"Isabel, I will tell you all about how I used to live. About parties and private school and beautiful dresses. I will even show you the beautiful doll my papa bought me, if you will teach me how to pin diapers, how to wash, and . . ."
Isabel interrupted her. "But that is so easy!"
Esperanza stood up and carefully practiced with the broom. "It is not easy for me."
How does this excerpt show that Esperanza has changed?
She describes her old life of comfort and nice things, then she shows a willingness to learn to work.
She is learning to use a broom, but she is very sad to have to work instead of going to parties.
She used to think Isabel was a good friend, but now she is irritated by her interruptions.
She once thought cleaning was difficult, but now she thinks sweeping and laundry are easy.
