Chanclas (pg. 46)
Esperanza sees her mom dressed in a nice new dress because there going to a distant cousins wedding. Esperanza is very embarrassed because she has a totally new outfit but still has her plain, ordinary brown shoes. She is also constantly checking her feet because of the largeness of them. While at the wedding, everyone starts to dance. Esperanza decides that she doesn't want to dance but her Uncle Nacho decides to pull her aside and talk to her letting her know that theres nothing wrong with having big feet. The key characters of this chapter, are Esperanza, Mama, and Uncle Nacho. An example of figurative language is "my feet swell big and heavy like plungers" which is a simile.
Why do you think Esperanza is so self-conscious about her big shoes when no one even noticed?

She wants to have shoes that fit, she wants to be more mature and not have clothes too big or too small-Mitch Bear
She is so self concious because she has no self esteem. she has never been very important in her family, so she has this mind set of not being important and being worthless.

I think that Esperanza care about what everyone thinks. She is always self-concious about her self and she always cares what people think about her. So really its not the fact that she has big feet or not, its just that Esperanza thinks thats if something is not perfect then it must be horriable.-Chris Hollovary
Well i belive she is self conscious because she isnt sure no one notices, maybe people talk about it behind her back.

She is embarrised that she has to wear her big ugly brown shoes. She is also self concious that she has to where the big brown shoes. She also shoudnt care about what other people think about the shoes because they probly dont even notice her shoes.
