Connotation- valuable, elegant, delicate, expensive, desirable 
Using the word chandelier adds a positive and sophisticated mood to this section of the story.  
The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother. We learn that he loved her and really wanted to marry her. He values her and sees her as a delicate, elegant, desirable woman. The message would have been significantly different if the author said, “As if she were a sack of potatoes.”

Explain your opinion and use evidence. aksharavallabhane77 https://padlet.com/aksharavallabhane77/oa7hnt3710zod5wy/wish/1870144957 The name calling in the story is meant to be mean, because the way that they say rude stuff about each other and their moms, doesn't seem like a joke. For example in the text it says "Esperanza's fat face, that's who. Looks like Esperanza's ugly face when she comes to school in the morning."(vignette 16). The way that Esperanza's friend says her face is ugly and fat when she comes to school in the morning is very hurtful, and she doesn't laugh about it either, which tells me its not a joke.
