Esperanza's mom thinks that she could have been somebody but instead she has stayed in the same city her whole life. Her mom can speak two languages and sing and opera. She knows how to fix a T.V. but she can't figure out which subway to take to get downtown. Esperanza's mom tells Esperanza that she needs to be able to take care of herself and not rely on a man. Her mom then tells Esperanza how that when she was younger, she dropped out of school because she didn't have nice clothes. Esperanza's mom doesn't want Esperanza to be like she was. Key characters are Esperanza and her Mom.
Do you think that Esperanza will follow her mom's advice? Why or why not?

I think she is worried for having a husband because she thinks it will buy happiness. And if she dosent have one then she will be sad her whole life.
