I never meant to make this such a mess. I didn't think that it would go this far- standing here, watching a gun being held up to my mother and my best friend. The gang members- or at least, that's what I assumed they were, had told me that I had to choose. Me or them. My best friend, Brandon, and I had been friends since kindergarten. I want to save his and my mother's life- but I knew they would never forgive me. It goes the same way. How could I, a 17 year old girl, survive on my own without my mother or my best friend? Who appeared to be the leader of the gang stepped forward and told me I had 15 seconds to choose. 15 seconds to decide- would I take my own life to save the others I care about or kill them instead of me. 12. 11. My palms were sweating and tears were streaming down my face. 10. I just want to go home. 9. 8. Go home and sit in bed and not have to worry about any of this. 7. 6. 5. I should've never done that. This was all my fault. It's all my fault that I'm choosing between myself or the ones I love. 4. My mind was racing. I could only think about one thing- these were the people I loved and I couldn't let them die. 3. 2. Without thinking, I jumped in front of the guns aimed at my mother and Brandon's heads. 1. The gang leader snickered. 0.

The House on Mango Street deals with personal identity and coming into your own, but also shows how that personal identity is sh
Anit [1.1K]

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.
