When I read the first poem in the book, "Leaving home", on page three by Sandra Cisneros, I felt like she was making a statement, how much she wants to get away and be in her own space . As the writer expressed about having her own space, she really demonstrates it by writing, "Not a man's house. Not a daddy's. A house all my own. ("leaving home", pg 3) . From my perspective, something in her life caused her to want her own space, it's something very valuable for her to have that personal space. I wonder if something as a child made her feel that way or an event . I began to really believe it has something to do in a person's childhood that caused them wanting to run away and have their own space, especially when I read the second poem on page 7. My guess about the second poem was that its about two teenagers wanting to get away and have their own life, "And feeling awful because San Francisco was on a postcard on a bedroom wall. We wanted to get there . . ("Leaving home", page 7) Both writers were not happy with something or someone in their lives and wanted to have their own space.
