What Sally Said
In this chapter Esperanza tells a story about Sally. She tells Esperanza that he doesnt hit her hard. She tells everyone its from the playground. They say that Sallys dad doesnt mean to hit her he just does it because his sisters ran away and he doesnt want her to. Then Sally went to Espy's house and her dad came over and told her it wouldnt happen again. When Sally got caught talking to a boy it did happen again.

characters- Sally is the main point in this chapter and partcially Sallys dad.

figurative language-1."He hit her with his hands just like a dog." 2."He just forgot he was her father between the buckle and the belt."

questions-1. Do you think its right for Sallys dad to hit her because she was talking to a boy? 2. Why would her dad be crying at the door?




The Monkey Garden
During this chapter Esperanza and her friends Sally and Tito and some other boys play in this place they call the monkey garden. They pretend its an imagenary place and they all run around and have fun. One time Tito took Sallys keys and the only way she could get them back was if she kissed all the boys. Sally agreed to it. Esperanza wasnt happy about it so she ran up and told Sallys mom but her mom didnt really care.

characters-The main characters in this chapter are Sally, Esperanza, and Tito and some of Tito's friends.

figurative language-1."Weeds like so many squinty eyed stars." 2. "My eyes melt into the ground like 2 black snails."

questions-1. What do you think of the Monkey Garden that the kids play in? 2. Was it right for Sallys mom not to care about the boys?

No I don't think that it's right for her dad to hit her because she is talking to a boy. I just think that he doesn't want to believe that his daughter who once was young and innocent is now growing up.

The monkey Garden sounds very imagenery and exciting.

No, I don't think it was right for Sally's mom not to not care about the boys.
