The vignette from this weeks assigned reading The House on Mango Street that I chose was 62 Elenita, Cards, Palm, Water.<\/p>\n

Ah, yes, a home in the heart. I see a home in the heart. Is that it? That’s what I see, she says,”<\/p>\n
Esperanza wants a home but Elenita only see’s a home in heart not an actual material home. Esperanza is rightfully feeling disappointed and skeptical.<\/p>\n
