The two chunk paragraph
TS The House on Mango Street and son, both contain the theme the abuse of women.

CM Sally is Esperanza’s friend, she wants to go to a new home because of her dads beatings.
CM When sally does get married at a young age it doesnt get any better, she says, ” She is happy, except for some times her husband gets angry and once he broke the door where his foot went through, though most days he is okay.”
CD The father says,” duty calls, the social contract is a balance of compromises,” knowing that this would infuriate her.
CM This shows that the women are not respected and just tools of life to men.
CM This shows that all of the women are not important and expendable to most men.
