“A Smart Cookie,” one of the vignettes from pages 81 through the end of The House on Mango Street, had the biggest impact on me. By sharing the experience of a role model, it emphasizes the significance of never giving up or quitting on yourself. I learned from this vignette that the people in your life who value and care about you are there to support you as you develop and accomplish your objectives. “But she doesn’t know which subway train to take to get downtown. I hold her hand very tight while we wait for the right train to arrive” (Cisneros, page 90).” This vignette demonstrates Esperanza’s importance to and concern for her mother. She is with her mother to influence her life and has strong love for her. This resonates with me since I too like to help my mother when she needs help getting someplace or doing a task, especially with all the modern technology that she is not used to.

Hello Brianna,
Interesting explanation of the vignette you chose. I think I also resonate with this vignette of what you say in the last part, about helping your mother. And it is interesting to me because I also help my mother with technology.
Angel, this doesn’t quite meet the length requirements.
