Congratulations on finishing your first novel, House on Mango Street!!!
Now that you have finished, I am sure that you have many unanswered questions or comments for Esperanza. Tomorrow, we will write a letter to the main character.
Parents:
As we read the novel, students wrote interesting comments, notable quotes, and unanswered questions on sticky notes. Now, they will revisit those notes in order to write a letter to the main character, Esperanza. Esperanza’s final realization as a growing adolescent is that she has a penchant for writing. She recognizes that her writing ability will give her the means to escape from Mango Street. Because Esperanza is a writer, she is a keen observer, and we see her ability to view and understand her neighborhood mature.
