The house on Mango street
by Sandra Cisneros
In the story The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Esperanza talks about getting shoes and talking to older men. The comments that the men and younger boys are highly inappropriate. When the man said that he would call the cops on them and tells them to take them off, I think they should of listen to the man because it would of saved them from being really awkwarded out from all the things that happens with the boys. The girls don’t want to give up their shoes but they don’t want all this attention anymore.
In the beginning of this story Esperanza a young seventh grader, moves into a house on Mango street and meets her friends Lucy and Rachel. In the first few chapters she talks about shoes and describes what happens when she gets the shoes. One day the grandmother of a family with tiny feet asked, “Do you wants these? and gave us a paper bag with one pair of lemon shoes and one red and one pair of dancing shoes that used to be white but now pale blue” (40). They really like those shoes. They would wear them all around town and was learning how to walk perfectly in them. They walked around to get all the attention they could get by all the boys. They didn’t think it would be much trouble. Until Rachel got asked for a kiss by a homeless man, they got really scared. They took off and then they threw the shoes away. They don’t understand which type of attention that they should get and they don’t understand that some types of attention is really inappropriate and shouldn’t be happening.
When they were walking around the town in their high heels. “On the Avenue a boy on a home made bicycle calls out: Ladies, led me to heaven” (41). If this boy was around their age then it would be fine. Esperanza, Rachel and Lucy both like all the boys checking them out and giving them wanted attention. All 3 of them want this attention, and don’t find it wrong when the men call out complements or do something to them. The shoes make them look older and more mature and they want to look prettier and get seen as older girls instead of seventh graders. The boys that complement them they think they look really good and older. They make complements that make the girls feel good but it could get inappropriate. The girls don’t know it could lead to something sexual or it could end into harassment.
The boys hit on the girls when they were wearing the shoes, the point is that they shouldn’t wear high heels, because the girls could get hurt or they could get sexually harassed by older man. Some times older man can be perverts and as she was saying when she walked up to the old man he said to Rachel, “You are a pretty girl. bum man continues, whats your name pretty girl?” (41). But rachel didn’t even care that the man was talking to her and was falling for his tricks. He asked her “If I give you a dollar will you kiss me?”(42) She was going to, until Lucy grabs her and ran. These shoes are very inappropriate for a little girl that get to roam around the town by them selves. The point with these shoes is wearing dressy or high heels it could be really dangerous specially if they did get sexually harassed by an older man that would scar them for life.
In the story The house on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Esperanza a seventh grader, wears shoes like a young lady with her friends and it makes them look older. They go around talking to all the boys. They think they could look more older and more presentable with high heels. They want to get noticed by all the boys that they see. Until Rachel was being talked to by an old homeless guy that asked for a kiss for a dollar. Esperanza talks about all sorts of shoes and her adventures with her shoes and what happens with all the comments and boys watching. She talks about all the harassment she gets when she walks around town and to about what happens and about all the problems that happens with them.
This piece shows how I can be really sloppy in the essay form. It also showed that I had learned a little bit more about writing essays and correctly citing quotes in a paragraph. If I could of course now that I have learned much more about the key to essays I would upgrade this 5 paragraph essay and make it have better grammar, less run-ons and fragments. If i compared this writing and a writing from last year and the end of freshman year you would see a little bit of change :)
