i don’t really understand why it’s getting banned i think it talks about real life things 

Como hispana
entre mas leía más se me rompía el corazón. Creo que todas conocemos a alguien como las mujeres de estas historias lo cual lo hace aún más personal.

This book is more a collection of vignettes than a novella, it segues from one character to another without giving time for anyone to make a true impression. Sadly, I felt I would forget these stories almost as quickly as I had read them and that I would be left with just a general feeling of what the book was about rather than something specific to hold on to.

There is a sense of people reaching for a better life, but also the idea that all lives count, that these people are living just as varied and meaningful an existence as the people in the larger houses that our child narrator so admires. I liked that in the end, she wants to escape, but she is thinking of how she can return to bring others out with her. I think she might, in her later years, learn to remember Mango Street with a sweetness that will be unexpected. She claims it is not, but it is home.
