In Chapter Three, Miguel becomes a more important character. He begins to take a more prominent role as the possible hero, as he is shown helping Abuelita, becoming more caring towards Esperanza, and leading the way from the ranch. For the first time, Esperanza is shown to be somewhat spoiled, and assumes they will have a beautiful new home in California. Esperanza's naivety is shown when she states that even she might help on the farms once they reach the United States. This creates a new twist to her previously near perfect character, and the reader sees in more detail how difficult the trip and change in her life will be for her.
