The House on Mango Street is autobiographical, although it is not a complete autobiography. Esperanza Cordero's experiences are based on the people and places that Sandra Cisneros knew as a child. She includes character descriptions of the important people in her life, vivid descriptions of the places she lived, and she offers insight into her own reactions, thoughts, and feelings.
Your assignment is to write an autobiographical essay similar to chapter one of the novel that details your own "home" history, the accompanying feelings, and whether or not where you currently live feels like "home."
Remember to proofread your work. 20 pts.
