The House on Mango Street Playlist
Song # 1: Story
“THE HOUSE on
Quote from the book: “We had to leave the flat on Loomis quick. The water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn’t them because the house was to old. We had to leave fast.” Pg.4
I believe the main theme of the story is home. Their want to have their home comfortable, someday, But for now they have to settle with what they can afford.
“Temporary home” by Carrie Underwood
Quote from the song: “This is not my home, it’s not where I belong. Windows and walls we’re passing through."
"Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood is about how this home on earth is merely temporary till we die. We’ll move on, so make the best of your home now.
I chose this song for it’s depth, and Esperzanza hopes, the house on
Song #2: Character
“Minerva Writes Poems”
Quote from the book: “Minvera cries because her luck is unlucky”
She is always sad with many troubles her husband being one.
Song: “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart”
Quote from song: ‘Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart, well you you can try sleeping in my bed lonely, nobody ever shut me down like you.”
"Try sleeping with a broken heart" is about a girl who can’t be with the one she loves, for what ever reason, and how much it hurts when she tries to sleep.
I chose this song to go with Minerva because, she also is in a lot of pain brought on by the one she loves. While she believes she is helpless to do any thing about it, but sleep.
Song #3: The book’s theme
“Mango Says Good Sometimes”
Miley Cyrus “The Climb”
Lyric from the song: "There is a sliver lining in every cloud is the theme of the book in my opinion."
The song means life is always hard, bu it’s our decisions that make it easier. I believe this goes with the song and story because, Esperanza’s life always had to climb, but eventually she made it across. That is why I chose this song.
