The House on Mango Street. The diary of the strongest character

Sandra Cisneros

This book is a collection of short stories from the life of a girl (she's the author) who was born in Chicago, but has a parents born in Mexico. Esperanza main heroine of the book and on my opinion the strongest character. Despite the fact that Esperanza an American girl, she has an unusual name and very shy of this. Many times people told Esperanza that her name is strange. Esperanza wanted to be like all the other children and does not stand out. In her stories touched upon cultural, racial, familial and other problems that Esperanza shares with the readers.
 If I were the main character of this book, Esperanza, I would write in my diary that I very proud to have Mexican roots, and I could speak two languages: Spanish and English. I would have written that finally one of the dream has become reality, and our family lives in our own house. Maybe it's not as big as we would like, but we should not find again a new place for living. In my diary, I would like to share of my daily life stories about school, friends and dreams. I would write all my emotions from the first purchased the bicycle to the first kiss, and that I have such a beautiful and rare name.
