There are three vignettes (My name, Identity Event, Coming of Age) and three poems (Bio Poem, Those Who Don't, Gender Roles).

I discuss how names can have an impact on how people and things are viewed and that it can either be more positive or negative. I used text evidence from both the vignette and article to show the meaning. ]]> 2021-11-29 15:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthastrachows25/ng116jrf2b4ciwtb/wish/1918190862 samanthastrachows25 https://padlet.com/samanthastrachows25/ng116jrf2b4ciwtb/wish/1918199548 In this nonfiction piece, I discuss how gender stereotypes negatively impact society, how gender roles are portrayed in House On Mango Street, and form predictions on how these gender roles and stereotypes could impact characters from HOMS in the future.
