She sadly looses her father when he got attacked one night of his brothers plan when he was working. She also looses her house in a fire because of her fathers brother. Because of her house was burnt down, she now is poor and has to live in a camp in America. When they leave they have too leave behind Abuelita. I liked this book because even though Esperanza went through really hard times, she still found a way to always be happy. Even though she was a little rude some time, she learns more into the story that you don't need money to be happy and that you can be happy with just family. ]]> 2017-11-07 13:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204335169 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204335240 2017-11-07 13:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204335240 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204339590   -Isabella Nazario-]]> 2017-11-07 13:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204339590 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204341858 Esperanza Rising is about a young Mexican rich girl who's father passes away. Her uncles try to take over and now Esperanza and her family has to move to the United States during the Great Depression. She is now poor and has to learn how to do chores, cook, clean, and learn how to take care of the babies Lupe and Pepe. I liked the part when Esperanza learned how to do chores because she showed everyone that she could do something and not just sit around. I would recommend this book because it's very inspiring.]]> 2017-11-07 14:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204341858 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204341936 I liked the part when mama came back and Abuleta came back because Miguel. this book was about a rich girl and her father died she learned that money its everything and you only thing you need is family.

One day her father never came back from working in the fields. Esperanzas uncles came back with her dead father in the back of a wagon. A couple days later her house was burned down. So they moved to California because if tehy didn't Esperanza's mother would have to marry Tio Luis. It took them days to get to the US. Once they got there they were greeted by other family, Juan, Josefina, Isabel, Pepe, and Lupe at the train station. Once they got to the camp they got settled in. They were there for a couple of years then there was a dust storm and mama got Valley Fever. Esperanza wasn't aloud to see her for 5 minths because of germs. After mama got back an dwas back at teh ca,mo for about couple of months Esperanza had a racism fight with Miguel and that caused him to go off with Esperanza's money orders. HAfter a couple of days he called and asked Hortensia, Alfonso and Esperanza to picik him up at t6eh train station. ]]> 2017-11-07 15:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204389459 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204389684 Esperanza Rising is about a girl that is the daughter of a wealthy land owner. Her fathers' brothers killed him and burnt down their house because everyone liked his wife and he can marry his wife and become governor. Esperanza, mama, Hortensia, Miguel, and Alfonso escaped to a farm in California and leave Abuelita behind. The all worked very hard on the farm and eventually mama caught coccidioidomycosis, aka valley fever. Esperanza works hard to make money to help mama and bring Abuelita home. Miguel steals all Esperanzas money and brings Abuelita home and mama starts to feel better. I think it was a pretty good book. Unless you count the fact that In the beggining of the book both Esperanza and Marta were snarky and incontrovertible and they both liked Miguel because he was very indubitable and they could both always rely on him. I like the fact that in the end the show that Miguel were finally on the same side of the river of society. I like it because Esperanza always had a crush on him and Miguel always had a crush on her and now it will work out. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes  perilous and  interconnection between 2 people that are on " Opposite Sides Of The River". Because they are always on some kind of adventure, either physically or emotionally.]]> 2017-11-07 15:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204389684 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390178 I liked the book because of all the amazing parts through out the story putting it all together. The book is about a Mexican girl named Esperanza who loved his papa until it was near her birthday when Miguel and Alfonso came home with papa under a blanket dead under a truck. Then papas brothers come and ask to marry mama and she says no until he burns down the house and burns the vine yard. So they settled and mama said yes i will marry you but instead she and the rest of the family rain away as leaving Abuelita behind. They arrive in California and end up working form money as Esperanza is now a peasant and is no longer wealthy. They work and one day mama gets valley fever and was in the hospital for 5-6 moths. She comes back and when Miguel took all Esperanza money Miguel spent on what Esperanza really wanted. that was to bring Abuelita back for mama. They lesson was to don't be afraid to start a new life some where else. My favorite part was when Miguel got what Esperanza wanted unknowing he was doing that by bringing Abuelita back home for mama as a surprise.]]