Title: The House on Mango Street
Product review: This surprising debut by Sandra Cisneros grabs you by the hand, and takes you back to your own childhood full of friends, fears, and fights. Through all of these obstacles, we watch Esperanza's desperate attempts to find the meaning of her life using different friends to identify herself with. She does all this, only to come back to where she had started, back to feeling like a lost and lonely child.Each distinct character brought to life on Mango Street displays a common struggle of Mexican Americans in that day as Esperanza observed them. She shares their feeling of being weighted down to that small, insignificant street, and is always thinking of ways to get away. She knows she has to make it out through, and with that same drive she resolves her inner struggles. Finally, Esperanza realizes that she must not forget her life on Mango Street, no matter how much she would like to.
