Thehouseonmangostreet Stories

An assignment I did for English. Holly struggles to find herself and her place, she decides to go roller skate and bring back some nostalgia to cheer her up when she meets a boy who used to go to her childhood rink. They become friends and she becomes more open to people, is it just part of growing up, or was it something else? Turned in the vignettes (ch 1-4) turning this into an oc x character type story, but as you can probably tell from the cover the MC/OC is heavily based off Melone in this story.

This was an English project, making a story based on The House On Mango Street. It's just about random things on daily life. I hope you enjoy!

It's been ten years since The House on Mango Street was first published. I began writing it in graduate school, the spring of 1977, in Iowa City. I was twenty-two years old. I'm thirty-eight now, far from that time and place, but the questions from readers remain, Are these stories true? Are you Esperanza?

Thesis statement of the essay: We can all read The House on Mango Street and know that it is tackles the topic of women's rights, who are repressed by the male figure in their lives. But this text would be interpreted differently if read by a female reader from France or a female reader from Mexico, for there is a big cultural difference between the two countries. While Mexico taught women that men are superior, French women learned to fight for their rights no matter what.

This book(I guess) is going to be composed of vignettes. They are either completely completely true or loosely based on my life. While you're reading you can tell what me you think of each vignette.
