setting: old apartments and the beaten down house on mango street
subject: moving houses 
theme: don’t judge others without knowing their situations 
excerpt i liked: “you live there?” “The way she said it made me feel like nothing.” 
why it connected to me: People put others down based on things they can’t really control, the nun said it like it was their fault or choice to live in the old apartment and judged without knowing what the family was struggling with. I relate to it because i’ve been put down on things i couldn’t control either and it hurts. ]]> 2023-03-28 16:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535341297 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535369483 POV: first person

Setting: The house on mango street

Characters: The mom, the dad, the girl.

Plot: There is a girl who moves a lot and she wants to live in a real house that is her own.

Theme: Things can get better if you keep trying.]]> 2023-03-28 17:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535369483 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535384326 Pov: First person

Setting: Houses, Mango Street

Characters: Mom, Dad, Carlos, Kiki, Sister, The girl

Plot: Girl that moves into many towns like Loomis, Keeler, Paulina. She moves and moves and she just wants to find a 
good house

Sentence: " The way she said it made me feel like nothing"

I think this stands out to me because sometimes people say things to me that I do not like. When they say stuff that I dont like start to overthink and then I just go silent and makes me feel like im nothing.

Characters: The main character, mom, dad, Carlos, Kiki, and Nenny

Subject: Finding a better place to live that lives up to all of their desires

Theme: You shouldn't lose hope because if you keep trying you will eventually get what you deserve

Sentence that is meaningful to me: "The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise."

I like this because it shows that even though this house isn't the one she dreams of things have gotten better than they used to be after moving a lot and they hopefully will continue to get better.]]> 2023-03-28 17:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535387264 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535389736 Pov: First person

Setting: Her house on mango street in Chicago

Character: mama, papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny/Magdalena, and her/Esperanza

Subject of this vignette: Moving into a new house that's better than the last place they lived in but dreaming for more and something better

A sentence that is meaningful to me is the one that says, which is supposed to be bad luck if you're born female-but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese , like the Mexicans, don't like their women strong"

I like this sentence because I like how she doesn't believe that it's bad luck because of how she knows they think of their women. It kind of makes me feel like she's standing up for herself and for other women in a way and it makes me feel happy to see that.

Setting: The house on Mango Street. The house is small and red, with tight steps in front and windows that are extremely small.
Bricks are crumbling and the house is not in good shape in any way shape or form.

Characters: Main character, Mom, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny.

Subject of this vignette: Although change can be hard and often if you keep your hopes up things will get better.

Theme: Poverty, Persistence, Endurance.
Things will get better as long as you believe it will. 

The sentence that is meaningful to me from this text is "The house on Mango Street isn't it."

I chose this sentence because I think it captures a lot of emotions with the context about how the main character is longing for stability and a place to call home. I think this also shows hope because the main character is hinting to change in the future where her family and herself can have a place to stay and not have to move around.]]> 2023-03-28 17:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535400629 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535419638 POV: first person

Plot: Esperanza has moved a few times. Every time, she's felt like her house isn't good enough. Her brother's don't talk to her outside of the house, and she isn't close with her younger sister.

Theme: Although life feels hopeless, you have to stay positive.

Sentence: "I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window."

Sentence Explanation: This sentence stuck out to me because Esperanza doesn't want to be like her grandmother. She wants to be her own person and not always have to follow in the footsteps of her family.]]> 2023-03-28 18:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535471952 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535477257 Pov: first person

Setting: small red house in Chicago with small windows and crumbling bricks, and four trees planted in the front.

Characters: Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, Esperanza, Nun

Plot: a young girl moves into a new house with her family, and is disappointed when she realizes her dream of living in a perfect house is out of reach. She fears judgment from the people around her, and loathes the "temporary" house she has to live in.

message: you should appreciate what you have while you have it and be grateful for what you're given  

theme: Persistence, courage, poverty

sentence: " I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it." I chose this quote because it shows how people always want more than what they have, rather than appreciating what they are already given. I think enjoying what you already have is really important, so this quote really stood out to me.]]> 2023-03-28 18:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535477257 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535478007 POV: first person

setting:  yard less small red  house in Chicago  with  tight wooden bars in the windows . crumbling bricks , and four trees planted outside.

character : mom, dad, Carlos, Kiki, Esperanza , Nenny

plot: A young girl named Espernza  who moved  around from house to house lives in a " temporary house" or at least that's what her parents told her.  But deep down she knows that that's not true. The judgement she got from others clouded her judgment of what a " real house" looks like. she now needs to leave in a small yard less,  red house in Chicago with  paint peeling, wooden bars on the windows so they wouldn't fall out. with her 5 other family members. the hopes and dreams her parents gave soon become something she can only dream of. 

