The House on Mango Street Review
For this review I will be looking at The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. This book is structured in short stories/chapters following the life young Esperanza leads while living on Mango Street. The book covers some hard topics but overall is gracefully written and a good read. I liked the structure of this book.

She does this so that this book has something for everyone. There is a lot one can gather as an adult reader, and a lot one can gather as a younger reader. I liked the realness of the characters. I had no trouble believing