> 2017-11-07 15:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390178 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390558 Esperanza  rising is about a mexican girl who was born into a very weatlhy family so she was practiclly treated like a princess but sadly her  dad died after being ambushed her uncle set fire to their house so he commited murder and arson Esperanza, mama,Hortenzia, Alfonso,and Miquel escape by train to go to the United ]]> 2017-11-07 15:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390558 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390856 Esperanza Rising is about the daughter of a wealthy landowner in Aguascalientes, Mexico. When her father is murdered by her uncles and her house burns down, she must escape her Tio Luis by migrating to America. Throughout the journey, Esperanza learns what it is like to be poor, and starts to realize that she is not the spoiled daughter anymore. When they reach California, Esperanza has to learn how to do simple chores she never had to complete before. When Mama gets sick, Esperanza must learn to work hard to bring Abuelita from Mexico. But when Mama finally comes home, the money is gone! They figure out that Miguel took the money to bring Abuelita home. This is a great book of loss and recovery, and I highly recommend it to those who think they will never get out of a low point in their life.]]> 2017-11-07 15:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390856 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390915 Esperanza Rising is a book about a very spoiled daughter of a wealthy landowner and how here life took a big turn after her Papa died. She lived a very lucky life as a spoiled girl but her father got murdered by her uncle , Tio Luis. Then, Tio Luis tortures Esperanza and her Mama even more by setting their house on fire , asking Mama to marry him, and taking over their home, El Ranchos De Las Rosas. Esperanza and her Mama couldn't take it anymore and they decided to leave to America with their servants, Miguel, Hortensia, and Alfonso. Things did not get much better in America. They had to leave Abuelita behind, they became peasants which Esperanza was not used to, they had to work hard, they came during the Great Deppression, some people were going on strike when they came, and Mama got sick. With the help of Isabel, Hortensia, Miguel, Alfonso, and Isabel's parents, things would get better. My favorite part of the book was when Abuelita came to America because everyone was so happy to see her that it made me very happy for them. This book taught me that even if you're going through a hard time, things will get better. I would defenitely reccommend this book because it is a touching story about a girl going through a hard time and how they try to solve all of their problems. It made me happy and it made me cry. I really like how much the characters change throughout the book because it makes it very unique.]]> 2017-11-07 15:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390915 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390980 This story is about a young girl who was born into wealth, and is spoiled and selfish. She lived a very privileged life and her father was a wealthy landowner. The night before her birthday her Papa was ambushed, Mama and Esperanza have to travel to America to stay safe,   they soon realize  hard work and race. She has to learn she is poor and has to work to keep the family stable with money. One day Mama becomes very ill and has to go to the hospital. Esperanza will have to learn how to become mature and overcome obstacles, meanwhile Miguel there past servant brings home one big surprise. My favorite part was when Miguel brought Abuelita to Mexico. This book taught me how people worked so hard and got so little because of their skin color. This book proves you can be happy with just family around you. It teaches people race, hard work, and how treating others makes a difference. ]]> 2017-11-07 15:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204390980 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391062 In Esperanza Rising the book is mostly about a very wealthy Mexican girl. At the beginning of the book Esperanza's Papa was very rich and they had a vineyard. Then her dad was taking forever to come back home from work but then Tio Luis came with some bad knews that Papa could not be found. But then Tio Luis was trying to marry Mama and mama said yes. But Tio Luis didn't know that mama was just tricking him so they could get out and go to America. When they got to America Esperanza was still that rich spoiled immature kid and was being really rude to the poor. But then Esperanza isn't that rich spoiled kid anymore and needed to work outside and get dirty like the other people that when she was rich she didn't even want to go by. Then Esperanza mom got very sick with Valley Fever and Esperanza couldn't see her mom for 5 months. But during that time Esperanza was being very mature and helping out and getting money orders so she could bring Abuelita to her and mama. Then Esperanza's money orders were gone and then she figures out that Miguel takes her money to go get Abuelita. I would recommend you to get this book and read it because it is really interesting. One interesting thing is when Tio Luis killed his own brother just so he could become governor. Another interesting thing is when Esperanza was being rude to that little girl on the train just because the little girl was dirty and poor. I think that was interesting because it shows you how spoiled and immature she was. Overall it is a really good book.]]> 2017-11-07 15:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391062 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391094 Esperanza rising is about a wealthy land owners daughter. Her dad was killed and her house was set on fire. Her and Her family had to escape to America where Esperanza has to learn to work. When she gets there Isabel tries to teach her how to do things around the house. A big dust storm comes by and mama has to go to the hospital for 5 months. Esperanza goes to work for mama to get money to bring Abuelita. At work Esperanza hears strikers. She realizes they are striking for better conditions. The strikers are stoped. Miguel took the money Esperanza had made to get Abuelita back to them. Miguel went and got Abuelita with that money. Mama comes home and they are all together with a new start. I liked this book because it really show how some people can have struggles but come back from them like the mountains and the valleys. It is also just a good book. I could read it over and over again if I could. It will be a book I remember. I would recommend this book because it is so good and they are missing out if they do not read it.]]