1. Discuss how naive Esperenza is in LOUIE and his cousin (p 23-25). Were you ever that naive? Do you consider being naive always bad? Or do you sometimes envy someone that is naive? Explain.
2. Discuss the sanctity of your neighborhood (those who don't). Is there truth to this vignette?? Is it a positive or negative thing? Explain.
3. Discuss the imagery used on page 30 to describe Angel Vargas' death. Why might Cisneros use such imagery? What did it make you visualize and how did it make you feel? Does the description conflict with the event? Explain.
