B.P.

Carthy Queen of Cats
In this chapter Esperanza meets Cathy. She claims to be the great great grand cousin of the Queen of France. She explains to Esperanze the people who live on Mango street. She tells Esperanza to keep away from the two girls across the street because they are raggedy as rats. Esperanza becomes friends with Cathy but only until next Tuesday, because that is when Cathy is moving, because the neighborhood is going bad. Major characters are Cathy and Esperanza.
Our Good Day
Esperanza talks to the two girls across the street, while Cathy is telling her not to. The two girls ask Esperanza for five dollars, Esperanza asks them to wait a minute and goes to her room to get the money. They buy the bike from Tito, the boy who was selling it. The two girls tell Esperanza their names are Lucy and Rachel. They come up with an agreement on who gets the bike when and can’t decide who gets to ride the bike first, so they decide to ride it together. Lucy is using the pedals, Esperanza is on the seat, and Rachel is on the handel bars, making the bike wobbly like the wheels are spaghetti. Major characters are Esperanza, Lucy, and Rachel.


1. Why does Cathy think the neighborhood is going bad?
2. Whan are reasons for Esperanza helping to buy the bike?

Cathy thinks that because more hispanics are moving in is bad because she is racist against hispanics. She also said that she will have to move away because she thinks that the neighberhood is bad now that there is so many hispanic people.
