    Many people who have read Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan believe that Esperanza and her mother should have stayed in Mexico, but in my opinion, I believe that they were right to leave for California.

At the same time, when they went to California, they did not have to leave everything behind, it was a choice they made. After all, as Esperanza herself said in
