My Name
In this story Esperanza talks about her she longing to have another name. The name she has now means hope and was her grandmothers name. But her grandmother lived a life of sadness and waiting, Esperanza wants to rid herself of this name because she hopes to have a future of her own. I feel Esperanza's wanting of a different name, for the longest time i hated my middle name but i have embraced it and have come of like i. Esperanza is a girl who just wants a life of her own and wants to leave the pain her grandmother went through in the past, and I respect that and find it very interesting.
Laughter
In this story Esperanza talks about her connection with her sister and how their laugh and sense of humor is the same. Sisters share a truly special bond, but it varies among sisters. My younger sister and I both find the same things funny and sometimes it seems that we almost share the same brain. But, my older sister and I have a stronger connection and a better understanding of eachother. I find this story very interesting especially the part when Esperanza mentions how you can instantly tell that Rachel and Lucy are sisters. But, Esperanza and Nenny not so much you need to know them before you can make any judgements. This plays into the don't judge a book by it's cover sort of deal.

i agree with what you said about how sisters share a bond. although i dont have a sister, i see sisters and see how they are similar and get along. yet some are so different. i also agree that the story was very interesting because of how even though the house looking like mexico was so completely random, nenny and esperanza both thought that.
