Personal Narrative: My Responsibilities Of Esperanza

Esperanza, a strong- willed girl who dreams big despite her surroundings and restrictions, is the main character in The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.

I learned to have an unshakeable strength, a persevering courage and to be a fighter. I learned that I am capable of achieving the greatest things if I put my mind to it.

Her parents are in their fifties, her sister has Down Syndrome, and the dog is a Shih Tzu. They live in a funeral home in Lockport and the girl attends at DeSales Catholic School. Is the story simplistic enough? Great. Now you have all the information people knew about me when I moved in seventh grade. However, the story is incomplete.
