When I started reading this book, I could not quite get into it. I think it was because I have been reading so much, not the book itself. I finally started getting into it in about the middle of the book. I really enjoyed the story line and how Esperanza developed throughout the book. I felt like through the whole book she would be a stubborn girl, who would not listen to anyone. I was happily wrong. I really liked how she took everything that people said to her personally. This showed that she would learn from her mistakes and try to see the world like everyone else saw it. I really enjoyed this trait of hers. It gave the story more meaning and made it more light hearted that she was trying to learn knew things. Her kindness also shows through as well. I loved the part where she helped out Marta twice, even though she was not kind to Esperanza. The quilt that esperanza was in charge of making was a very powerful piece. It gave her the power to continue on with her life even though it seemed like everything was starting to fall apart. This book was filled with all sorts of emotions from happy to sad to even anger. When Miguel took her money and ran away with it, I was so furious. I liked him as a character throughout the whole book, until that part. However when he came with her grandmother, I was so thrilled! I really enjoyed this book after I finished it. I am glad I took the time to read it.
