+challenges in her life+

I think that Esperanza is facing a hard time right now. Her challenge is to move to the United states and live in El Rancho de las Rosas any more,the other challenge that Esperanza is facing is that  her dad died. I don't think that Esperanza  is feeling so happy. I think think she is very upset because her uncle want's to get marred whit her mother. She doesn't wanted to because her uncle is her dad's brother. She is feeling very badly. She  has reason to bee sad. Esperanza thought the every thing would be so happy,but her grandmother said no hay Rosas sin Espinaz. She has allot of sadnesses in her but she can't returned every think like it was.

No hay Rosas sin Espinasz = Is not roses with out thorns

Why did Tio Luis burn Esperanza's house?

Hello, I'm back from Washington D.C.

I read the book and I read that Esperanza's house was burning! and she couldn't find her grandmother. Then she thought it was a dream. I think Esperanza is feeling sad and bad because she has to leave El Rancho de las Rosas and she doesn't want to. She sad because her uncle wants to get married with her mother. He burned the house because then Esperanza's mother couldn't get money from the grapes that he burned. Esperanza knew that he did it.

I think that Tio Luis killed his brother.

Las Mañanitas

This song is representing when it's your birthday. That song for me is very special. Esperanza was imagining to have that song after her dad died.

Estas son las mañanitas, que cantaba el Rey David,
Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti,
Despierta, mi bien, despierta, mira que ya amaneció,
Ya los pajarillos cantan, la luna ya se metió.
Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte,
Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte,
Ya viene amaneciendo, ya la luz del día nos dio,
Levántate de mañana, mira que ya amaneció.

My thoughts after reading the beginning...

I think that she has everything she wants, she has money and love. I know that she doesn't want to leave El Rancho de las Rosas. She is happy living there. But there will be some reasons why she has to leave El Rancho de las Rosas.

Predictions

I think Esperanza will have a new life. She will have different experiences. On the front cover it has a girl with two flowers. She is flying in the wind. The wind is carrying her to a new life and a new place. She is leaving all stuff and old memories.
