The "Notes" is like a missing piece in a clue. It helps the reader understand the story, and it gives the perception that a reader knows <span>Norman Bowker to a personal level. It was written after Norman died which kind of serves as a memoir of a person who has done great things but still considered himself a failure.

My appreciation of the story grew after reading the "Notes". I'm grateful for the added information and knowing what's real and what's not. The "Notes" showed a connection between the characters and the people they are based on in real life which made the story more heartfelt to the reader.</span>

Plz help with sections 4 question<br><br> And this is from the Book called “House on Mango Street”
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Shoes represent Sex and femininity.

Explanation:

Shoes in The House on Mango Street frequently evoke images of sex and adult femininity, and for Esperanza, they illustrate the conflict she feels between her emerging sexual attractiveness and her desire for independence. Esperanza makes the connection between shoes and sex for the first time when she, Lucy, and Rachel try on high-heeled shoes a neighbor gives them. The shoes transform their scarred, childish feet and legs into long, slim women’s legs, and what began as a childhood game of dress-up becomes something more dangerous, as male neighbors ogle them hungrily. That afternoon, they are happy to abandon the shoes, claiming they are bored with them. For the moment, Esperanza can smoothly shed her new sexual attractiveness and become a child again.

Hope this helps :)
