Esperanza Rising: Las Uvas (pgs. 234 - 253)

Required Prediction: Does Esperanza eventually marry Miguel? Why do you think this?

Respond to at least one of the following questions in detail:

Question #1: Josefina tells Esperanza that the peaches will be sorted one piece at a time? How can you apply this to life's problems?

Question #2: How does Esperanza react to hearing English spoken at the bus station? How does this determination differ from her thought about learning English when she first arrived in California?

Question #3: What sign does Abulita see that makes her think things are better for her family? Is this superstition something that you would believe? Why?

Question #4: Why does Esperanza ask Miguel to take her to the plateau? How does this time differ from the two other times she listened for the heartbeat?
