The House on Mango Street deals with personal identity and coming into your own, but also shows how that personal identity is sh

aped by numerous social issues. Some social issues that the book deals with are ethnicity, gender, age, and economic class. Select 3 chapters and explain what social issue is being dealt with and how Cisneros depicts these ideas through the eyes of an adolescent. Make sure your response talks about 3 separate chapters, identifies one specific social issue that all three chapters deal with, and explains how Cisneros illustrates these ideas through the eyes of a young narrator. Use quoted evidence from the novel to support your answer (at least one quote per chapter). Your response should be about 2-3 paragraphs long.

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.

Angelica had 25.00 she wants to buy a bunny necklace that cost 14.95 and a bunny bracelet that costs 5.89 if Angelica buys items
diamong [38]

Answer:

$4.16

Explanation:

First you add the bunny necklace & bunny bracelet together

14.95 + 5.89 = 20.84

Then you subtract the money Angelica already has ($25) with the money both of the jewelry pieces cost ($20.84).

25.00-20.84=4.16

Therefore, the amount of change Angelica receives will be $4.16.

Read the excerpt from We've Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson.
Luda [366]

Answer:

The general statement about the Movement that is most likely true is:

D) All of the participants in the march were deeply inspired by the Movement.

Explanation:

We are basing our answer on the excerpt provided in the question. The excerpt does not give us enough information to know if everyone had their parents permission, or if they all belonged to that same church, much less if they were all crying tears of joy. It does, however, induce us to believe all the participants were deeply inspired by the movement. According to the narrator, they were not only very organized, but they knew what was going to happen. They knew they would be arrested, but they felt so inspired with courage that they kept on coming, defying the authorities. As the narrator says, "The ... Movement was moving  forward. It was just overwhelming."

How does the setting of the story affect the way the narrator views the civilian?
Leya [2.2K]
Hey there! Sometimes setting can be in another country, or even world, which may effect their ethnicity. Also, time can effect a person. It changes the way they dress, eat, sleep, and live everyday life. Like for instance, say you had a man who lived in america in the 2010s era. You would assume he would be of american ethnicity or have at least a bit of civilian in them, and they would usually dress in a t-shirt and jeans, with a nice pair of shoes. Now say you had someone from Arabia in the 1900s. He would be of Arabian ethnicity, and he would more than likely be wearing a sort of robe to keep the sand off of his body. Also, place can effect the animals they interact with. Say, for instance, the Arabian man had a stead. More than likely it would be a Camel. If the american had a stead, it would more likely be a donkey, horse, or mule. Also, because of the animals they interact with being different, they would also eat different food. Say for instance, the American. More than likely, he would eat Pork, Beef, or even Bacon. But if you had someone from Ireland or Scotland they would more than likely eat Lamb Chops, or even Liver. This sometimes effects the lifespan of the characters, depending on how healthy the food is. See, setting is a lot more important in stories than people think. These are only some of the many ways setting effects the way the narrator views the civilian. Hope this helped!

Thanks!
