Chapter 17


Chapter 17 stood out to me the most.  Esperanza is the main charter in this chapter. It stood out to me how she approaches Jonathan and how she starts telling him things about her life.  It was also surprising how she remembered that they have met before.  A passage that stood out to me from the chapter was when Jonathan says “Sometimes a window like this opens briefly. Then it closes and you wish that it would open up once more but also wonder why it opened up the first time.”  I highlighted this just because it had me thinking about why she talked to him and opened up only once. I think that this shows that Esperanza is mysterious and has a lot of emotions.

  1. Esperenza stood out to me also. Espernza is very mysterious i think too because shes so quiet but then tells Kozol alot of personal things.

  2. I think that Kozol is worried about her step-father and he might play a role in here Emotions

  3. I like that passage too. Esperranza is mysterious in her own way.

  4. I really like that quote. I think it gives a good picture of how Jonathan feels when all of these children open up to him one day, and the next day they pretend like it never happened.

  5. I thought it was kind of weird that she was making pancakes when she was that young, and that she only made 2, suggesting she doesn't make any for herself, just her step father.
