Week 1 Discussion Question

In Chapter 2 Esperanza learns of her father's death. Her grandmother says to her "There is no rose without thorns," which Esperanza takes to mean "That there is no life without difficulties." This will be one of the most difficult things Esperanza faces in her life. Why will this be so hard for her? Why do you think the author starts the story this way?  

Make sure to write in complete sentences using a RAD response. Your answer needs to include details from the text. Type this in your blogging doc first so you don't lose your work and you can go back and edit. Check your spelling, capitalization, grammar, and sentences before you post. Show me your best thinking, stretch yourself to find the answer.