" there. I had to look to where she pointed - the third floor, the paint peeling , wooden bars papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. you live there? the way she said it made me feel like nothing. there. I lived there. I nodded. 

this was very meaningful to me because, Esperenza really took a step back to see her life in a perspective of another person. this also shows the hurt and true embarrassment she has for her home. even making her feel like " nothing".

theme: in life expectations can jus be false hope.

Setting: A yard less small red house in Chicago, with tight windows, crumbling bricks, and four trees planted out in the front 
Characters: Momma, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, Esperanza
Theme: Always appreciate what you have, and learn to be patient and grateful for the things that you have.
Plot: A young girl is given high hopes when her parents tell her that they are going to live in this nice amazing house. She soon becomes disappointed, when the house they move into is not what she hoped. Esperanza, and her 5 other family members are now living in a small yard less red house in Chicago, and her parents claim that its only temporary, but Esperanza knows the truth. She soon becomes weary of what people think, because of the place that she is now living in. 
Sentence: " I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isnt it. " 
I chose this quote, because it speaks a lot to me. I find it hard to understand what a " real house " is, and based on this story I can tell that many people are unappreciative of where they live, and what their family provides for them, simply because its not " what they had in mind ". I feel like you should always be grateful for things that you have, because there will always be a time where people will wish what you had and more.]]> 2023-03-28 18:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535478940 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535482316 POV: first person

setting: house on mango street in chicago with wooden bars , bricks crumbling, 4 plants, and no yard 

characters: mama, papa, Carlos, Kiki, nenny, and esperanza

plot: a girl moves from many different places and never staying in just one for a long period amount of time and all she wants is one stable home to live in.

one sentence that stood out to me was
'' I knew then I  had to have a house. a real house. one I could point to. but this isn't it.''

it shows how the main characters life style was never really a stable one to begin with. she never felt as if she had a real home, like one to feel proud of, spend time in or just claim it as her own. instead she's so used to moving so much that she never knows when she'll find the right place for her and her family.

theme: keep on going don't lose hope

Setting: Chicago, small red house on mango street

Characters: Mom, Dad, Sister, Kiki, Carlos & Nenny 

Plot: the families move back to back a lot from Paulina to Keeler until they moved into Loomis. They don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with the broom  but even so, it's not the house they expected. The house was in bad condition, the water pipe broke and the landlord wouldn't fix it because the house was too old. The family have to leave fast and settle in one of the house in mango street. They were excited to move into the house since the dad describe the house is very nice. but the house is not the way the Dad describe it.  It wasn't better then their last house bricks were crumbling in places, no front yard, small garage etc. One of the nun from school passed by and saw the girl playing outside and asked the girl "where do you live" the Nun asked. 
"there" the girl pointed  up to the third floor 
" you lived there" the nun pointed.
The girl looked at where the nun was pointed, the nun was pointing at the third floor, the paint was peeling, wooden bars, the dad had nailed on the window so no one would fall out.
" you lived there?" the nun asked.
they way the nun said it made the girl feel like nothing. The girl nodded, by then the girl knew she need to have a house a real house, one that she could point to.


Theme: Sometime nothing in life lived up to your expectation.]]> 2023-03-28 18:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535498117 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535640343 POV: First person, as the main character.

Setting: Small red house on Mango Street in Chicago with small steps and windows. With old crumbling bricks. 

Characters: "Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, and me" (The main character and point of view of story"

Subject: Moving around from lots of houses throughout life

Theme: Even when life feels hopeless, stay positive. If you're at your lowest, you can only go up.

 I think the most meaningful part of this story is when a woman asked where she lived, and the main character was ashamed of where she had to admit she lived. 
I think this is very meaningful because it really shows the main characters true feelings and is kind of a realizing reality point. When after she says that's when she knew she had to have a real house because of how ashamed she was. The rest of the story wasn't as much of an emotional turning point as this.]]> 2023-03-28 21:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535640343 1abvarenhorst https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535640855 POV: first person

Setting: A small house on Mango Street, swollen front door, crumbling bricks and small windows.

Characters: Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, and Esperanza

Subject of this vignette: Moving into a new house but still hoping for something better

Theme: Sometimes in life, you will feel hopeless, but you should always stay positive and hope for better.

The sentence that is meaningful to me is the sentence "She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow... I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window."

I liked this sentence because it has a strong representation of Esperanza's desires to not be like her grandma and to not follow her family's path, but instead create her own.]]> 2023-03-28 21:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535641303 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535642037 POV: First Person

Subject of this vignette: Moving somewhere new and wanting to find better to properly adjust.

Plot: A girl named Esperanzas life as she's been moving a lot and finding it hard to adjust to a new place .

