Something that i was thinking to write about is how she connects to all kinds of people not only Latinos because she talks about things and problems that happen to anybody no matter your ethnicity, like in the second book I'm reading My Wicked Wicked Ways she talks about guy problems, abuse and other things that anyone goes through. which is very important because they say her books are latino based but that happens to anybody and in the The House On Mango House she talks about her family not having alot of money but that happens to alot of people.

Something i see that Sandra Cisneros does alot in the book I'm not sure if its considered symbolism but she portrates her character as this young girl growing up to a young women but she sees the world from a little girls view. she sees everything so innocent and even if the people around her happen to change she still likes the way she is I'm not sure if its cause she really sees it that way or if she refuses to see the world the way an older person would see it. She writes it in such a way that you can see were she is coming from like it doesn't irritate me tat she is acting that way and I'm sure that if i read it in another book i would be annoyed by the character.

I'm still going to talk about The House On Mango Street but since i read it in two days im going to talk about some of my favorite chapters. One of them was A Smart Cookie, this was one of my favorite because in this chapter she talks about her mother and how she so smart and has all these different qualities to her. She writes and makes it clear that her mom is important not only to her but also to her whole family, she talks about her youth and sll her mom had to offer. Since this book is based on her latino life i think it kind off compares to mine because my mom is important to me to and even though she thought great things about her mom she still didnt have such a close relationship with her the same in my case. I giess it just might be something that happens in latino families often.

This is one of the passages from my book that I'm reading which is The House On Mago Street. " Not a flat. Not an apartment in back. Not a man's house. Not daddy's. A house all my own. With my porch and my pillow, my pretty purple petunias. My books and my stories. My two shoes waiting beside my bed. Nobody to shake a stick at. Nobody's garbage to pick up after. Only a house quiet as snow, a space for myself to go, clean paper before the poem" (108). This passage stuck out to me because the way she describes everything she is imagining her house will look like and how it will feel to have a house of her own. She is one of them authors that describes everything in great detail you can see it through out the book, it's also very different in her situation because she is describing something she has never seen it's all in her head so she does an even better job because the reader can also see it.
Well i finish the book in two days and i didn't really see what page i stoped at between those day, but i really like how she writes. Like when i was reading her book it was just interesting it caught my attention the way she wrote and explain everything she saw in great detail.
