And Tango Makes Three is very interesting to me because it is introduced to children at an early age and is a very much a banned book. I also did not think about the book is targeted towards young children, so I decided to change to a popular book called The House on Mango Street. The book was written by a Latino American, and it was about a little girl named Esperanza. It outlines the hardships of growing up Mexican in America and trying to hide her race to fit and conform to what the world sees as “perfect.” She idealizes the “American Dream,” and living on Mango Street was not what she envisioned. Esperanza also noticed how hard women have it living on Mango Street. There is violence and hardship throughout the book, but it ends on a good note in the end. Esperanza realized she would never be able to leave the women behind and she decides to stay.  51KEr5saI2L._AA160_
