  • THEMES
  • POWER OF A NAME
  • I hate my name!
  • LANGUAGE BARRIER
  • Hamandeggs?Por Favor.
  • Would you like coffee with that?
  • POWER OF WORDS
  • "In English my name (Esperanza) means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting."
  • Even early on, before Esperanza was born, her father had a problem expressing himself because he didn't know English. He only ate ham and eggs because it was the only thing he could order.
  • Esperanza turns to writing and decides that she will use her writing to escape from the community she wants so desperately to leave.
