to hear her, I think that Esperanza really wants attention from Ruthie, because she is older and also more experienced in a lot of different areas, where as Esperanza is just learning about.Chapter 27-The Earl of Tennessee"Whenever she arrives, he holds her tight by the crook of the arm. They walk fast into the apartment, lock the door behind them and never stay long."I think that this quote is really sad and demeaning to women. Just how Esperanza explains that he holds her tightly by the crook of the arm sounds so overpowering. That only Earl can control his wife and she doesn't control her own life. I think that their marriage is ruined and destroyed and maybe Earl is just trying to throw it together. I think it just makes it worse though that the whole neighborhood gossips about it and shares it among their daily chat. It's really sad though, that there are so many people like that in our world, and that a lot of people have to live like that, or live around it.Chapter 28-Sire"Sire. How did you hold her? Was it? Like this? And when you kissed her? Like this?""Everything is holding its breath inside me. Everything is waiting to explode like Christmas. I want to be all new and shiny. I want to sit bad at night, a boy around my neck and the wind under my skirt."I am so glad that I have to read this book. It's actually really good. I think this chapter is really cute, because Esperanza is dreaming to see what it's like to be with a boy. Even if he's a bad one, and he's a total punk. She just wants to let loose and see how it feels to be Lois. Even if her mother tells her that Lois is not a girl she would want to be. I think that Esperanza is just going through a stage where she wants to try other things. She might be a very mature girl and want to make a lot of good decisions but maybe there is another side of her that just wants go to totally all out bad. It's weird to think that almost every girl goes through that stage. Chapter 29-Fou...
