This chapter finally describes Esperanza's dream home. It is neither an apartment nor a man's house, but rather a "house all my own" which fulfills Esperanza's personal needs and dreams. She would fill this house with the special things she likes: flowers and pillows on the porch, books and stories. She would relish the solitude and independence; she longs to live in a pristine world, as evidenced by her dreams of "quiet as snow" and "clean as paper."
