Maturity In The House On Mango Street

I felt that the author used high heels in the book as a metaphor of Esperanza's tremendous growth and maturity through the book of "house on mango street". Esperanza starts as an extremely immature insecure, with a childish personality of a young girl, but later on matures greatly throughout the book.
IN the beginning of the novel, Esperanza really shows that she despises boys, not liking they and essentially does not want anything to do with them.

I'll offer them the attic, ask them to stay, because I know how it is to be without a house" through this quote you could clearly see the juristic growth from the beginning of the book. Esperanza grows out of her childish and arrogant state to a more confident becomes to feel more empathy towards others, showing her transformation into a confident mature women. Esperanza will even a homeless a place to stay regardless the state or how the house looks like, but she
