Dawn Delfino Discussion 14

I do have one personal experience that is echoed in the house on Mango Street, but not one of the vignettes.  My personal experience is remembering how many times we moved! Each time we moved the places got a bit better. I remember how I hated to move. Till one day, my dad had bought some scratch off lottery tickets, and he asked my little sister to scratch it off. As my little sister was scratching off the lottery ticket my father started to scream, we have a winner here!!! We all had to go into the city to collect the prize, it was so exciting.  I had to be 10 years old at that time and my brother and sister were 2 and 6 years old.  Now that my parents won the NYC Lottery, they finally got to buy a real house with stairs inside and bedrooms for all of us. We even had a big back yard and a garage to keep the car. My parents had to add their personal touches to the house, but it was so nice and big.  We didn’t have to worry about how much noise we made, or if we would have enough water to take a shower.  Nobody was banging on the ceiling with a broom stick to tell us to lower our voices or tv.  We finally had that house of ours dreams and we never moved again.
