Cathy Queen of Cats
Key Characters: Cathy and Esperanza (narrator)
Summary: Esperanza is talking to Cathy, one of her neighbors. Cathy is telling Esperanza about the people on Mango Street. Esperanza learns who to hang out with and who not too. Cathy also tells Esperanza that she will be her friend, but only until next Tuesday, because Cathy, who has a ton of cats, is moving away on Tuesday because the neighborhood is getting bad. She is going to find her great great distance grand cousin.
Figurative Language: "Two girls raggedy as rats live across the street." p. 12 This is a simile comparing the way the girls look to the way a rat looks.
Question: Why does Esperanza get offended when Cathy says, the neighborhood is getting bad?

Esperanza gets offended because she just moved to Mango Street and also doesnt like the people that live there.
she gets offended because its mostly kids who are around her age and cathy is stereo typing the community.
