Journal Two from Nate

Hey my name is Nate. I'm in my first year of college and am going for Middle Childhood Education. I graduated from North Union High School and now at that very same school I coach track and football. I want to be a teacher and coach because in my life those are by far the people who have had the most impact. So if I can have a similar effect on the future generations I would be more than happy.

My opinion so far of The House on Mango Street is that our main character is very determined. You can see this most when her house is described as "that house". In this moment she could cry of embarrassment or bottle it all up inside, but she doesn't. She says right then and there that one day she will have a house that isn't "that house". This moment is when I feel the writing was at it's best thus far.
