What is the significance of the phrase, "Until then I am a red balloon tied to an anchor"?

This comparison suggests that Esperanza feels trapped or weighed down, just like a balloon tied to an anchor would be unable to float freely.

Esperanza is afraid her balloon will float away if it is not tied down.

Esperanza's family makes her feel as secure as a tied balloon.

Once Esperanza lets go of the balloon, she will be free.

What does Esperanza mean by the quote, "she looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow."?

Women are forced to sit and ‘watch’ life go by without living their own dreams. They have to do what is expected of them.

Her great-grandmother loved to look outside and see her children playing. If one of them got hurt, then she felt really sad.

She really wanted to be free, but her family kept her inside all day to look out the window.

The pain in her elbow was making her sad.

What does Esperanza’s desire to have “a real house” reveal about the author’s perspective on home ownership?

Having a pleasing house can instill pride and a feeling of belonging.

Other people’s opinions of your house are unimportant .

Owning a better house than your parents’ house is a desirable goal.

Only large houses with nice lawns and many rooms are worth owning.
