Yes. The house on Mango Street was theirs. They did not have to “pay rent to anybody, or share a yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise…” (pg.3).

At what point did the narrator know that she needed to have her a real house?

One day, while she is playing in front of the apartment on Loomis, a nun from her school passes and asks where she lives. She points to the third floor of the worn, paint-peeled building, and the nun says: "You live there?" ( Cisneros 5)

When the narrator and her family lived on Loomis, “the water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn’t fix them because the house was too old” (Cisneros 4).

Because they moved around so much, the narrator’s parents always told them “that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours for always so we wouldn’t have to move each year” (Cisneros 4).

When the narrator reflects upon the physical features of the house: "It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath," (Cisneros 4).

Vignette: Boys and Girls What does the narrator say about the relationship between boys and girls? What evidence does she provide to support this idea?

On page 8, the narrator says, “the boys and the girls live in separate worlds.” She implies that they exist in two different societies; they live by two sets of rules—rules that give men and boys more freedom and independence than women and girls.

When the narrator says that “the boys and the girls live in separate worlds”(pg.8), she is implying that the girls live on one planet and the boys live on a better planet.

On page 8, the narrator says that “the boys in their universe and we in ours” which means they do not like to play with her and Nenny because they are different.

What does the narrator mean when she says, “Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor?

She is saying that she, unlike her brothers, has a lot of responsibilities. She is not as free and independent as Carlos and Kiki, at least until Nenny is old enough to be mature.

She believes that she is made of rubber and can be filled with helium and float into the sky.

Here, she is implying that her parents hate her because she is a girl and they won’t let her do anything like Carlos and Kiki.

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.”

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

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

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