Text
The House on Mango Street is an English-language novella by Sandra Cisneros. It occasionally includes Spanish words and phrases. The English text surrounding these words and phrases _____ their meaning, so readers who aren't familiar with Spanish can easily read the novella. Ana Castillo takes the same approach in her novel Sapogonia.
