Esperanza grew up in the Chicago cuts moving around from house to house. A significant place for Esperanza was little red house on Mango Street. The house tempted Esperanza giving her many twits. The little red house on Mango Street allowed Esperanza to sense a place of her own, something to call a home,no one could take. Though no one could take the actual possession she held, opinions and Esperanza's analysis led to discouragement. Towards the beginning of the book Esperanza realized her place, compared to normal big star standards.
“Once we were living on loomis a nun from my school passed by and saw me playing out front....Where do you live? she asked.
There, i said pointing up to the third floor.
You live there?
...the way she said it made me feel like nothing. There. I lived There, I nodded.”(Page 5)
Esperanza was willing to understand the nun when she questioned where she lived. But as the nun asked where she lived, Esperanza realized more in dept within herself and her community. From that moment on Esperanza began to grow as a person and to understand her purpose.
Even though Esperanza faced several problems she encountered throughout her life she never did allow any of them to hold her back. Relating to trees and windows understand in dept positions in her surroundings she swiftly moved on from hating herself, wanting more and being like everyone else, into using resources surrounding her. Esperanza began to utilize the resources among her community to go forward, overcoming obstacles she faced. “They will know i have gone away to come back. for the ones i left behind” (Page 110)She was able to move forward with her life and has a bright future among her life. Esperanza's inspiration came from her community to become a better person. From her inspiration it is obvious she plans to assist her community.Esperanza becoming successful will be driving to go back and change her community.
