In The House on Mango Street, Esperanza, a Chicano growing up in Chicago struggles to find her identity through the history of her name, the stereotypical influence from other women on Mango Street, and her literary voice.

5 My Name, Esperanza says: " At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth. But in Spanish my name is made out of a softer something, like silver, not quite as thick as sister's name Magdalena--which is uglier than mine. Magdalena who at least- -can come home and become Nenny. But I am always Esperanza..
