House

To me, the outside of my house is important. I think it can show how your family is like in many different ways. If you want to make a good first impression, the outside of your house can determine that. So far in the story our class is reading (__The House On Mango Street)__ Esperanza doesn't live in a very good neighborhood. She travels a lot but each "house" or place she goes to isn't very nice, it isn't a home. She wants a real house with stairs (not hallway stairs) and running water and pipes...that actually work. I think Esperanza's family is very poor, they are always moving into places that you can't call a home. Esperanza, I feel, is very sad all the time, she wants things she can't have. I think she likes to imagine though, imagine what it would feel like to live a wonderful life. The outside of my house can determine my families personality because I feel like it is very bright. It shows that we enjoy life and like to have fun in out spare time. Believe it or not, I think the ouside of a house can say a lot about a person(s).