> 2017-11-07 15:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391094 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391484 The story of Esperanza Rising is about a girl who is the daughter of a Mexican Landowner so they are at the top of the social Pyramid but then her dad is killed by his brother the Evil Tio Luis. Tio Luis wants to marry Mama so that he could charm all of the people in the town of Aguascalientes and become governor of that region of Mexico. When mama says that she doesn't want to marry Tio Luis he burns down their house in the middle of the Night and says that he will murder the field workers if she doesn't marry him. Mama and Esperanza Escape to California where they work in a Migrant Camp Where Mama Gets sick and Soon Mama gets better and Abuelita their Grandmother and they are able to start their life over only not as The rich but as the poor. I would recommend this book to someone but I think that at the end They should face Tio Luis Which would make a better climax. But overall I though that it was a good book ]]> 2017-11-07 15:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204391484 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392461 Esperanza Rising is about a spoiled rich daughter, of a landowner that live in Aguascalientes, Mexico. But everything changed when her papa was murdered by tio Luis, and when he set the house on fire. After that hey had nothing left, except each other. Tio Luis kept forcing mama to marry him but she didn't, because of that they had to move to the United States. When then they got to the United States, Esperanza was really upset because she didn't like the condition that they were going to be living in, but what she didn't know was that everything was not going to be the same like when she was rich. She had to do chores,take care of the house, cook, and also take care of twins. She thought that she was going to be able to do everything but she didn't even know how to do anything, all she does is embarrass her self. Isabel thought her how to do mostly everything she needed to do. Mama gets a valley fever because of a sand storm and, the barely have money to buy stuff they need, mama was sent to the hospital for 5 months, So that meant Esperanza had to work even harder to get money to bring money, and bring abulita. Mama is finally out of the hospital and Miguel brings abulita. The reason why i like it is because it shows that sometimes life isn't always great but you still have to try. I recommend this book because it shows that you can always get better at stuff when you try, and try your best]]> 2017-11-07 15:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392461 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392808 Esperanza Rising is about a girl named Esperanza who was born into a family of wealth. The night before her birthday her father was attacked by his brothers and killed. After that her uncle, Tio Luis, set fire to their house. In the fire she lost her money, Abuelita was hurt, and all of her grapes. Mama was asked to marry Tio Luis and she ended up taking her servants and Esperanza to America and leaving Abuelita behind. At the camp in California mama caught Valley fever and Esperanza had to work for the first time. I liked the book because I loved how Esperanza turned from spoiled and snotty to mature and kind. I liked how she never gave up even when things got hard like when she lost her papa and Abuelita, and when mama got Valley fever and was put in the hospital.]]> 2017-11-07 15:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392808 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392914 I liked this book because it tells me how Mexicans were treated in the great depression. I also like that Ezperanzas family is doing the best they can to get money. At first she was wealthy with servants that did everything for her and she acted like a little brat. But when her father died they were poor and had to do everything themselves. Before they were poor they were a happy and wealthy family. But then Tio Lius set their ranch on fire and murdered papa and was trying to force mama to marry him in order to become governor. Then mama made the choice to escape to a migrant camp in America.]]> 2017-11-07 15:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392914 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204392998 Esperanza Rising is a story about a Mexican girl who was born into a a wealthy family. Her Papa is murdered by his jealous and uncaring brothers who also set fire to their house. Esperanza and Mama have to escape to America with Miguel, Alfonso, and Hortensia but without Abuelita. While in America, some workers who are unhappy with how they're being treated go on strike and threaten the workers who are doing their job and not going on strike. Mama gets sick, so Esperanza has to work in the fields to get money to help with the family needs and to try to bring Abuelita to America. At the end of the book, Mama gets released from the hospital and Miguel brings Abuelita to America. I liked when Esperanza started to work in the fields and accept the life that she was living because it showed that she was growing up and maturing. I would recommend this book to others because it shows you that you can be happy with the situation that you're in and that things can get better.

