Question

In the book "The House on Mango Street" what happens to Esperanza at the carnival? What role does Sally play in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1:

Then Sally disappears with an older boy, and Esperanza waits for her by the red clowns. While she is waiting, a group of boys attacks Esperanza. She never describes exactly what happens, except that one boy forces her to kiss him and keeps saying “I love you, Spanish girl,” but it's implied that she was raped.

Question 2:

After being assaulted by a group of boys, Esperanza blames Sally for abandoning her and making her vulnerable. She also feels angry at Sally for misleading her about sex and romance.
