Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan

How does Abuelita respond to Esperanza’s uncles? Why does Abuelita call the uncles “vultures”? Use evidence from the text to explain why this is a fitting comparison to describe the uncles’ behavior.

Be sure to mark specific passages (page numbers) in the text

Abuelita is disgusted by the uncles, She calls them vultures because they are circling the inheritance in the same way vultures circle the dead.... in this case, Esperanza's papa. (page 32)
