The House on Mango street. Part 2

Writer: Sandra Cisneros 

In the second part of the book, I would like to pay attention to character that interested me most. As outlined earlier, the little girl Esperanza talks about her life, life of friends and relatives. One of her neighbors was a girl Marin, who lived in the neighborhood in a family of her uncle. In my opinion she is very romantic, kind girl who wants a better life away from the place where she lived. Marin was sitting with nephews, sold Avon cosmetics and tells to little Esperanza lot of interesting things that she knew because she was older. One day, Marin told Esperanza that she has a fiance in Puerto Rico, and that she wants to marry him, then Marin showed the letters and took a promise that Esperanza will not tell anybody anything. Unfortunately, Marin's uncle has founded letters and sent the girl back to her mother. After that, Esperanza had not seen her, but she always knew that Marine was waiting something new, and someone to change her life.

The house on Mango street. 

 Writer: Sandra Cisneros 

  This book tells us about the life of a little girl and her family, which lives in a small house on Mango Street. The main character named Esperanza, she inherited the name from her grandmother. Esperanza describes her family, friends, and everyone else with whom she was connected. Their family consists of six people: parents, Carlos, Kiki, the youngest daughter Nenny and Esperanza. They were dreaming about a big white house with three washrooms, wide stairs and a large yard in front of the house, but instead of this, they got a little house of red brick with narrow stairs and small courtyard. The only advantage of this house is that it was their own. Esperanza's family didn't need to move from place to place in search of new rental house. This is the story of the life that describes the girl's memories about her home, first buying of bicycle, the smell of her mom's hair and much more.

New Planet May Be Able to Nurture Organisms

New York Times
Published: September 29, 2010

According to New York Times, scientists - astronomers have recently discovered a planet containing water on its surface. This means that the planet which was named Gliese 581g can be a home for plants and animals. This discovery is unique, and considered as the main achievement of the decade. Unfortunately, in the near future astronauts will not be able to get on Gliese 581g, because this planet is located in 20 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Libra. The only way to observe and study the new planet is using the most advanced and powerful telescopes. Scientists don’t really know what is happening on the surface of Gliese 581g. We only know that the temperature on the planet is from 10 to minus 24 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is approximately equal to the temperature of a sunny day in Antarctica. Scientists have never met the planet that would be so similar as our Earth, and as one of the scientists say: the chances of life on Gliese 581g is almost equal to 100%

My opinion:
I have chosen this article for a study, because I believe that the discovery of new planets that could support life is truly a revolutionary achievement for all people. I believe that we are not alone in the universe, and somewhere we will find the living of wise and clever creatures. The first step in this side has already done by scientists who discovered the Gliese 581g.
