where esperanza will go from here

Esperanza has been saved from a dark future on Mango Street and because she was different from the other girls in some ways she was the one who made it though the book without many tragedies and painful scars, unlike sally, or Minerva. She was considered lucky. It was prophecy that she would be the one to escape the bad life that everyone else suffered particularly the woman suffer. The pregnancy, the abuse and unsuccessfulness that plagued Mango Street skipped over her. Yet she felt bad because of what happened to sally and the others as we could tell. This was evident when she had wished to escape then afterward thought “…I felt ashamed for having made such a selfish wish”(pg. 105). This particularly shows how the misfortune of women in Mango Street is a cycle that most women there go through, its as if they are entitled to it.

However her future unlike the others is bright. From reading in her prospective it is easy to tell she is very intelligent and observant. She may move on to have a great job. Since her view on men is probably pretty bad she may not get married or have children but she would defiantly support her family if they needed it. She may even end up influencing the young woman on ways to avoid getting beaten and harmed around Mango Street as she has managed to stay out of trouble herself. She could even become a role model for them. She is smart and she knows right from wrong for the most part. Her parents encouraged her as well to grow up and not quit school or anything but to keep enduring life so that she wouldn’t have to live the home life like the rest of them “Esperanza you go to school. Study hard,” (pg 91). So she could be the type of person who helps others in that situation. She is just the type to do it as well because she didn’t necessarily have all the money in the world all she had was her house on Mango Street her family and a few dear belongings. Over all her life would’ve been the hardest out of all of the women though because she will be the one to go out in the real world, past the hurt, past the ignored cries, and far, far past Mango Street.
