TEXT V
Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught
everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the
country, and translated all over the world, The House on Mango
Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero.
Told in a series of vignettes – sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes
deeply joyous – it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in
Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few

move each year. And our house would have running water and
pipes that worked. And inside it would have real stairs, not hallway
stairs, but stairs inside like the houses on T.V. And we'd have a
basement and at least three washrooms so when we took a bath
we wouldn't have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with
trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence.
This was the house Papa talked about when he held a lottery ticket
and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told
us before we went to bed.
