House on Mango Street Critique and Summary
In the story House on Mango Street. The character Esperanza has trouble fitting into the house and community she is living in. She starts to mature as she sees what the men in the house treat the women. The people she surrounds herself with are a bad influence on her. Esperanza is independent, over course of the book Esperanza says she 'doesn't want no men in the house'. Esperanza is feminist because of all the bad experiences she had with guys. while I read this book i did not like how they switched from character to character because in the end it got very confusing.

The Bluest Eye
The Bluest Eye did not grab my attention. However, I see how it relates to a Social Justice Issue. The bluest eye was about Racism and how people were treated back then. The main charater is a girl who lives a normal life just seeks out the trouble around her community.
