Part A What is a theme of The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros?

If one is willing to make the effort, anywhere can feel like home.

One can learn valuable lessons from the experiences of others.

Concealing one’s feelings obscures the human turmoil one experiences.

Humiliation can lead to a loss of control and anguish.
Question 2
Part B

Which detail from the novella best develops the theme identified in Part A?

“I want to be all new and shiny. I want to sit out bad at night, a boy around my neck and the wind under my skirt.”

“The kids bend trees and bounce between cars and dangle upside down from knees….They are without respect for all things living, including themselves.”

“One day I’ll own my own house, but I won’t forget who I am or where I came from. Passing bums will ask, Can I come in? I’ll offer them the attic, ask them to stay, because I know how it is to be without a house.”

“That one? She said, pointing to a row of ugly three-flats, the ones even the raggedy men are ashamed to go into. Yes, I nodded even though I knew that wasn’t my house and started to cry.”

the rhetorical technique most used in this excerpt is parallelism. parallelism is a technique which author used in sentence as substitute of repeated synthetical similarities. it is the effect of rhetorical technique.
