Things Can Change

Esperanza's mother tells her: Esperanza, if we had stayed in Mexico and I had married Tio Luis, we could have had one choice. To be apart and miserable.  Here, we have two choices. To be together and miserable or to be together and happy.  Mija, we have each other and Abuelita will come. How would she want you to behave?  I choose to be happy. So which will you choose?" (page 104)  
How did Esperanza change after her mother said this?  What advice has a friend or family member give that has helped you?  Please explain.

  13. I think Esperanza changed after her mother said that because for one she didn't want her mom to marry Tio Luis and two because she probably didn't want to live a miserable life.

  18. People adapt to different situations by learning.They could not just adapt to it. It takes time. Esperanza couldn't do some things at first,but after a while she was learning.She learned to sweep and live whithout her papa and clean diapers.I think that would be a big change.I mean she couldn't even take a bath by herself.It would be a hard change to me to.

  19. Esperanza changed her mood and stopped being to judgmental. My big cousin told me not to be afraid on my first day of school he said just make friends and you will be alright.

  24. she changes by misunderstanding her mom because her mom said that her abuelita might come.So she misunderstood it by that her abuelita might come with their money and that they will become rich again.Also that Miguel,Alfonso,and Hortensia will work for them again. I have misunderstood my sister before and later on that week i understood want she meant.

  25. When Esperanza was with Isabel she saw a girl named Silvia and she held Esperanza's hand and it was all dirty but she didn't want to make her sad. That had happen to me with my cousin he had dirt and food on his hand but i didn't want to be rude so i held his hand when he was walking because he needed help and i was like Esperanza and Silvia

  27. People adapt differently.Esperanza didn't know how to do chores and Isabel did.She learned how to live without her papa.Esperanza thought that she was still rich but she realized that she wasn't. She realized it when her mom talked about being together and miserable or she could be happy and together.once my big sister told me to not be nervous on the first day of third grade.

  28. I think that it would be a hard change too. Esperanza needed help with lots of things she could not even sweep with a broom.
