What's next for Esperanza?

Author: Billy Lau // Category:
        "The House on Mango Street", by Cisneros is a book response of her life coming back to Mango Street. All of these vignettes are her stories of what happened in the past. Now, Esperanza has to return back to Mango street for the ones she left behind.   I predict that she will help the other women in her neighborhood do what she did. In the last vignettes, Esperanza meets strangers who have magic powers that can make wishes come true and can see the future. These strangers grant her a wish. Esperanza's wish was her ultimate dream of leaving Mango Street. The stranger's response was...
    When you leave you must remember always to come back, she said."pg 104.
Esperanza promises in a way that she will return back to Mango Street. Even though she is very reluctant of coming back  
"You live right here, 4006 Mango, Alicia says and points to the house I am ashamed of. No, this isn't my house i say... I don't belong."pg 106
Esperanza wants to leave and never come back. She does not feel so welcomed in her own house. In the future, I think she will come back to Mango street, and live by herself privately. She will live without society telling her that boys are the more superior ones.  When she comes back, She wants to live in a different street than Mango street so that she can show her neighbors that she is not trapped in society's expectations. She will influence her peers like this. Everyone will see that she came back free and they will follow her lead and break out of the world's web. 
      In conclusion, Esperanza is going to keep her promise to the strangers even though she is ashamed of her house. However, she will influence her peers and neighbors when she comes back and help them find a way to spring out and undo the world's expectations. She'll be there for all of her friends and teach them how to get out of Mango street and to chase their dreams. We will not know how her rest of her years will be because her future is left for us to choose.
