The vignette that surprised me the most was “The first job.” This surprises me because the narrator spoke about her first assault at her first job. The assault was very sudden and I felt for her because I know what it feels like to feel like you trusted the wrong person.
The vignette “Hair” intrigued me the most. This vignette in particular had my attention because I related to it so much. I remember as a kid I used to love to do my moms hair because I liked to smell it and it was always so soft. The scent of her hair made me feel safe, so I related to the narrator.
The vignette “And some more” puzzled me because I didn’t really understand the meaning. I understood they were naming clouds but I’m not sure how they ended up in a serious argument.

Hello,Tiana. I also really enjoyed “Hair”, and found it to be very relatable. Everyone in my family has hair that is different and unique to them. So, it was fun seeing Esperanza describe the differences in hair within her own family. I also found these descriptions to be a very powerful form of imagery. The author is very skilled in writing description. I was able to imagine each character vividly just based on the details provided.
