  The House on Mango Street is about a girl who wants to live in a house or at least stay at one
being able to say that, that’s her home. It is a good book that I would read again it really caught
my attention and stayed on point making it even more interesting. Sandra Cisneros the author did
good on showing the funny side of Mango Street and the sad or depressing side of it. It is about a
girl whose name is Esperanza and she really doesn’t like that name because her grandma had that
name and was always very sad. She has two brothers and one little sister and her mom and dad,
she has made friends all the while that she is there and some friends are good friends and some
are just bad.  The setting is a little neighborhood that is on Mango Street and the neighbors their aren’t
mean or anything but they also are not so nice.

  When Esperanza got their she said that she didn’t have any friends and was only friends with her sister
Nenny , which she doesn’t like. I liked how it was formatted not by sequence much but more by what
was happening and whatever happened she would say something about it that happened to her before
like flash backs. This book is really good anyone can read it because it doesn’t show like for an age limit
and I would tell everyone to read it. Some books always try to stick to one point but this book is all
different sometimes it has a happy mood sometimes a sad mood. This is why I like this book and why
others should read it.
