Chapter: #23... Born Bad...
Esperanza believes that she is going to hell. Her mom tells her she was born on an evil day, and what day that is I do not know. But her mom prays for her, her sisters pray for her, and she even prays for herself. She believes that people are born destined to go bad, but only certain people. Her aunt is sick and she has some disgusting disease where she has trouble doing anything. And her house isn’t being taken care of and things are getting clean and her house smells aweful. So she starts to believe that sickness picks its victims randomly and without mercy. And she thinks she’s even more destined to go to hell because of what she did to her aunt. Her and her sisters play a game where they act like someone else and everyone else has to guess. And she acted like her aunt, pretending like she was sick, walking around with a hunched back, coughing. And it was down right rude.
