The House on Mango StreetRead pages 56-88Draw a map of at least 5 places on Mango Street:

character’s houses, apartments, stores, etc. You may also add other significant features of the neighborhood like pets, objects, trees, etc.

Select one quotation from the novel for each building or feature of the street and copy it onto your map in a physically or symbolically appropriate location. (For example if I were talking about Esperanza’s house, I might write the quotation “It’s small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you’d think they were holding their breath” (4) on the windows of the house.)
