Cisneros uses Esperanza to symbolize her life in many ways. Cisneros uses Esperanza as alter ego as herself. She uses her own personal experiences such as thoughts and feelings to create the character Esperanza. Not everything in the book The House on Mango Street is true it is a realistic fiction piece. She adds additional information to make the book interesting for the readers.
Esperanza is a Mexican- American young girl who has multiple siblings. She is the oldest out of four. Esperanza’s family has been moving a lot. They could never find the right place to live. Its either they don’t have enough money to pay the rent or the house isn’t good enough. But they finally got a house. The house isn’t that pretty; it’s not that big either. The house on Mango Street is very small. The house is very old. There are three bed rooms and one small bathroom. It’s not quite a house someone would want to live but at least they have a house instead of an apartment.
Cisneros is Spanish- American almost like Esperanza. Cisneros grew up with a lot of siblings; she was the daughter among seven children. Just like Esperanza Cisneros’ family kept moving back and forth from the United States to Mexico because of her father’s homesickness to his country. She felt lonely and displaced while growing up, she had no one to look up to or have a girl to girl talk to except her mother which of course was too old to understand what Cisneros was going through. She felt comfort in reading and writing.
