Two pieces of Advice
What two pieces of advice does Abuelita give Esperanza? How does Esperanza respond to the advice?
I think that it was the bandits who were searching out very rich people and stealing from them or killing them to give their money to the poor because they thought that all rich people were hogging money even though many gave to the needy. I think this because there were many clues that were pointing to the fact that the bandits could have killed him, such as one of Papa's friends warning him about the bandits, and that the beef jerky in his pocket was gone.

Although the book leads us to believe that the bandits killed Papa, I would not be surprised to find out that it was really Uncle Tio and Luis. They seemed to want his life too quickly after he was gone. (Trevon, Ms. Toronto.. Campus Elementary)
One piece of advice that Abuelita gave Esperanza is that there is no rose without thorns. She did not literally mean that, and Esperanza responded by acknowledging that and knowing that she meant that there was no life without difficulties. It was on pg. 14. Another piece of advice that Abuelita gave was that you should not be afraid to start a new life. Esperanza responded by thinking about how life could still be good in California, like how she could have a beautiful house and the servants could help take care of them and that they would never have to worry about the uncles again. This was on pages 49-50.
one of the advice abulita gave Esperanza was. No roses grow without thorns.the advice abulita gave Esperanza means a beautiful person needs pain some times. the second advice was don't be afraid its important to be braze in a situation Esperanza.

I think that the 2 pieces of advice that Abuleta gave Esperanza is to finish her blanket because, she wanted her to understand that down an as you reached the top of a mountain but now you have to head back Esperanza put it would she ever escape this valley she was living in? this valley of Mam being sick.The second advice that Abuleta gave her is to look out for mama because she has your back an i want you to have hers.
The advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza was that don't be afraid to start over because when she was little Abuelita had to leave too,that was on pg 49.Another piece of advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza was that she should finish the blanket of the valleys and mountains and Abuelita said that Esperanza was at the bottom of the valley but soon,she would be at the top of the mountain.That was on pg 51.
What I think the first pieces of advice is :First Abuelita told Esperanza to finish the blanket then she said look at the zig zags on the blanket.Mountains and valleys.Right now you are in the bottom of the valley and your problems loom big around you. But soon, you will be at the top of the mountains again. After you have lived many mountains and valleys, we will be together.The second piece of the advice Abuleta gave to Esperanza is that she said ''Don't be afraid to start over''. This can be found on pages 49 and 51 in the text.
One piece of advice that Abuelita gave Esperanza is to not be afraid to start over. Abuelita told Esperanza about a time when she was smaller and she had to leave Spain with her mother father and sisters to go to Mexico. This was in the text on page 49.The other piece of advice on page 51 says that Abuelita gave the blanket to Esperanza and told her to finish the blanket that Abuelita had started.
The two pieces of advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza was when she said, "Do not be afraid to start over.Then she said,"When I was your age,I left Spain with my mother,father,and my sisters".The second piece of advice that she gave to Esperanza was when she said,"Right now you are at the bottom of the valley,soon you will make your way to the top of the mountain".
The two pieces of edvice that Abuelita gave Esperanza is when she told Esperanza that you should never "Be Afraid to Start Over".Another pices edvice that Abuelita gave Esperanza is she told her to finish the blanket then she told her that she is at the bottom of the valley soon you will rise again to the mountains.
2 pieces of advice that Abuelita told Esperanza is on pages 49 and 51.On 49 it says "Do not be afraid to start over" said Abuelita.Then on page 51 she said "look at the zigzag of the blanket."Mountains and valleys I got mountains and valleys from the book.Right now you are at the bottom of the valleys and your problems are big around you.But soon you will be on top again.
The two pieces of advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza are,"Do not be afraid to start over.When I was your age I left Spain with my mother,father,and sisters said Abuelita.The other advice is "Look at the zigzag of the blanket.Mountains and valley.Right now you are in the bottom of the valley and your problems loom big around you.But soon,you will be at the the top of a mountain again.After you have lived many mountains and valleys,we will be together."
One piece of advice that abuelita gave Esperanza is to not be afraid to start over. The other piece of advice abuelita said is to finish her blanket.And abuelita said"look at the zigzag of the blanket".The zigzag were the mountains and the lines are the Valley.Abuelita said"Right now you are in the bottom of the valley and your problems loom big around you.But soon, you will be at the top of a mountain again.After you lived many mountains and valleys,we will be together."
The 2 pieces of advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza was... Abuelita said to Esperanza"Don't be afraid to start over" and the other advice that Abuelita gave to Esperanza is when Abuelita told Esperanza to look at the zigzags on the blanket when they looked at the blanket Abuelita said that"If you look at the the blanket then you will see the mountains and valleys and you are at the bottom of the valley and soon you will be at the top".
abuelita also tells her that even though she is in the valley of her problems now but will soon be in the mountains. That means that she has a lot of problems now, but it will get better.
Abuelita's advice was that don't be afraid to start over.And also with her blanket she said the mountain top and villages so I think she meant that you go down but can go back up again.
Abuelitas advice to Esperanza was that to never give up,and to never be afraid to start over.Esperanza responded to Abuelitas advice by doing those things.
