What's in YOUR name? (Symbolism and "The House on Mango Street")


As we read The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros, we discover that not only doesn't Esperanza like her name, but she feels like it doesn't suit her; and it isn't a fulfillment of her personality. Please post and share with the class the following: 
  • What is the meaning of your name?
  • What is the origin/culture of your name's meaning?
  • What are some naming traditions in your culture? 
  • Do you feel like you are a fulfillment of your name? Why, or why not? 
Remember to check back and respond to your classmates.
