In the House On Mango Street, Cisneros wrote about the dream of a “real house” meaning not just the structure of a house but having the feeling of a comfortable steady home. A “home” in this novel seems to be somewhere nice with no problems and to have no worries. Yes i think the houses in The House On Mango Street represents something more than just a structure in which family lives, because a structure can be having a roof over your head and being able to eat atleast a meal a day. Cisneros wants a life that is comfortable, a home that comes with less worries, being that his family is less fortunate.
