Now that students have read some of "The House on Mango Street," they will notice some of the repeated themes that run throughout the book. These themes are: language/names, gender/sexuality, and foreignness/society. All humans can relate to and understand these themes. Students need to choose a "chapter" that we have already read and explain how that "chapter" connects to one of the already mentioned themes.
