Esperanza finally realizes how important her name is (because it means "hope"). After the many fates of other women, she tries to make her own. She starts writing poems.

Esperanza is still trying to make friends, like at the place she worked. She still doesn't see Nenny as a possible best friend. She also acts too idealistic.

The girls tried on high heels and they run away from a bum man.

I just read about the Vargases.
