Explore how Esperanza navigates the tension between societal expectations for women and her personal desire for independence. Consider examples from her interactions with characters such as Sally, Marin, Alicia, and her mother.  Discuss how Esperanza’s understanding of her identity changes from the beginning to the end of the book. How does she come to see herself in relation to Mango Street and her community? Over the course of the novel, Esperanza uses a number of similes and metaphors to explain her name. She says it is "like the number nine," "a muddy color," and "songs like sobbing" in Spanish, contrasting with its English meaning of "hope," but also has a "softer something, like silver," yet feels heavy, like a "red balloon tied to an anchor." What do these metaphors and similes reveal about her feelings towards identity and larger themes of desiring for freedom and complex ties to heritage? Discuss how symbolism is used to express major themes in The House on Mango Street, such as freedom, confinement, and hope. You may consider symbols such as the house, shoes, trees, or windows.
