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.

Answer:

No, I dont think they should be mandatory, but I do believe that masks should be. Students should get vaccinated to protect others, but at the end of the day it should be their own choice.
