Is this the House on Mango Street? If yes, then she learns how to create her own identity and sense of self through art and by becoming more aware of who she is and what is important to her. As she learns more about her own values and what she believes, she clarifies what is important to her about her friends. She realized that she wants out of her life on Mango street; that she feels too limited by it and that to do that, she must be more independent and less reliant on guys.

Answer:

Esperanza learns to shape an identity through self-awareness and art. She learns that in order to escape the constricted life on Mango Street she must shed her dependence on men and struggle hard for self-determination.

At the beginning of the book, Esperanza's friendships are easily formed and just as easily broken. By the end, Esperanza's friendships are based on a true commitment to improving the lives of people in her community.

Sorry if its wrong
