watching this for school

i love this book. the way the story is written is like a child would tell it.

her voice is so calming :)

I just ordered the book!!

Cisneros is communicating the idea of earned advantages and un-earned disadvantages. It isn’t her fault that she found herself in a lacking position while growing up (un-earned disadvantage). But she’s learned to articulate this emotional reality through literature because she has the earned advantage of a post-graduate education that coaxed her God-given talent for articulate self-expression. Now that’s a beautiful thing that anyone - or culture - can appreciate. If we dare try to see life through the cultural lenses of others, we can learn to understand their story. The House on Mango Street will then transform into a lovely tale of one's struggle to prevail. And for the vitriolic uninformed: Don’t be too quick to knock a man (or woman) off a horse when you cannot appreciate what it took for them to get on. (For the record, I’m neither Latino nor do I speak Española.)

Loving Sandra Cisneros ❤

here for school

House on Mango Street is a literary classic. Her books are definitely over my head except Mango Street, which I loved. She's led an interesting life. God Bless!!!

i love this book

Just finished this book in my 8th grade English. Great book, I love the figurative language!

I love her and her books! ^_^

Thank you for posting this, knopfgroup.

so we all watching this for school🤔

This is for school

YOU ARE BRILLIANT!

This shit is 11 years ago damn!!!

I loved this book!

I couldn't agree more with you. because of her, I failed my 7th grade english

It amazes me how hateful the people in these comments are toward this woman, but then again, that's what happens when you provide a bunch of moody and perpetually angst-ridden middle-schoolers with access to the internet. I've read The House on Mango Street twice, once on my own and once at university, and I disliked it both times, mainly for stylistic reasons. But I've always found Cisneros a very intelligent and interesting woman. I could listen to her speak for hours. Just because you didn't like a book doesn't mean you have to attack the author.

I read the book so long ago, I don't remember if it was elementary or middle school but its stuck with me ever since. I remember a part in the book where the kids put high heels and walk down the street, dunno why that scene stuck with me in particular.

I'm reading this book now & before I was able to read this book I had to watch this video first & answer a question on why did the author write this book

i loved this book! it was soo simple and easy to read. and funny too. i find it funny people read this book in the 8th and 10th grade. i read it in 4th grade but my school was....weird!

Who’s on this version cause they thought they could just search it up, without the link on another device and wasted 4 minutes watching the wrong thing

can you answer a question about the book: how Cisneros uses language to establish a distinct point of view within her novel. Consider how Esperanza’s personality, her observations of those she meets, or her experiences living on Mango Street are developed by Cisneros to create a distinct point of view within the novel

Forget all you haters you are all just people without a hobby

@tehhkrmn65 am not a "bro" and to answer your question am not smoking anything. why the dumb question?

read it in 7th grade too. do you get packets of questions after reading a chapter?

I swear this is the most wholesome person alive

@caramelcoated19 what chu smokin bro?

MUNGO am i right?!

ayo school emma

@orangeporanges what Chu smoking bro

@tehhkrmn65 Me too.. the grammar is horrible. There are so many incomplete scentences and the word dont & aint are in every other sentence.

me too

I'm reading that book now and I'm in seventh grade.

For those who really hate this book, it is because of prejudice or lack of culture. Other than that I have no more reasons.

fuck she keep talking wild low for I'm here for school😭

The latest comment was 4 months ago!!!!

THATS MY AUNT NO JOKE!!!!

@bleezyfolks1 hhahahahaha

School be like

The comment section is too funny. XD

Every chapter is a different subject.. I was like " WHAT THE FUCK!!"

I absolutely hated this book! but now that i think about it, a lot of the short stories in it were very good, i just hated the way she put it all together. But i must admit, she's a very talented writer, i just dont like this book.

This book is absurd. Seems like everyone is an author these days regarding of the incoherent ramblings they attempt to engage their audiences with. I suppose it's just like the piece of art where someone dunked a crucifix in urine and called it art, in that light, this book may be considered art.

this book is terrible, i hate it so much, i see no inspiration at all
