In Chapter Two, while the adults discuss the state of affairs, Esperanza slips out to the rose garden. Miguel joins her and they sit together, admiring the rose bushes Papa planted for each of them years before. Miguel tells Esperanza that his family is planning to move to the United States as soon as they are no longer needed by Esperanza’s family. Esperanza shifts away in surprise and Miguel repeats Esperanza’s past words to her: in Mexico, they come from different worlds. From this we can infer that Miguel and Esperanza are close friends, but that their places in the world are very different. Miguel's family works for her own, thus, their friendship has limitations.
