Mango Street Post 1
I'm barely 30 pages in the book, but usually when that far someone can form an opinion on what they are reading. Yet, with this book.. I have nothing. I don't like it, but I don't hate it. Personally I'm just confused, I have no idea where the book is going or what it is about. I just keep reading short easy chapters about Esperanza's life that barely have anything to do with each other. But I'm not giving up yet, I'm just crossing my fingers that the book becomes a little more interesting or maybe makes more sense!? I think that from what I have read so far, it definitely has potential to be a good book. Slowly as the book goes on I'll probably learn more about where Esperanza's family came from and why they are at the state they are in right now.

I agree with Courtney's original analysis. I thought that it was a little boring in the beginning, but the later stories actually ended up being interesting. The book, by the end (even though I got this AS I was reading the book), all came together. I think that Esperanza enhances the story as she transitions from insecure to confident.
