Vignette Topic:Esperanza loses some of her innocence because she is young and unsuspecting. Tell about a time that you or someone you know felt exploited because of youth and innocence.

The isolated significance would be to explain the changes in Esperanza throughout the course of the novel.

Esperanza's experiences affect the novel as a whole. Her sense of identity influences the book as a whole.
