    The novel ends with Esperanza teaching Isabel how to crochet the zigzag stitch.  How do the "moutains and valleys" compare to the plot of the novel?

    When Esperanza finds out Miguel has taken her money orders, she is devastated.  Describe how she must feel when Alfonso comes to take her to the train station to pick Miguel up.  Is she justified to feel this way?  What was Miguel's reason for taking the money?  What do his actions mean?

    Describe the cabin where Esperanza must live in America.  How does this home compare to her home in Mexico?  When Esperanza points out these differences, why does Mama become angry with her?  Is Mama right to be angry with her?  Why or Why not?

    What does Esperanza mean when she says to Miguel that there is a "deep river" that runs between them?  Does this change in California?  Is so, describe how their relationship changes and give reasons for why this might happen.