But when he went to fix it,Tio Luis Papa's older brother hired bandits to kill papa there so that he could get Mama to marry him so he could be the Governor. So mama started to pack everything they had left after he also burned down their house to go to the US. Then once they had worked for about six months Mama caught Valley fever or coccidioidomycosis so she had to be hospitalized so she could get better.Esperanza stared working on what mama would be working on so she could help mama get medicine from the doctors.

A couple days later the house caught fire and Tio Luis had told Mama that he would restore all of their money if she had agreed to marry him. If she had said yes, Esperanza would have to go to a boarding school far away from Mama. They got a plan, and they secretly moved to the USA for a job and to get away from Tio Luis. I honestly adored this book, I liked it because it was off a real event, The Mexican Revolution some stuff I also liked is how a wealthy girl, who is now poor was able to change. She was spoiled rotten, didn't care for others, and she wouldn't share her dolls with anyone else, that gave off an instant sign that Esperanza only cared for herself and Mama. I would definitely recommend this book for people who love suspense and heart-warming stories like this one in general. ]]> 2017-11-07 15:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393095 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393123 The book called Esperanza Rising is about a girl name Esperanza Ortega who goes through a life of mountains, valleys, and yes, deep deep rivers.

She must later leave her home because of her uncle Luis who wants to marry Esperanza's mother to win governor. He kills Esperanza's father and burns down their house. Esperanza must leave to go to America where she still feels that she is a wealthy queen of the world who will never be poor or a "peasant" and doesn't know that she's a peasant already.She later in the book discovers that she was wrong all along and so she seems to mature and even gives food to people with less than her. When she leaves to go to America she must be separated from her grandmother who ends up coming to America because of one of the servants from the ranch named Miguel who is Esperanza's sort of love interest. My favorite part of the book is when Abuelita or the grandmother gets to America because of how powerful it was and it almost made me well up with tears.]]> 2017-11-07 15:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393155 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393183 2017-11-07 15:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393183 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393278 Esperanza Rising is about an immature, spoiled girl who's the daughter of a wealthy land owner in Mexico. Her life changed when her Papa was killed and eventually had to run away with Mama to escape her evil uncles who took everything from them. They lived in an immigration camp and Mama worked in the sheds and fields to support themselves. But Mama became very ill so Esperanza had to take on the work. After experiencing these things she matured and starts to accept her new life. My favorite part was when Esperanza gave Isabel her doll. I like this part because it shows how much she's matured, how much she cares for Isabel, how much she's changed since she was on the train coming to America, and because the doll is important to her but she realized that she doesn't need it (became less greedy). I would recommend this book to others because it teaches an important life lesson. Not only that but it teaches you a lot about the past and has amazing characters. It also shows that you can't buy happiness, it comes from the people you love and your perspective on life.]]> 2017-11-07 15:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393278 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204393963 This book is about a once wealthy family.

Until there is a sand dust storm and Mama is sick cause she has valley fever and is in hospital for 5 months.

In America mama gets sick and Esperanza works extra hard to get medicine for mama and bring Abuelita back. Mama overtime gets better and Miquel gets Abuelita back for Esperanza after a fight which I really liked because it showed her things can get better. I would recommend this book because it shows how hard life can be and what not to enjoy the little things you have because love and hope is enough.

There she did not have servants who did everything for her. Instead she had to learn how to do simple house chores. Her mother comes down with valley fever and must be hospitalized, but while in the hospital she get pneumonia as well. Esperanza saves up a lot of money to go get her grandmother form Mexico since they had to leave her there because she was hurt. Soon after Mama is let out of the hospital, Esperanza realizes her money has been stolen. She knew who had stole it immediately. Miguel! A little while later Miguel comes back with Abuelita, her grandmother. Esperanza finally realizes that life will never be the same as in Aguascalientes, Mexico. My favorite part is when her uncle, Tio Luis, who was the one who ordered her Papa's murder and the destroying of her home, acted like he did absolutely nothing when it was obvious that he did it. Definitely a 5 star!!!!!! Maybe the best book ever!]]> 2017-11-07 19:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204537469 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204537738 The book Esperanza Rising is about a Mexican girl named Esperanza who lives in Mexico until it seems as if everything is taken away from her.

He had burned their house down. Esperanza's mom refused to marry esperanza's uncle. Esperanza , their servants, and her mom had secretly escaped their home with nothing. They were poor and Esperanza was not happy but she eventually got used to not being wealthy. Her mom had recently gotten sick by a dust storm, she was sick for about 6 months. Eventually Esperanza had saved a lot of money, they wanted to get Abuelita with it. Miguel had left and had taken all of the money they had saved up with him. It turns out that he had brought Abuelita to California. The part i liked from this book was when Esperanza finally realized that she was not wealthy any more and she matured a lot, Obviously her mom was happy with that.]]> 2017-11-07 19:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204539832 https://padlet.com/sheila_turbes/79wwekzmk4fp/wish/204540563 Esperanza Rising is a book about a wealthy, Mexican girl who's father passes away, via his brother having him to be killed by bandits.
