Why does Esperanza point to the wrong house when the nun asks where she lives in A House on Mango Street?
On pg. 1, Cisneros includes a remark about Esperanza's house made by one of the nuns. She echoes that comment on pg. 45 when Sister Superior has Esperanza point out her house, and Sister says, "that one?" Why does Sister point to the wrong house, and why does Esperanza nod, 'yes"? Why does Cisneros echo her original comment?
