Reading Esperanza Rising is like watching my favorite Spanish Telenovela. Reading it gave me memories of Thalia and her role in Marimar. The book was a real page turner and I loved every chapter. It was one of the most memorable books that I read this quarter, and I definitely recommend it to everyone. I also learned several Mexican proverbs that I will sure remember:
Aquel que hoy sa cae, se levantara mañana. -
He who falls today may rise tomorrow.
Es mas rico el rico cuando empobrece que el pobre cuando enriquece. -
The rich person is richer when he becomes poor, than the poor person when he becomes rich.
