这是一有关"梦"的故事, 梦谁没有? 然而我想对你们说, 梦是我们其中一位的最爱.
希望她喜欢"芒果小屋". 还能跟我们分享她梦中的"澎湖湾" ;-)

举手表决的戏大概不会重演,因而我可以放心大胆地说 “厄最喜欢《4棵细瘦的树》”。
长在芒果街的小房子前面4棵小榆树有顽强的生命力，贫瘠的土壤挡不住他们扎下深深的根。作者的寓意在这里当不必提， 不然太小儿了 ：-）
厄要说的是，野草的生命也够强的。今年大旱，草坪上如今剩下的全是野草啦。草坪上不停地冒出几棵不想要的小树， 拔掉了，又长出来。砍过几棵树， 不久又从树根上发出新芽来。几年前前院种了一颗香椿，因为太占地方，而且为了不让它长高，不停地修枝让它光秃秃的种在前院太不雅观，就给砍了， 没想到若干年过去了， 今年又长出两棵来。
8. What do you think had happened in chapters “Red clown” and “What Sally said”?
Red Clown--She's been plucked :-)
What Sally said -- lost of innocence
11. In chapter ‘Gil’s furniture brought and sold”, why wouldn’t the old man sell the old music box?
That is the only thing which can brighten up the drab store.
12. Who encouraged Esperanza to write?
婶婶瓜达卢佩
15. What does her name, “Esperanza”, stand for in English and Spanish?
English:希望
Spanish：哀伤，等待
紫罗兰和萤火虫应该得最佳学生奖, 连着几个月就我们两人老老实实地做作业.
我也要奖，也有做作业，就是晚了点。：）
1。日记回忆形式：一人，一物，一景，一事，一梦，几棵树，几朵云，几许感叹，几多愁。以一个少女的角度来看这个复杂的大千世界。
和以前的书比较这次和我们的生活更贴近，就象邻居家唠家常。
