In the book, Esperanza said she moved a lot. But I've moved just once when I was 4 years old. Because I was so small, I remember almost nothing. Also, I grow up with same friends since we were in kindergarten.
Talking about family, I don't have a big family like her. I live with my mom, dad and an older sister. Although Esperanza had some troubles landlord, I don't have any troubles with a caretaker of my apartment. However, I sometimes have some troubles with my neighbours. For example, people living downstairs start to pray with pretty loud voice at about 10 or 11pm. It's really annoying... Anyways. My house is fine to live.
Finally, talk about Esperanza's characteristics and mine. Even though she is wise and realistic, I'm not so wise like her and I'm not realistic at all. I think I'm always dreaming like "what if...?" or "It' would be fun or interesting if..." like that. I'm thinking I have to face the reality more though...
About struggling with life, I used to be trapped in my situation like Esperanza when I was in high school. But it disappeared somehow after I came back from my exchange student's life.
I also feel people don't understand me however, I don't want to care much about it.
In conclusion, my situations are pretty much different from Esperanza's.
Who prays at 11 p.m. Are there Muslims living beneath your place? Good luck with the reality situation...I guess it's really going to hit you in about 18 months.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they are not Muslims because they pray in Japanese Buddism style.
DeleteI really don't want the reality to hit me, arrrr. But I'll face it. :)
I was surprised about people who pray at 11pm. I think this is very annoying, too. Why don't you bang on the floor with a bloom?
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard them pray, I shouted and bang the floor with my hands, but didn't work. hahaha I gave up.
DeleteI wasn't realistic at all, neither.
ReplyDeleteEsperanza is so wise girl:D
