The House on Mango Street Why does Chapter 2 include a list of people in the neighborhood? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 29 Jan 16:12
Listing the people in the neighborhood are a way of introducing the setting that Esperanza finds herself in. People are also a way of defining who 'you' are. In Esperanza's case she also sees who and what she does NOT want to become.
