Marin is that older teenage girl that all little girls want to be. She has a boyfriend who lives in Puerto Rico. They send love letters to each other professing how much in love they are. She said she was going to get a real job downtown. She says “since you always get to look beautiful and get to wear nice clothes and can meet someone in the subway who might marry you and take you to live in a big house far away.” She’s too much trouble though so Louie’s parents are going to send her back. She only comes out at night, lights a cigarette and listens to the radio. When boys pass her they say dumb things but, it doesn’t faze Marin. She is a universal person. Everyone in their lifetime has known someone like her. A girl who is beautiful, who has so much potential to be whatever she wants but, wants a man to sweep her off her feet and take her away from Mango Street.

Ayana,
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this blog that you all have created. The theme is unclear and there is too much busy stuff that is on your page. What is this?
Also, please tell Ingrid to all my comments. She has disabled comments to her posts. It's fine but if she doesn't revise, then she won't get the grade she wants.
