Hi Victoria!

The changes from this point on are dramatic and Esperanza is pulled along in a tide of world changing events. Her mother and Grandmother try to help her understand that they have to be strong and do what they have to do, to survive. At first, Esperanza feels hopeless and sad for her life, wanting to act as she always has, she resist’s changing. While her outlook on the world stays the same, the world does not.

Once Montag gets home he finds his wife Mildred looking lifeless, his wife had tried to commit suicide.

She opens the door to her childhood, beginning with when she was 3 years old and boiling her own hot dog by standing on top of the chair to reach the stovetop. While doing that, her pink dress catches on the fire because of which gets her horribly burned. She spends a few days in the hospitals and enjoys it too, because she is getting food on time and is not left starving. One day her dad shows up and they run off out of the hospital without paying the bills of her treatment. That night her family leaves the town and move to another place, taking as much stuff as possible with them. Most of her childhood memories involve her whole family- mom, dad, Jeanette, Lori, Brian, and later on Maureen -moving from one desert towns to another, settling in as long as her dad can hold the job. This happened more frequently due to the dad’s alcoholism coupled with his paranoia about the organized society and the state. One of the towns they stayed in was Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they spend a few months. Jeanette and her brother Brian spent many hours exploring the desert and collecting rocks. Even their mother got a job as a teacher and

“We were only eighteen when we wedded. She was the love of my life. I still remember our wedding day like it was just yesterday. She stood there at the end of the isle, looking gorgeous as always. Her gentle, ivory shoulders were exposed through the lace of her wedding dress and her luscious strawberry blonde hair fell in perfect ringlets around her pale, yet flawless face.”

At no point in time did the couple attempt to privatize their lifestyle by putting up curtains to cover the window. Seeing as Diane also choose the same position to live with no curtains covering the window as she was younger and now as mother of a three year old child, she can relate to how that lifestyle brought her happiness. The couple’s style of living reminded her of how she used to live to point that they became a symbol of her younger years. After some time, Diane became engrossed with their lives. Their lives grew into a part of her life as her fascination drew her closer; she even picked up on the smaller things in their lives, such as the buying a new pot for plants. In subsequent time, the couple was forgotten over the seven to eight month period of time in which the couple had become absent to their room and only the girl would be seen from time-to-time. Following this, Diane saw a chubby in the room with a skeletal bald man. She came to the conclusion that he was terribly sick and she started to watch the window all the time. Over some time, the man would just be seen lying in bed curled up with his head to the window. He dwindled in size as the days passed and one day, with a notice from her husband, she gained knowledge of activity going on in the couple’s bedroom. She saw that people had gathered around the man in this room to give their goodbyes.
