where she lives, whether it’s the house on Mango Street or the places prior to that. In this quote, Esperanza reflects on a past event from when lived on Loomis. Here, a nun asks her where she lives. When Esperanza points to the third floor, where she lives, the nun responded with shock by saying, “’You live there?’”, which hurt Esperanza.
