Esperanza+Rising


 * __Esperanza Rising__** by Pam Munoz Conrad is about a girl named Esperanza. Esperanza is a rich girl who lives on the farm with her family. Her parents have peasants that live with them and are paid to work for them. All the riches and fame are of no use when they find out that their beloved father and husband dies. This event has come as a shock to them and sends them from riches to rags. Esperanza's uncle asks he mother to marry him, and as quick as they can they move to California to live as immigrants.

I thought that this book was very interesting. It made me think more about how others feel and not worry just about myself all the time. In the story, Esperanza and her family are not treated very well. After Esperanza and her mom lost her dad, they soon lost their home because Esperanza's mother would not marry Esperanza's uncle. He burned it down after he felt rejected that he would not have a wife.
