I Am From...

I am from liquor, from Grey Goose Vodka and Bacardi Rum.

I am from the sweetness of my house’s fridge. The chocolate bar and the vanilla ice cream.

I am from playing golf with my great uncle and eating lots of candy, from Papo, Mamia, and Amama.

I am from giving money to the ones who need it, and spending time in family.

From “your uncle is a great person,” and “your uncle is a great cook”.

I am from god, our savior, and our king.

I’m from Panama, from my grandma’s cookies, and my mother’s cheesecakes.

From my pour grandfather, from the luck he had, from the effort he made, and from making our family wealthy.

I am from Remedios, from it’s relaxing fields, from the fresh air, from the lots of animals.

I’m from my mother’s side of the family tree and all my branches turn to that side and they’ll never change.

The House On Mango Street

The House On Mango street is a great memoir written by a well known  writer named Sandra Cisneros. This title means that her house on Mango Street meant a lot to her because this house made her realize something about herself.

This memoir is about Esperanza, a Mexican girl who lives in a poor naighborhood in the United States. She lives a live with many problems and while the story goes on she tells us everything about her life. Mainly of her growing up from a teenager to a young women.

In this story Esperanza tells us some things about her family. She tells us how her family, its members , and its issues. Esperanza also tells us about what she hoped for her future and what she dreamed . Last, she told us about how bos were not alike with girls and how a little thing could change your entire way to be.

At the end of this book Esperanza realizes that when she grows up she wants to have a big house of her own at the one she could point at and be proud of it.

I think this book was good in the way the author write and used poetic devices. Also, I found it easy to understand and interesting. I would recommend this book to a 14-16 years old boy or girl.

One quote I love from this memoir is “One day I will pack my bags of books and paper. One day I will say goodbye to Mango. I am too strong for her to keep me here forever. One day I will go away." I loved it because it let me realize how dedication and effort she has in order to accomplish her goals.Another line I loved was "When you leave you must remember to come back for the others.”. This line showed me that although she has fought so hard to get out from that neighborhood she’ll still come back once in  while to see her friends from her childhood.
