A Letter

Great Job on your first question Fifth graders!!  You have shown that you have some connection to the characters, events and one another.  Keep up the good work

Here is your next question:

Imagine you could write a letter to Esperanza.  What would you want to say to her?  What would you want to ask her?  Make sure you include the reasoning behind the questions and statements you have for Esperanza.  

















Make your questions MEANINGFUL.  For example, ask her more about choices and decisions she made(or ones you think she should have made) rather than something very general (favorite food, favorite color).

PLEASE RESPOND TO ONE ANOTHER by clicking the Reply link underneath a classmate's response.  It is important that you interact with one another and not just post your own response.

    1. I disagree with the comment that you made "If it was me I would do or act like nothing", because Esperanza cares about her family and I do too. I would always try to help my family to the best of my abilities.

  2. If I was to write a letter to Esperanza I would say what difficulties she has for example paying the doctor bills so mama could feel better and leave the hospital. Esperanza kept money for Abulita's travel to America.She also work double jobs for example babysitting and working in the field so she can help her family and have a better life.

  3. If i was able to write a letter to esperanza i would ask esperanza how does it feel to go from the top social class to the very bottom or as she would say from rich to rags in alittle bit of months.I would tell her how sorry i am to see everything get ruined so quickly. Her father died, her house burned down, she had to move to calafornia and her mother got sick so fast.

  6. If I was to ask Esperanza a quiestion, I would ask her what emotions did she have deep inside that was never shown. I would ask her that because it is not every day your mother gets diognoused with an illness. I would say to Esperanza that she has been so brave. Esperanza never gave up through papa's death, mama's sickness, the house burning down, and Abuelita bieng away from her fo at least 10 months.
