If you like the idea of a feminist world or even if you don't I suggest you read this.
Strong will and the sadness of growing up and realizing what the world is like are recurring themes. Where the book is full of symbols of womanhood and independence. I didn't dislike anything in the book really, but I love Esperanza's will for independence and enjoying the small moments of life.Īll in all, I being a "hippie type" who loves feminist beliefs recommend you to read The House on Mango Street. Esperanza wants to own a house with a garden on a hill, a house of her own and never forgetting who she is, letting bums live in her attic. While her female companions want boys and to be a good little housewife, Esperanza doesn't. Like poverty, greed and men driven by sexual things. With every friend she learns something about real life. As she lives there Esperanza meets her neighbors and makes friends all over the place. The house is crumbling and old, and there live Esperanza, Nenny (her little sister) and their parents. The house on mango street, is different it represents her upcoming release into the world of being a woman an a feminist. It is worth reading in my opinion, because of all this.Įsperanza moves around a lot. Like sexuality, body changes, mental changes, the feelings of being judged and along all this being a feminist. This landmark story collection relates the triumphant coming-of-age of young Esperanza Cordero who finds her own voice and inner potential to overcome the impediments of poverty. It explores different aspects of what it's like to be welcomed into the world of woman hood. The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros has been recognized by critics, professors, and readers alike as one of most important contributions to modern literature. The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is a charming novel about an adolescent Mexican girl named Esperanza.
