Davin Fumich. Esperanza compares herself to trees because she feels like the trees 'understand' her.

Esperanza compares herself to the trees because shesays she is the only one that can understand them. She says she has skinny necks and elbows like them too.

Esperanza says she is the only one who understands the trees and vice versa because she acts the same way as they do.

Esperanza compares herself to the trees because she fells out of place and she think she thinks the trees are out of place. She believes that the trees understand her and she understands them.
