Esperanza Rising Notes

They lived in Aguascalientes, Mexico

Esperanza was an only child

She pricks her thumb and it doesn’t stop bleeding She says it’s bad luck

Abuelita was well respected in their house everyone would scramble to make her comfortable

They lived on a big farm with lots of land and servants

Papa’s brothers were important but (They held their chins too high)

Papa died

Her uncle was the mayor and the other was a banker

After she heard the news she couldn’t stop thinking about her father

Mama fainted when she sees papas dead body
