The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros is an interesting book about a girl named Esperanza. This book is unique because it follows Esperanza’s life, but instead of being a continuous story throughout, we see her story through snippets of her life. Esperanza grew up in a poor neighborhood. We see important parts of her life and how these memories shaped her into who she became. I loved this book because it is a unique story that sends a strong message to its readers. I also loved how each snippet of her life shows the readers a new lesson or memory she got from that specific part of her life. I also enjoyed how the author described the environment and characters around Esperanza because it plays a huge role in how you view Esperanza. I would recommend this book to people that like poetic writing that has a lot of depth to it.
