Main Character: Esperanza, Mamacita, Rachel, E's dad
This chapter talks about a big fat lady who moves in across the street. She comes from a spanish speaking country (most likely Mexico). She brings her son. She doesn't speak english. she stays in her room all the time and no one knows why. Some say its because she is fat, some say its because of 3 flights of stairs. Esperanza says its because she doesn't speak english. She sings in her room and doesnt let her son listen to the english radio. She is obviously homesick.
figurative language
e.g. 1 The taxi door opened like a waiter's arm
e.g. 2 Out stepped a tiny pink shoe, a foot as soft as a rabbit's foot.
