    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.

    Explain Mama’s reasons for leaving Mexico.  Would you have been willing to make the same decision if you were in her situation?  Why or why not?

    Why does the author open with a scene of Esperanza and her father lying down to hear the heartbeat of the earth?  How does this shared experience seem to affect Esperanza's relationship with her father?
