Page 45 of Page 44 of But the house on Mango Street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath. Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in. There is no front yard, only four little elms the city planted by the curb. The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros shares the world from the point of view of a young Mexican girl named Esperanza. Growing up in the Latinx section of Chicago, Esperanza both experiences and observes the stifling nature of gender stereotypes, rape culture, and gender-based violence. She yearns to escape a house. When I began The House on Mango Street, I thought I was writing a memoir. By the time I finished it, my memoir was no longer memoir, no longer autobiographical. It had evolved into a collective story peopled with several lives from my past and present, placed in one fictional time and neighborhood—Mango Street. A story is like a Giacometti.
