The first chapter talks about economic instability, the fourth chapter talks about sexism, and chapter 22 talks about the difficulties of living far from home.
<h3>How do these chapters establish this in the narrator's view?</h3>
- In the first chapter, Esperanza, the narrator, has to move to a neighborhood with little infrastructure and a very small house.
- This change must be made because her family is having financial problems.
- Change makes everyone live with few resources, limitations, and problems.
- The fourth chapter highlights how Esperanza's grandmother was forced to marry a man she didn't want.
- This chapter highlights the lack of respect that women were subjected to in the Mexican community.
- This lack of respect prevented women from fulfilling their desires.
- Chapter 22 shows Esperanza's father receiving the news that his father, who lives in Mexico, has died.
- Esperanza's family is living in the USA, which prevented her father from having contact with his father, in his last days of life.
- This distance makes the sadness and grief even greater.
Although Esperanza is a teenager, the difficulties of living as a foreigner with few resources force her to have a very mature view of the society around her. At this point, we can see that Esperanza recognizes the problems of her family and her community in a very objective way and with thoughts away from childishness and innocence.
This underscores Esperanza's desire to seek a better future for herself and not live by what the community has established as right.
