Rape as Drama

comment
Rape as Drama: Implied. Esperanza is very clearly assaulted at a carnival by some random man, but it's never stated how far it goes. The reader knows that there was some very forceful kissing, but Esperanza doesn't elaborate. Was it too horrific? Did she block it from her memory? We don't know.

Title Drop: A vignette title is repeated in the story. "The House on Mango Street" (which is actually a double Title Drop, given that it's the book's title).

Book Ends: Part of the first vignette appears in the final vignette, Mango Says Goodbye Sometimes. And yes, the part that's repeated ends after the comma:

Wrong Side of the Tracks: Esperanza and her family live in the Latino part of Chicago, where most families are poor. She derisively describes how white people who go there are scared of her neighborhood, and she also says that it's scary for her people to go into a wealthy neighborhood.
