Book Review:


The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros so I remember reading this book when I was in high school I think and it kind of always stuck with me so I was really excited to reread this book and see if it was as great as 

I remembered this is really a coming-of-age story and I think it's a particularly beautiful one so the house on mango street is a novel I've been yet about a young Mexican American girl named Esperanza living in Chicago 

she lives in a barrio and she's like a place where a lot of spanish-speaking people live together in the house on mango street it's not a particularly great place it's a little bit poorer it's very cramped and it's one of the reasons why 

I speranza is kind of desperate for a house different than the house on mango street no surprises here but I love the house on mango street and the first reason for that is because as I said in 

I think my Hall when I first got this it's very poetic it's somewhere in between poetry and prose which is really interesting and I read online that Sandra Cisneros refers to these as lazy poems which is really cool the tone of the novel is very conversational as if she's talking directly to you like she would talk to anyone else it's just so freakin wonderful 

I know that there are people who don't like the house on mango street because it's particularly simple it's a really easy read it's you know I think 

I read it in ninth grade so I was probably 14 years old on the surface it seems like it's not much you know it's just sort of a story about a young girl growing up in Chicago but if you dig deeper there's a lot more there especially if you're into poetry you will find more 

In this book than what is on the surface once I got into the house of mango street I was reminded of another writer that sort of in Lane Sandra Cisneros her name is Gloria Anzaldua and I talked about her a little bit in my Hall as well I have her book Borderlands which is really relevant to this book 

I think and initially I was going to post a review about that book with this book and woman hollering Creek but now that I'm thinking about it it's much more complex than that 

so just know that Gloria anzaldúa like Sandra Cisneros speaks a lot about the the difficulties that people living between two cultures deal with that is something that comes up a lot in this book and especially in Borderlands by Gloria anzaldúa 

This also talks a little bit about abuse and dealing with the extremely patriarchal society growing up dependent on your father and knowing that one day you'll be dependent on a man 

when you know Esperanza really wants to live in a place of her own that is essentially what I think of this book and I definitely do recommend this if you especially like poetry 

if you're looking for something a little bit easy that you can dig deeper into if you want to read the house on mango street that's a pretty great book.
