HOUSE ON MANGO STREET BLOG POST

“ She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow”. (pg. 10)
“and then Rafaela, who is still young but getting old from leaning out the window so much, get locked indoors because her husband is afraid Rafaela will run away since she is to beautiful to look at”(pg 79)
“Do you wish your feet would one day keep walking and take you far away from mango street, for away and maybe your feet would stop in front of a house, a nice one with flowers and big Windows and steps for you to climb up two two upstairs to where a room is waiting for you.”(pg.81)
No speak English(pg 76)

The first two quotes to me is like the same. For example both women are being locked in doors, they are force to do something they don't want to do.The first women is being locked in because she is married to a man she don't want to be marry to.
Then the other girl is being locked up because her husband is afraid she might run away.
Its seem like all the mens are doing is locking their women up so they don't run away. And the women are still trying to get notice so they are looking out the window.
.
in the other quote on page 81 is somehow different from the other two. They are talking about house with big windows which is going to look like they are rich and they live somewhere beautiful. Living in a house with big window and when is open will make everybody on your block look at your house which is also looking at you.
the other last quote never really said anything about window.All it really talked about was how people don't know how to speak English.
