Importance of the Monkey Garden in The House on Mango Street :: House Mango Street

Importance of the toy Garden in The House on Mango Street   Life as a befool is effortless, where the only motive is to have fun. Some people never want to have responsibility and complexity that comes with being an adult as they realize they must progress to accountability sometime. Likewise in The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Esperanza tries her best to avoid is renegade against the radiation pattern expectations of women on Mango Street. Esperanzas only way to avoid having to become part of the adult world around her, is by entering The Monkey Garden where she gets to be a kid. Esperanzas depiction of the serene and carefree descriptions of the garden contrast the confused and disturbed attitude Esperanza has towards Sally and the boys game. As she finally realizes she cannot remain a kid forever, Esperanza feel alienated and alone.   Esperanzas overwhelmed tone reveals her fear and doggedness to adversity when sallys game defiles the gardens innocence/purity, exposing Esperanza to the realization that she cannot remain a kid forever.   Esperanzas syntax reveals that innocence is irrevocable. Reminiscing of the Monkey Garden Esperanza supposes, the reason why they went there was because it was Far forth from where their mothers could find themCisneros (95). In the garden the kids were able to play without any adults around. The garden became a mystify of rejuvenation for Esperanza, where only kids were allowed and the horrors of the adult world remain unnoticed. Esperanza observes, Things had a way of disappearing in the garden, as if the garden itself ate them, or, as if with its one-time(a)-man memory, it put them away and forgot them.(95). This shows that the garden was a place where things easily went unnoticed and it was not uncommon to loose things. For Esperanza, this represents the place where she is forced into her loss of childhood, and comparing this to a forgetful old man makes sense sinc e when people mature they loose their innocence and childlike attributes. When the boys stole Sallys keys they were all laughing and Sally was too however, It was a joke Esperanza didnt get(96). The boys take advantage of Sally by stealing her keys so Sally seizes the opportunity to be able to flirt back with them.
