One of the vignettes from “The House on Mango Street” that affected me the most was “Mango Says Goodbye Sometimes.” The quote “They will not know I have gone away to come back. For the ones I left behind. For the ones who cannot out.” Because most of the time when we clandestine to another country we leave friends or family in the other country. Even though I migrated for better opportunities and couldn’t bring them with me, I will be successful in life, and I will give them a lot of things and stay with them for a good amount of time. Also, in this vignette, she says she likes to make a story in her head for every step she makes in life and I’m also like that.

Hi angel, We chose the same vignette. Although we chose them for different reasons I still resonate with yours. The feeling of coming and going especially when it comes to new countries can be scary, but needed. In this vignette Esperanza expresses how she feels temporary to mango st as you felt to your country.
