“Sandra Cisneros Though”
Cisneros thing boys and girls should be raised the same ways. Even though she did not state it particular in the book, she gives lots of reasons why i thing she believes so herself. In one of her Vedanta from the book “The house on Mango Street”, she said, Sally dad was very strict on her, because, he had a sister and she put her family to shame, so he don’t want her to do the same to him, so that why when he sees her with boys he beats her.
Than she wrote and said that, she want Sally to go away in a far away land, where she will be love and love and no one will make her sad or hurt her again. She believes girls are treated different, because family believe the girls children can put them to shame and ruin their name, more than the boys children in the family.
In one of her other Vent-ant she wrote that Alicia was afraid of nothing except four-legged fur.And fathers. She put this, because its mostly true, girls children are raise to be afraid of men. They are raised with the fear of saying do what ever a men say you should do. While boys on the other hand are raised to stand up and fight for themselves. Girls are also raised with saying that men should fight our battler and we should not do those things our self.
Than the one i like the most was when she talked about this girl that Mom died, so now the girl has to drop out of school, and take care of her little siblings, which she don’t thing is fair. If that was a boy the dad was never going to tell him to draped out of school, because boys are raised with the idea that women are supposed to take care of children and looked after the house, while the men go to work and take care of the family needs.
Than the other one Esperanza said in the house her brothers talk to she and her sister, but as soon as they go outside, they don’t talked to them and they goes off and talk with their friends. Then instead of her playing she has to take care of her little sister. She and her sister are very separated from the boys in the house, because that was how they were raised.
My final thought like i said before, the Aurthur think boys and girls should be raise the same, and i also agree with her.

Esperanza Respond
"Esperanza"
I think Esperanza is going to leave Mango street and become a very successful lady. I agree with first period that the way she help Mango street was by writing a book about it. If people on Mango street read the book then, they are going to realised that they have so much in life. They will try to change their way of life. They will see how important they are and respect their view of life.
She is the Aurthur who wrote the book, she try to make herself as Esperanza so, people can’t know who she is, I also think her name was once Esperanza, but than she changed later in life, because in the book, she once said she don’t like her name and wish it could be something else, because kids at her school, were making fun of it.So probably when she move from Mango street, she change her name.
Esperanza, move but Mango street was still in her heart and she never forgot it. She also never forgot the friends she made there and they were always part of her life. Even though she moves alot, Mango street house, was the house that help her find her way in life. Mango street was the best place she ever lived, but she was only seeing that the house was not her dream house and also not the one her parents promised her.
She also never left Mango street, because it was always in her heart, no matter where she go, and as times goes by, she will love that little house and love Mango street, she will remember all the great experiment she had and Mango street, and she also learned alot of great life lessons.The life lessons was something Mango street gave her, that even the people who lives on the hills will never get. She will be happy that she learned it and it will make her a very important person in life.
That is everything i have to say about the question you asked me in class, hope, I’m very clear about my respond.

Krahn
When you take a cat and put it in a group of dogs, it won’t belong. My culture my language the one I can’t speak. I try all my best to understand some. Sometimes I want to speak it with my people, but I can’t. All my big brothers and sisters could speak it, everyone is proud of them. Me, nope I’m a big disgrace to my culture, but I don’t know how I lost it.
I used to speak and understand it fluently. Losing my language is like losing part of my family. When my sister and I are in a crowd of Krahn speakers, we feel like outsiders, birds that can’t find their nest anymore. Talking to my grandparent is like making a fish and a lion talk to each other.
Coming of my Romeo
I’m waiting for my prince to bring my glass shoes. Laying my head on the clouds every night dreaming of him. When I first saw him my heart was racing like a horse in a race. I did not want any other girl to take him.
I was like a mother chicken protecting her chicks from the hawks. The day he told me, how he felt. I was happy as flowers are when they get rain. When I really got to know him. I find out he was sweet as honey.
Nappy Hair, Soft hair, Long hair, Short hair
In my family we have different type of hair. My grand mom has the prettiest hair, hers is long and soft.Her hair is like that, because she is light skeined. Next my dad hair is nice but he is just like my grandfather and don’t like hair. So one day he decide to go bold ad cut his hair. My Little sisters hair is as long as my grand-mom, but instead of it been soft its as nappy as a old man Afro.
When someone is combs it,she will cry and cry till the person will give up and quit.My other sister hair is not that long, but its also not that soft, but when you flat iron it , it will be all soft and black and pretty. My hair is long and very soft, but it not full, my hair is also not black, which i don’t understand, because all of my family have black hair. All my brothers hair are good too.Even though our hairs are different we still love each other.
Some Times You Got To Let Go
There are some things you got to let go in life.Some people that you love so much, but you know are not doing the right thing.Friends sometimes do the wrong things, and just because they are your friends doesn't mean they are always right.
I had a very special friend in my life, and i never wanted to let him go.He knows all my secrets and i knows all his.But he was leading me to the wrong path.I thought all the things he did was cool.He was know as popular and sexy. I felt so beautiful, when girls will start hating on me,because they thought we were dating.One day we got in a big argument and it was the first time a boy ever insult me or even put their hands on me.
I was shock, and could not believe it, but i also notice he was not to his self.He was high, and that same day we got our report card and he had all F and he tear it right in front of the teacher face and said he don't gave a f***.When i got home i called him and started talking to him, and he told me that he’s not going to change for any girl.All my friends ad family told me to stop hanging with such a person. But it was hard for me, he was my first love, and best friend. The day i said goodbye was hard for me, but as time when by, I'm happy i did.
African Princess
When I first came to America, people started making fun of me, because i was African.They called my siblings and I all stuff of names.I never really care, because i know I’m proud to be African.People started making fun of my skin color, but i did not listen to them
because i know I'm beautiful.
People aways laugh at my accent, but i was not tripping. Because I know they all which they can speak and understand more than one language. And because i do, they are jealous and hating.No matter what they say deep inside i know I'm a African princess and no one can change that.
L.I.B Family
We got each other back, we are always there for each other.We can jokes around with each other gets in fight, but then no one else can do those things to us.I love when we are together, they are the coolest people to be around with.When I'm around them, i can be myself and act very normal.They been knowing me since i was 9 years old.
They know when I’m lien, when I'm scared, when i sad, they can even tell when I like someone with out me telling them.When we are together, we can dance and sing.We tell each other everything.Before we even go out with a boy they have to studies them.When we are together we are so loud, especially on the bus.We have to shopping together. one thing i know for sure, is that no matter where we go or what we do in life, they will always be my family.
