Overview Overview: For the next few weeks we will be reading, studying and analyzing Sandra Cisneros’ short novel, The House on Mango Street. The novel is made up of 44 short character sketches, or stories, called vignettes. Esperanza, a Mexican-American young woman who just moved with her family to Mango Street, narrates them. Since the stories don’t really follow each other chronologically, we are going to read the novel in the thematic sections outlined for you below. We will be addressing different subjects and literary devices for each set of stories.

Section One: Self Definition and Identity Pre-reading question: What is the personal significance of your given name (first, middle and last)? Does your name mean different things to you, your family, and your friends? What are your nicknames? What do your nicknames mean to you and those who call you those names? Answer these questions. Your answers should be in paragraph form. Read pp The House on Mango Street; Hairs; Boys and Girls; My Name

Complete the following questions Complete the following: 1) Describe the house on Mango Street 2) Who lived in the house on Mango Street ? 3) Where did the family live before moving to Mango Street? 4) Who was the Landlord at the house on Mango Street ? 5) What were the problems with the house on Loomis Street? 6) Describe the house that the young girl dreamed of owning. 7) Describe the young girl’s attitude about the house on Mango Street. 8) Who is the narrator of the Mango Street story?

Exit Slip On the same sheet of paper write at least a paragraph about one of the following: a) A favorite house where you live or once lived. b) Describe your dream house. c) A time when your family was denied housing because of their race, religion or beliefs. BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH ALL WRITINGS CONSCERNED WITH THIS NOVEL. AT THE END OF THIS NOVEL WE WILL BE PREPARING OUR OWN COLLAGE OF VIGNETTES.
