Victoria Chen Final Discussion

I really enjoyed our most recent reading of the semester “The House on Mango Street”. It felt like a very comforting read. I think partially because so many stories are relatable and also because the author talks about her own childhood and they are true stories and experiences which makes it more special. Another reason is that most of her stories brought up some of my childhood memories I haven’t thought of in a long time. Her writing style is something I would choose to read when looking for a book that would distract me from day to day things and create a window to a different world. The diversity of topics and people’s destinies that the author reflects on in her stories kept me very curious and engaged. I thinks it’s more rare to come across a book that seems simple but in a very unassuming manner presents important points.
