THE HOUSE ON THE MANGO STREET EDUCATION
Sandra Cisneros’s The House On Mango Street is about a young Latin girl named Esperanza Cordero who moved to a different neighborhood in Chicago with her family. As she lives in Chicago, Esperanza meets new and interesting people. She also finds t what it’s like to live in the projects of Chicago as she explores places around the neighborhood such as the monkey garden, corner stores, fairs etcetera, and also by running into a few complications because of a girl named Sally.
Education and writing is a great way to better your life. In The House on Mango Street, to Esperanza education offers freedom and not only a way to better her life, but also a way to better other peoples’ lives
In the chapter titled Born Bad, it was pretty much about Esperenza’s aunt.She says I took my library book to her house.i read her stories’ the quote shows how Ezperanza enjoys reading. Even if there is poverty in the family of Esperanza , through reading , she enjoys her life as an educator with her aunt.
From the chapter A Smart cookie, Esperanza’s mother “Esperanza, you go to school and study hard to take care of your own. “these quote from her mother is explaining why she quit school and how education is essential in one's life time. This encourages her more to study hard.
Also in the last chapter titled mango says” good-bye sometimes .EZPERANZA says one day I will pack my books and papers. She also says one day she will say bye to mango. She continues to say I am too strong for her to keep me here forever .finally she says one day I will go away.”
Esperanza views education and writing as a way to better her life. With her education, she will be able to find her way off Mango Street and do something with her life Esperanza is not a big fan of the gender roles that keep women in her community oppressed. Men on Mango Street beat their wives and daughters and confine them to the home. Just being women is sometimes causing enough for abuse – a fact that we observe in the beatings that Sally constantly receives, and in Esperanza's rape. Esperanza offers us a critique of the way men and women relate to one another, and refuse to conform to the expectations placed on her sex by getting married or even acting in a feminine way. For our protagonist, defying gender roles and remaining independent is an act of rebellion, and a source of power. This simply shows the effect of education Esperanza had acquired compared to other women in Mango Street, who never knew their gender rights.
Like many of the issues that come up in The House on Mango Street, social and class, distinctions are discussed, in a sort of oblique way. They are never given a name. Our protagonist, Esperanza, never comes out and says, "Hey, my family is poor!" No. That would be excessively easy (and way too boring). Instead, we figure out that poverty and class distinctions are an issue by pulling clues from the text. The residents of Mango Street live in crumbling, run-down apartments and houses. They envy the beautiful, well-kept houses in nice neighborhoods of the city. In addition, no one, not even the mayor, seems to want to help them resolve their problems. Esperanza's plans for social activism and reform involve helping individuals, including her, to pull themselves out of the poorer class and enter the wealthier class and this would have been possible through her education.
For a girl who feels as isolated as Esperanza does, making friends becomes an urgent and persistent goal. The House on Mango Street deals with the theme of friendship as Esperanza struggles to form connections with her peers and thinks about what her relationships mean. Esperanza experiences a wide variety of friendships over the course of the novel that seems to increase in intensity and meaning. From the obligatory time spent babysitting her little sister, to the spontaneous connections made with neighborhood girls over a shared bicycle, to the empathy and advice offered to her by Alicia, Esperanza grows more and more mature in her friendships .especially after Acquiring education she learns to accommodate more friends
Esperanza ultimately rejects beauty as a source of power because she sees it as a double-edged sword that can both control men and trap women under men's control. Women occupy a central role in The House on Mango Street. Almost all of the major characters are women, and the protagonist's understanding of her own femininity motivates much of the story. Esperanza perceives beauty to be a major source of feminine power, and she admires and envies beauty in her female relatives and friends. However, she also notices that beauty is not an infallible weapon, and that it can backfire – the beautiful women in the novel are often the ones who suffer the most at the hands of men. In her struggle to define her own femininity in a society that is often oppressive to women, Esperanza seeks new forms of feminine power – ones that will allow her to maintain her independence.
By the end of the novel, Esperanza is poised to become what is, in her society, a kind of New Woman – soon to attain a level of independence that was unheard of for women in earlier generations, and possessing the confidence, education, and means to exist in the world without relating to men in a hierarchical way
In conclusion, education plays a vital role in shaping the life of Ezperanza from one field to another, as it illustrated above by Sandra Cisneros’ in the book “the house on the mango street
