The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros was a wonderful surprise. this was the second book I have read by this author and this book is very different from Carmelo.
As a collection of short stories, The House on Mango Street tells about the all the families and people that live on Mango Street.
“I want to be
like the waves on the sea,
like the clouds in the wind,
but like me.
One day I’ll jump
out of my skin.
I’ll shake the sky
like a hundred violins.”
Chapter 58
This book is about growing up. It is about being a girl. It is about dreaming dreams. It took me a minute for me to catch on, but I eventually fell in love with The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love the idea that this book is made of many little stories but I didn’t totally feel like the stories were truly linked together, however they were in a disconnected, connected way. I do love they way Cisneros uses words.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven.
For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information.
If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this:
Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world.
I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me.
I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
