Conversation with Mama

Mama just got out of the hospital and it has been a very long time since Esperanza has seen her.  Esperanza has a lot to tell Mama about what has happened over the last five months.  What would you choose to tell Mama about first?  Write from the perspective of Esperanza.

  1. If I was Esperanza I would tell Mama about me and Miguel was having a argument and that it was my fault that Miguel was gone and that Isabel was not the Queen of May so that is what I will tell Mama.

  5. If I was Esperanza and Mama was just getting out of the hospital I would tell her that I have been working in the sheds packing asparagus and sorting out peaches. I would also tell Mama about how I have been getting money orders so I could eventually send enough money to Abuelita so she could come to America and be with us. Another thing I could tell Mama is that the roses are starting to bloom.

  6. If I was Esperanza because Mama was gone for 5 months I would tell her first that Miguel went gone with your money. Another thing I would tell her is I would ask her how does she feel. My final reason is tell Mma about my doll is dusty it has been sitting under the my bed the whole time.

  9. I” would tell Mama, after 5 months men came from North Carolina,and they said they will charge less for work then Miguel the job said either dig holes or leave he digged holes and still got paid but not as much”. Esperanza yelled at him because she wanted him to talk to them and see if he could still work for the same amount of money but he said that’s like stricken so she picked an argument and also she didn’t tell Mama, about Isabell, not winning the princess.

  10. If I was Esperanza and my mama just got back from the hospital the first thing I would tell mama is that me and Miguel were arguing then he left. I would also tell her that I got used to taking care of the babies and I worked in the shed, Isabella didn’t get queen of the May, and I would tell mama about all the money I was saving and Miguel was probably the only one that looks like he took her money because he left to go look for a job at the railroad and her money was all gone.That’s what I would’ve told mama if I was Esperanza.

  13. If I was Esperanza I would have told Mama that “Isabel did not make it for the Queen of May”. Then I would tell her (Mama) that “Miguel and I got into an argument and he ran off”. Then another thing I would tell her is that I did good with the babies and I took care of the house. Last but not least I would tell her “I love you and missed you” “oh wait one more thing” “I esperanza (hope) this will never happen again”

  15. If I was Esperanza Talking to Mama I would talk about the Queen of May then I would talk about the conversation about her and Miguel. I will tell her about the strikes. And I would talk about when is Abuelita coming back and how can we get her to come here. My last thing I would talk about is how would the money orders just disappear.

  17. Mama I think I drove Miguel away we got into a big argument I said “are you on the other side of the river now no you are still a peasant” I feel really bad. But also Isabel wanted to be queen at her school so badly she prayed every day she had straight grades although her teacher did not pick her cause she picks the girls with blond hair blue eyes. And finally the California folk get pools we are allowed to swim on Fridays right before it's cleaned.

  18. I would tell her first that Miguel is gone and all the people that were on the camp were striking. I would tell Mama that I have been taking care of the babies, dishes, and the whole house. Most importantly cooking food for us. We are so grateful to have mama here. Stocking School

  19. When Esperanza was at the hospital talking to mamma and what Esperanza said was she was going to tell everything that happened when she was gone for 5 months. Then when mamma got back she didn’t tell her everything that happened, but the only thing she told her what happened was Miguel left. Also Esperanza said she going to tell her everything but what she didn't tell mamma that Isabel didn't be queen of the may and that she gave her porcelain doll to Isabel, and that's what Esperanza didn't tell mamma.

  20. Mama when you were at the hosptale we went to Disneyland and we got you a snow globe. When you were gone for 5 months we got you a donkey so you don't be lonely. Hey mama we got you a new car so you don't have to walk again. We got you a new house for you mama so you can put all of your stuff. Mama we got you tickets to see Grand Rapids drive vs the bulls, lets who wins. We got you tickets to mexico to see grandma because she got's a new apartment. Mama Mama we got you a new couch so you can relax and sleep. Mama we made you a poster of you and we made dinner for you because maybe your hungry.

    1. Bryan g can you make your question make sense because i can't understand it because in the story it said nothing about Disneyland or a snowglobe or a new car or tikets to Grandrapids vs the bulls in the story so you need to reread your question please.

  21. If I was Esperanza I would tell Mama that at Isabel’s school they pick a girl in their class to be queen of may and they base it on grades. They did not pick her only because she is Mexican even though she has straight A’s. They always find a way to pick blondes with blue eyes.

  22. “Mama I have so much to tell you about what happened over the past 5 months Miguel and I got into an argument over his job because people from Oklahoma came said that they would take half of the money that they were paying the people that were already there and they told Miguel to go dig ditches”. ” I learned a lot of things while you were gone I learned how to take care of the babies and how to cook I also learned how to take care of myself and gave the doll that papa gave me to I gave it to Isabelle ”.

  24. When mama gets out first would say “ Mama Miguel was gone and it was my fault because we argued about that there was no hope ……….and strikers were taken to Mexico and i found her in the back room hiding behind a crate when I was getting more rubber bands and I helped her get out so she can be with her mom………. Isabel want to be queen of the may but she didn’t win and she thought she would be it queen because she got good grades but her teacher said it was not just about grades. So i gave her the doll papa gave me also i didn’t really need it.
