Esperanza's life is formed around words, and in turn, she shares her world in a way that we can all relate. The long chapter titles illuminate the people she talks about..... we come to feel we know them. In this way, Esperanza makes us feel as if we have a united interest in learning how it all works out. The language is entertaining and informative..... it keeps us reading.
