Answer:
Both characters live in an economically and socially marginalized and depreciated community, which creates many problems that make life difficult for both.
Step-by-step explanation:
"The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and "The House on Mango Street" are stories that show promising and intelligent young people, limited in a community with few opportunities and where violence, social inequality and gender equality reign.
Both characters are severely affected by the environment in which they live, but it is precisely this environment that gives them both the willpower to achieve their goals and help the people in their community who suffer as much as they do.
