Summary Through Pg. 23

So far in The House on Mango Street the narrator and main character is a girl named Esperanza. She tells about how they just moved into a new house, and how her family gets along. Her family had to move out of their old apartment because the pipes busted and the landlord would not fix it. They had to get out of there fast! Esperanza talks about how her family gets along, and how the boys don't talk to the girls outside of the house. Esperanza says she doesn't have any friends, but she met two girls they wanted to share a bike with her, and they became friends. I think this book is pretty good so far, it's somewhat confusing but I think it will get better as it goes on.
