I teach this piece of literature to my Freshman classes of Intro to Literature. At very first glance, this tiny novel is deceptively simple in its structure and format. Without serious looking at the novel, it would appear to be flat and empty. Most of the chapters are less than 1 1/2 pages. There is no strong plot line but mere episodes in Esperanza's life and neighborhood. Yet, if you read this piece of literature as Sandra Cisneros wrote it to be read as a extended poem rather than a prose work, you can begin to see the depth of the characters and the action in the novel. The uses of color, imagery, and simple language all make the poetic influence stronger. For example, in the chapter titled "Hips", Esperanza describes her hips as "Ready and waiting like a new Buick with the keys in the ignition. Ready to take you where?" (pg.49) House on Mango Street is a great piece of writing with many layers to it that teachers are always looking for instruction in a literature class.

The book The House On Mango Street, was an interesting book. It made you look at things differently and see what life would be like as a Mexican, or even Mexican American. For people who really aren't open to the culture, it gives them a look into the lives of others, and for me, gave me a respect for the women of the Mexican culture. I think that this is a very good book for people to read, and learn about others.

I thought the book was ridiclous and uneventful. All it was was a bunch of random memories that really made no sense. I could have written a book about my childhood memeories that could have been much better. The characters don't change during the course of the story, but that's probably because it had NO PLOT. I had to read this book for my Junior English class and hated every moment of it. I am a avid book reader and usually like most books but this book I could not stand. You don't feel for the characters at all because she never really explains the characters. The chapters made no sense and skipped around too much. It was hard to tell just how old she was. Some of the events in the book were to far fetched for anyone to believe. Nothing in the book went together. She would say that this character is dead or had moved but then would talk about them in the subsequent chapter. I really see no need for this book at all. If you needed a book that described peoples personal and dramatic expereinces, then there are PLENTY that are out there that are way better. Overall I thought that this book was a complete waste of valuable and precious time!
