boys and girls

Main characters: Esperanza
Summary: tells how in the neighborhood boys and girls don’t talk to each other. Even though in her house Esperanza talks to her brothers but outside the house they will ignore her so she must talk to her younger sister Nenny but she is too young to be her friend. Esperanza cant wait to have a best friend.
metaphor: until then i am a red balloon,a balloon tied to an anchor
Questions: when esperanza says "i am a red balloon" what do you think this means

I think Esporanza is saying she is a person that wants to get away from mango street. she says she is red because the house is red.

I think the color of the balloon is red because she feels embarrassed.

Maybe it is her favorite color, or describes energy or beauty? -Mitch Bear

Ok. Well I really dont think the color matters. But it is probly red because red is a color that stands out from all the colors, so maybe she is saying that she stands out from the rest.-Chris Hollovary

because she is angry that her sister is her only friend and shes so young. So she doesn't feel her sister can be her best friend.
Which means she doesn't have one.

I think that the color is red because thats a color that stands out and she just wants to be free.

I think that she compares herself to a RED balloon because its a bright color and it aticks out and that's how she feels about herself that she sticks out in a crowd.
