House on Mango Street: Chapeter Summary for, There Was an Old Women She had so Many Children She Didn't Know What To Do
In this chapter you learn of Rosa Varga and her out of controll children. Rosa is a single mother who has been left by her husband with an abundant number of children that she has little controll of. Her children run wild wherever they may go and have little respect for all things living including themselves. Over time people learn that these children are not controlled and stop caring if they put them selves in harmfull situations such as when Eferen chipped his tooth on a parking meter or when Refugia got her head stuck between two slats in the back gate. The situations they get into get worse and worse until one day Angel Varga " learned to fly and dropped from the sky like a suger donut, just like a falling star, and exploded down to earth without even an oh.

In this chapter, the childrens behavior causes them to be the troublesome kids in the town, they are looked at badly and they get hurt. One even dies because they cannot controll themselves and no one cares to help them because they bring it on themselves.
