In the vignette "Alicia and I Talking on Edna's Steps," Esperanza says that she will
never come back to Mango Street until "somebody makes it better." What does
Alicia's response to Esperanza imply?
If Esperanza thinks Mango Street should be better, then she should find a way to
help the community and make it a better place.
Esperanza will probably never visit Mango Street again after she leaves because
it's never going to get better.
Esperanza should reach out to the mayor if she wants Mango Street to change in
a positive way.
If Esperanza is going to leave, she shouldn't worry about the conditions on
Mango Street when she is gone because this won't be her problem anymore.
