The part in the story “The House on Mango Street”, surprised me when, Ezperanza desperations to make her and her family live in a nice big house. Even though with the family being able to move into an another house than before, she still haven’t reached her requirements for herself. It didn’t up to part rooms or bathrooms but, the family did make the house into a home and that’s what’s family is about.
The part that intrigued me was, “The house on mango street”. This is because, I remember my family and I going from place to place at a young age and not even remembering half the places we even been since young. Most kids, when this is happening try to stay distant from the people in there own household but, in this story, they use the house to not only go through things as a family, but make memories to last them a life time.
The part that puzzled me was, boys and girls part. For the males not being able to speak to their sisters outside confused me a bit. But further more reading and understanding the time period of this then lead me to understand it more.

Hello Jayden, It’s intriguing that you were shocked by the passage in which Esperanza expressed her need for a larger and finer home. I concur that she continued to want a different living circumstance despite the family moving. Esperanza is determined to build a better future for herself and her family, and it serves as a reminder that our goals might change with time. The emphasis on making a house a home strikes a powerful chord, emphasizing the value of love, kinship, and shared memories within a family.
