How old do you think the narrator is? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
- Ask the class how old they think the narrator is, and why they think so; you’ll probably get a number of answers, but it will be interesting to see if anyone points out the narrator’s assumption, at the end of paragraph 5, that, like the children, her parents have to share a bedroom because the house is too small for them to have their own rooms. Also, when she says that the “house on Mango Street is ours, and we don’t have to pay rent to anybody,” she seems to think that her parents have bought it outright, the way one would buy food or clothing; in all likelihood, if they have bought the house, they almost certainly have taken out a mortgage and may in fact be paying even more per month than they did on the rent.
