Many of us have read the book "A house on the mango street."I made a poem which gives an exact summary of what the story of " A house on the mango street " is all about. Actually this was a project of one of the additional course I am doing so I hope you like it.[ plzz do coment]

A house on the mango street

We bought a new house,
Our situation here is like, in storm a homeless mouse.

The house is on the mango street,
Where  life of a female  is like a poor country being attacked by a thousand soldier’s fleet.
Where ladies are ranked below animals feet.
Where Women are tortured and abused,
Told they are nothing and will always be used.
Where Life of a woman is crippled,
And her joys are nibbled.

I  Esperanza, want to fly to a place away from Mango Street,
Because life here is as hard as breaking concrete.

I want to float my boat away from Mango Street,
Because to my lost joy,
I need to meet.

I want to escape from Mango Street,
Because I no more can sit near the devils seat.
But my 3 spiritual sisters say;
Let the houses in the mango street turn over a new leaf.

I have realized,
For the sake of humanity, I need to fight,
I will work day and night,
To make mango street a place where,

Women can happily survive,
