Discussion Questions
Nearly all the characters in Cisneros's book dream of escaping. What do they want to leave? Describe the ways in which different people try to escape, as well as the result of their efforts. Do you think that Esperanza's dreams of escaping are likely to be more successful? How does being poor—as most of these characters are—affect one's chances of escaping a dead-end neighborhood or fulfilling other dreams? (randomhouse)
How does this connect to the Earl of Tennessee?
Why is Esperanza afraid of Sire? What do her parents think of him? Why is she so curious about what he does with Lois, and why does this curiosity make her feel as though "everything is holding its breath inside me" [73]?
What do the trees represent?
Why do you think Mamacita is upset when the baby spoke English?
What is the purpose of the allusion to Rapunzel?
