I think the answer is capitulation.
Esperanza describes how her family came to live at her house on Mango Street the family owns this house so they are no longer subject to winners of landlord in at the old apartment made us friends I feel shamed about where she lives. They have been through struggle and hard times. It represents freedom, confinement and success and failure fantasy, reality. She is embarrassed about her living conditions.
Hope this helps
