Answer:

Cisneros had similar experiences to Esperanza, the protagonist, in The House on Mango Street. Cisneros too moved around from house to house. She lived in the ghetto neighborhoods of Chicago. She often found herself in small, cramped homes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandra Cisneros was born On December 20, 1954, in Chicago. Although she grew up mainly in Chicago, the family often visited her father's relatives in Mexico, and Cisneros would later say that she felt "displaced" during her childhood. In 1987, Cisneros would tell an interviewer in Texas that she had never felt a strong sense of connection to Chicago. Nevertheless, her book The House on Mango Street is set there.