Theme: Stepping out of your comfort zone.

Sentence/phrase that is meaningful to me: " Until then I am a red balloon , a balloon tied to an anchor"

Explanation: I chose this sentence because I feel like it helps sums up what the character feels like throughout this story . From that sentence I could interpret that she feels alone and by herself in her household and that helped me better understand the character and her feelings as I continued to read the story.

Setting: The setting of this story takes place on a house on Mango Street that's small and red with cramped stairs and small windows. And no front yard but a couple small trees. 

Characters: The characters in the story are the girl telling the story, Esperanza, and her family. Mama, Papp, Carlos, Kiki, and Nenny.

Plot: Esperanza and her family move a lot with the hopes of finding their dream "home". But Esperanza always feels uncomfortable in every house, and is beginning to be ashamed of where she living even. Her family and her moved into a house on Mango Street hoping that it would live up to what they were hoping for but Esperanza quickly became disappointed when it wasn't. 

Subject of vignette: Moving around

Theme: Change is sometimes scary but it's okay and it'll eventually work out.

Sentence: "I knew I had to have a house, a real one."
This sentence stands out to me because the amount of times where Esperanza has felt like her home isn't something worth sharing or showing anyone has made her feel like it's not a real one. Which I understand in a way but I think it's also just important to feel safe and comfortable. And she moves around so much so it's hard for her to feel this way. ]]> 2023-03-28 21:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535646454 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535646683 POV: First person

Characters: The mom and dad, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny, and Esperanza

Subject of this vignette: Esperanza wants to move to a better house because she has always lived in small apartments and she wants it better for her and her family

Theme: Stay positive and hopeful

Sentence that is meaningful to me: "You live there?"

Explanation: This part was interesting to me because Esperanza was ashamed to admit where she lived and it shows how she wants her life and her family to be different]]> 2023-03-28 21:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535646683 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535647154 Pov: first person

Setting: a small house in Chicago on mango street, with wooden bars, bricks and yard less.

Characters: Esperanza, Momma, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, Nenny.


Plot: a young girl whos is constantly moving around and never staying in one place for too long is told that they are moving into a real house, she has high expectation for the house on mango street but is quickly disappointed when she sees it.

One sentence that stood out to me was, " The house on mango street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with people downstairs, or be careful to not make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom. But even so, its not the house we'd thought we'd get."
This sentence stood out to me because it showed the excitement that Esperanza had with the house before she saw it, she was happy that they we finally gonna get something that they own, but she was disappointed when she saw the house because it didn't live up to her expectations.

Theme: Things don't always plan out like you wanted them too.

Setting: A small red house with small windows on mango street in Chicago with a no yard and only four little elms planted near the curb.

Characters: Mama, Papa, Carlos, Esperanza, Kikky, and Nenny.

Plot: A girl named Esperanza moved a lot around her city. She moved into a house that wasn't what her mom has always dreamed of but her parents told her that it was just "temporary" but she knew that it wasn't true. At her old house, one day a nun from her school passed by and asked where she lived when she saw her playing out in the front yard. The nun asked where she lived and once Esperanza told her she looked surprised that she lived there and that's when she knew she had to have a real house she can point out to people.

Setting: small red house with tiny windows, a swollen front door, and no front yard.
Character: mom, dad, carlos, kiki, esperanza, nenny
Subject: Moving around and changing houses.
Plot: She's moving around a lot in search for a "better" house/life. She gets judged a lot by her housing situation and she's always told that their situation is temporary. This leaves her wanting more and she ends up just dreaming since the promises made to her were empty.
Theme: Things don't always happen in the way you think they will
"Temporary, says papa. But I know how those things go"
This line stood out to me because she's realizing that her parents are going to continue this temporary theme and keep moving around. I feel like she gains more independence and determination mentally after this when she wants to take things into her own hands-at least if not now, in the future.]]> 2023-03-28 21:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535651274 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/jpmfrpwkb56fpn6k/wish/2535651827 1st person

Setting: small red house in Chicago that had small windows, tight steps, and crumbling old bricks.

Characters: mama, papa, carlos, kiki, nenny, esperanza, and the nun

Subject of this vignette: a young girl moves into a new house with her family, her parents promised her the house would be something she could be proud of but is disappointed when it wasn't like the house her parents had said it to be. She wanted to move to a new home to not have to worry about others' judgment of her home.

Theme: things can be promised but they won't always be kept

Sentence: "For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go."

Explanation: I chose this sentence because it shows how she has most likely been 'lied' to by her parents before and how she shouldn't be very phased but in this situation, she is more disappointed than usual.

The excerpt shows her having problems with how she sees herself compared to how to world sees her.
