Our Good Day
Key Characters: Esperanza, Rachel and Lucy
Summary: Ezperanza is approached by two girls who ask her for five dollars. Cathy tells Esperanza that their names are Rachel and Lucy. Lucy tells Esperanza that if she gives then five dollars, they will be her friend forever. Esperanza only has one friend, Cathy, so she decides to give them the five dollars since Cathy is only her friend until Tuesday. Rachel tells Esperanza that the money is for a bike. They already have ten dollars and they only need five more. Esperanza only has one friend and she doesnt have a bike so she decides to give them the money. She takes three of her own dollars and two of Nenny's. The girls decide that they will all share the bike and everyone can have it for a full day. Since the bike is new they all get to ride it on the first day. Lucy and Rachel can't decide who gets to ride it first, so the three girls all ride the bike at the same time. They ride the bike around the neighborhood for everyone too see.
Figurative Language: "Can't you see they smell like a broom?" p. 14. This is a simile comparing the way Rachel and Lucy smell to the way a broom smells.
Question: Why does Esperanza lave Cathy for Rachel and Lucy?

Esperanza leaves Cathy for Rachell and Lucy because Cathy is only going to be her friend untill tuesday, which means she is moving.

I think that Esperanza left Cathy for Rachel and Lucy because Cathy was only her friend till tuesday, and if she left Cathy, she would have 2 friends and a bike.
she left rachel becuase she knew that she would only be friends with her till she moved and that she would be friends with the other girls for a long time becuase they werent going to go any where
