mangos for all numero uno
I'm about 40 pages in and I really can't understand this author's style of writing and the way the book is narrated. It tells the tale of a young girl named Esperanza who lives in what seems to be a slum, or at least a very harsh neighborhood. She tells many different random stories, that do not seem to have anything to do with one another. I guess I can see some significance where Esperanza is talking about how she doesn't like her own hair, and prefers her mother's and her sisters. I can't really tell exactly what it means yet, but I guess it could turn out to be important. The rest of the stories are ridiculously detailed, and yet tell absolutely nothing. It seems like the story has no real plot, and the characters are kind of dull. There is no flow or connection between each of the stories. I'm looking for some big boy inspiration to help understand this one..

YO DROZE.
ReplyDeletei felt the same way you felt after 40 pages, after i read the entire book. I still did not understand the author's writing style and I found it hard to string together the group of stories. I mean honestly there weren't even quotes around lines that people were saying so it was hard for me to just depict which lines were narrative and which were actually being said by characters.
Thankfully, we are on to the next book.
PEACE DROZE
