    The text discusses Esperanza's papa teaching her to care for the earth and wait patiently for rewards. It also introduces Esperanza, her family, and their life in Mexico in 1924.

    When Esperanza found out that her papa had died, her heart dropped and she cried in disbelief.

    If Mama had been able to own Papa's land, she wouldn't have to deal with Tio Luis asking her to marry him or worry about him doing something bad to change her mind about marrying him, since the land is what he wants.

    1924

    Esperanzas papa taught Esperanza that the Earth is alive


    so you have to take care of it and treat it well.
    Aguantate tantito y la fruta caer en tu mano, Wait a little while
    and the fruit will fall into your hand.

    Las Uvas
    Harvest year is Esperanzas favorite year because when the picking
    is done it will be Esperanzas birthday.
    When Esperanza was picking out a red bloom a thorn pricked her
    finger which meant bad luck.
    When Esperanza found out that Papa died her heart dropped. Then
    when she tried to talk it turned into a cry and she was in disbelief.

    Las Papayas
    When Esperanzas papa had died he handed his land to Tio Luis
    since it is not customary to leave land to a women.
    Miguel is Hortensias, the housekeeper, son and he also Alfonsos
    son.
    If Mama had been able to own Papas land it would be a whole
    different story because she wouldnt have to deal with Tio Luis
    asking her to marry him. Also she wouldnt have to regret or worry
    about Tio Luis doing something bad to her to change her mind
    about marrying him.

    Los Higos
    I think that Tio Luis set Esperanzas house on fire because he said
    that Mama would regret her decision so his threat meant putting her
    house on fire.
    Abuelita is staying behind in Mexico because, due to the fire she
    injured her ankle and she has to wait to go to the USA so her ankle
    can heal.
    The zigzags on Abuelitas blanket meant that even though
    Esperanzas life has been pretty tough with her house burning down
    and her dad dying. Its going to be alright especially when she gets a
    new start in the United States. When Abuelita said that she is at the
    bottom of the valley, since she is having a tough time and soon she
    will be at the top of the mountain again when she moves to the U.S.
