It consists of dozens of short stories, one of which tells a story about a person, an event, a dream, several clouds, several trees and several relationships. The language is clear as running water, dotted with scattered rhymes and novel metaphors, such as a long song, which rhymes with each other and connects with each other, bringing together a clear world and a variety of miscellaneous lives. All the stories are attributed to a narrative center: Espe Lanza, a girl who lives in Mango Street, and a poor Latino community. Born with sympathy and beauty for the weak, she looked at the world around her with clear eyes, telling stories of growth, vicissitudes of life, the beauty and hardship of life, young aspirations and dreams, the dream of owning her own house, the dream of pursuing herself in writing, and the ability to help others.
This book won the 1985 National Book Award, and was quickly included in the authoritative Norton anthology of American literature. Since then, it has entered the classroom of primary and secondary schools, and has been widely used as a must-read for reading and writing, becoming the most famous growth classic in contemporary America. In 2004, Harold, a famous western literary critic? Bloom arranged and guided his reading, and there are more than ten masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, such as Hamlet and The Scarlet Letter.
