The House on Mango Street is a series of short stories.  Each chapter is its own short story.  The chapters can be as long as a few paragraphs.  Me as a person, I mostly prefer fiction or fantasy.  The downside of the book is that none of the chapters have an actual plot.  It is very hard to understand characters sometimes in the book.  I couldn’t get attached to the book mostly.

All the chapters are very moving.  You must really your imagination.  There are a lot of rhetorical devices used.  This book has a feeling that it is really real.  There is almost no storyline.  They are cohesive with what little of a storyline.  Esperanza’s goes through good and bad while she grows up in the book.  You hope she has a good rest of her life while you read.

You could really use this book if you have a struggling child.  It isn’t really that hard to read.  Chapters are mostly a quarter page at most.  Ideas are really easy to pick up on.

I would give it 4 out of 5, because I personally couldn’t get any luck on understanding it.  I got bored on some chapters.  That is just my opinion.

If you are interested in Hispanic women lives in a poor condition, you should possibly read this.  If you will have a life full of possibilities, you should see how it is to have less.  If you feel all Hispanics are depressed you are wrong you should read this.  This book teaches many things many people don’t know.
