another color and
our knees go shakity-shake and our car windows get rolled up tight and our eyes look straight.
Yeah. That is how it goes and goes." This shows how the perspective that you view affects your opinions and actions.]]> 2023-09-14 16:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2704489516 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705158216 page 5 "You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing. There. I lived there. I nodded."]]> 2023-09-15 02:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705158216 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705180344 In this quote, Esperanza is pointing out her house to one of the nuns from her school who is from a different class and or society. This quote shows how to some people, like Esperanza, things seem to be enough at the moment but somebody from a different class or society can tend to impact their emotions, opinions, and actions due to this difference in class and society ( this is not clear here. your idea is not coming through)

This quote shows how to those who are not part of the same socioeconomic class as Esperanza, look down on people like her. This in turn also impacts the way in which people like Esperanza see themselves, as she immediately feels shame upon seeing the nun's reaction to where she lives. Her perspective of herself is affected by how others judge her. ]]> 2023-09-15 02:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705180344 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705188835 This image represents the way that class and society are on Mango Street.

The boys in their universe and we in ours. My brothers for example. They've got plenty to say to me and Nenny inside the house.

This quote refers specifically to the different roles that females and males play in class and society and the divisions made by the societal expectation of how boys and girls should interact with one another. ]]> 2023-09-15 03:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2705209651 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711094772 Gender roles have the effect of creating a divide between the men and women on Mango Street to the point where they live in two different worlds with different standards and expectations, creating a paradigm in which they are not equal or have the ability to coexist.]]> 2023-09-19 15:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711094772 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711100343 page 92 "He thinks I'm going to run away like his sisters who made the family ashamed. just because I'm the daughter..."]]> 2023-09-19 15:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711100343 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711101441 This quote comes from a chapter in which the subject is Sally. Sally's father is abusive; this abuse stems from his sisters running away, which creates shame amongst the family. This event caused Sally's father to keep her in the house. All of this comes back to the fact that she is a woman, and her dad is scared that she will run away just like his sisters. This creates an idea that seems to be repeating itself: the girls have to stay at home and stay hidden while the boys get to go out and live.]]> 2023-09-19 15:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711101441 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711102196 page 79 "On Tuesdays Rafaela's husband comes home late because that's the night he plays dominoes. And then Rafaela, who is still young but getting old from leaning out the window so much, gets locked indoors because her husband is afraid Rafaela will run away since she is too beautiful to look at."]]> 2023-09-19 15:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711102196 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711102873 This quote perfectly shows the different expectations and standards that each gender has to battle with. This quote illustrates that Raefeala's husband is allowed to go out and play dice, while Rafaela has to stay inside, locked up, dreaming from her window, aging, and missing out on life. while the male in the relationship is allowed to have a social life and generally live a humane life, while the female in this relationship must stay inside locked up due to her beauty and the idea that pretty women should just stay inside, and if they were to be free, they would run away since they are "too beautiful to be looked at", as the quote says.]]> 2023-09-19 15:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711102873 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711103324 page 101 "She says she is in love, but I think she did it to escape.

gets to buy her own things when her husband gives her
money. She is happy, except sometimes her husband gets
angry and once he broke the door where his foot went
through, though most days he is okay."]]> 2023-09-19 15:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711103324 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711103938 This quote illustrates the cycle women in The House on Mango Street endure while also creating a precedent where men are given the authority to decide when the women are allowed to leave the house, whether it is the father or the husband; they both almost seem to play similar roles. This brings me to the idea of the cycle that most women go through where they are shown an idea of how a man acts towards women, then escape this situation with a slightly better option where they endure less abuse yet still are confined to the home away from society.]]> 2023-09-19 15:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711103938 eli_himelstein https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711104912 This image shows the issues and the divide brought about by the differences in the way that men and women live their lives. On the right, you have the women; on the surface (the middle), they appear to be mostly equal, but once you look broader, you see that on the right, after a certain line, the women have a rather uneventful life in which individual entities blend. This line seems to be marriage, as before marriage, women can go out and lead an eventful or partially eventful life, yet after marriage, the lives are essentially dictated by the husband. On the left, you see a more eventful environment with more distinctions; this represents the male side of the dynamic, where they have little to no limitations on what they can do within the dynamic.]]> 2023-09-19 15:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/eli_himelstein/74s2wsg993d6hti/wish/2711104912
