Reading text: my name
In English, my name means hope. In Spanish, it has too many letters. It can also mean sadness. It is like the number nine and a colour that looks like mud. It reminds me of the Mexican music my father plays on Sunday mornings while shaving. The songs sound like crying. My great-grandmother had the same name as me. She was a strong woman, just like me. We were both born in the Chinese year of the horse. I wish I could have known my great-grandmother. She was so wild that she never wanted to marry. But my great-grandfather changed her mind. He put a bag over her head and took her away, as if she were a beautiful flower. That's how he did it. According to the story, my great-grandmother never forgave him. She spent her whole life looking out the window, like many women who carry their grief on their elbow. I wonder if she made the best of what she had or regretted her life. My name is Esperanza. I got it from my great-grandmother. But I don't want to inherit her place at the window. At school, they pronounce my name in a funny way. But in Spanish, my name sounds softer, like silver. It is not as long and thick as my sister's name, Magdalena, which I like less than mine. Magdalena can come home and be called Nenny. But I am always Esperanza. I would like to give myself a new name, one that reflects the real me, the part of me no one sees. Maybe I could be called Lisandra or Maritza, or even Zeze the X. Yes, something like Zeze the X would be perfect.(The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.)

Slide 16 - Slide

What does Esperanza think about her name?

Slide 17 - Open question

Do you agree?
This text shows that Esperanza is a sensitive person. She reflects on her name and how it makes her feel, noticing its different meanings in English and Spanish. The mix of hope and sadness in her name reflects her mixed feelings as she tries to understand her identity.
