This Chapter on the outside seems like just a chapter about four Trees that are Alone. But if you look at this chapter Metaphoricaly, you see that the just like the trees are skinny tall and alone, Esperanza Feels the same. "from our room you can hear them, but Nenny just sleeps and doesnt appreciate these things" (pg. 74) the bold words explain how Esperanza feels just like these trees, you can see and hear them. but no one really cares about them. The more you read this book, you understand that Esperanza feels like no one truly cares about her.
Figurative language: "Nenny just sleeps and doesnt appreciate things"
What other symbolism do you see in this chapter?

The other symbolism that I see in this chapter is how Esperanza talks about the trees roots going stong foundation underneath her and how she is strong but nobody can see it.
The other symbolism in the chapter is that she is explaining how Esperanza feels that the tree's are the other ones that understand her, that she can talk to them and she describes how they are alike with their apperence.

I kinda haven't read this chapter yet but from the summary, it sounds as if Epsperanza feels like one of the trees. Hows they can be heard and seen, but they hardly get any appreciation. Maybe the other trees represent her friends who are similar to her in a way, but her sister Nenny is not one of them.
