This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

Both the trees and Esperanza have "skinny necks and pointy elbows", and both don´t belong where they are. The trees should grow in nature, not in a city. Similarly, Esperanza feels like she doesn´t belong in the neighborhood. Furthermore, the resilience of those trees that "grew despite concrete" symbolizes Esperanza´s resilience to persevere notwithstanding the impediments imposed by her being poor.

Explanation:

The question refers to the section Four Skinny Trees from the book “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros.

There, the four trees found in her front yard symbolize Esperanza´s experience of feeling like an outsider and wanting to reach out for something else.
