The House on Mango Street
written by Sandra Cisneros
So.. another day another book, right? Normally I wouldn't read a classic novel because they put me to sleep. Crazy? I know. This book on the other hand was entertaining. For me it gave me an idea of what can bring people together and how much something little can impact a persons life.
This book encompassed many short stories that were brought together in order to form a bigger picture. Cisneros brings the life of a Latin American native to the eyes of many readers. Although her short stories make the novel seem like an easy read, Cisneros uses many similes and metaphors to help connect the audience. A life in poverty doesn't mean that we should be ungrateful or that we shouldn't enjoy the life that we are given to fulfill.
