When I was reading each vignette the one that really stood out to me was ” Hairs” by The House On Mango Street. The vignette hairs resembles a lot like my family, in this vignette Esperanza describes each of her families hair type, each hair type is resembling their personality. In my family my older brother hair is short but straight and very well styled everyday meaning is an organized person, my dad hair is short to the side and always with gel meaning his life is very put together, my mom hair has beautiful brown hair, always have beautiful hairstyles meaning she is a great sweet person. This, reminded me of how Esperanza described her mom hair., and for me my hair is mostly let go frizzy meaning lazy or unorganized at times as well as Esperanza saying her hair defined her as a lazy person. It really interest me how hair defines everyone personality whiteout actually knowing a person.

Hello, I love the point you made when you said that hair can really define you. I find myself in the mirror daily getting ready, and I noticed that depending on how I feel, my hair looks accordingly. In this day in age; it is unfortunate, in my opinion, that we are defined by our looks and appearance as opposed to who we actually are. I can also relate to the comfort you find in your mothers appearance as well. There is always a sweet smell that my mom has that reminds me of her and feels like home.
