Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) The House on Mango Street (1989) is a
deceptive work. It is a book of short stories-and
sometimes not even full stories, but character
sketches and vignettes-that add up, as Sandra

each story contributing to the whole-like beads
in a necklace." Conversations and the physical
structures in this book of short works, tell the
story of the economy, the culture, and the
physical conditions of the neighborhood.

and when Esperanza compares it to a friends house she feels her own "...looking smaller still, our house with its feet tucked under like a cat." (22). Later she
