Answer:

What does Esperanza say the Vargas kids don't have? (There Was an Old Woman) She says they don't have respect for themselves or anyone else. The similes and metaphors she uses for the meaning of her name explain the way she feels her name means. ...

She uses the words “hope, many letters, sadness, waiting, the number nine, and her fathers records he plays,” to describe Esperanza's name.

These words explain Esperanza as a depressed girl who wants something.
