Mariano Azuela's "The Underdogs" And Sandra Cisneros' "The House On Mango Street"

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela and Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street both reflect the desire for social acceptance amidst a prejudicial world. Esperanza's personal struggle to be accepted amidst a racially intolerant world mirrors Demetrio's efforts to defy social segmentation that proclaims peasants to be unworthy of social equity. Individually they face their respective battles only to find they are fighting against forces much greater than they will ever be. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
