上海市秀沿路在哪个区:《芒果街的小屋》？？？

House on Mango Street,西班牙裔女作家Cisneros, Sandra的作品，1984年出版，大致内容是以一个女孩子的视角来看世界。因为1984才出版，没有过版权期限，所以英文站上找到的可能性很小……台湾有个少女作家把它给翻译了，或许中文版还好找些呢……

You can never have too much sky.You can asleep and wake up drunk on sky,and sky can keep you safe when you are sad.Here there is too much sadness and not enough sky.Butterflies too are few and so are flowers and most things that are beautiful.
——The House on Mango Street

这是《芒果街的小屋》中的一段，它的大意是：

“你从未拥有过太多的天空。你可以在天空下安睡，醒了又醉；悲伤的时候，天空也可以让你感到安全。但这里的悲伤太多了，天空却太少。蝴蝶也太少，还有花朵，还有大多数美丽的东西，它们全都太少。

The House on Mango Street is a collection of vignettes written in the voice of the fictional character 12-year-old Esperanza Cordero. The story begins when Esperanza's family moves from a rented apartment on Loomis Street to a small house that they own on Mango Street. Esperanza serves as both observer and participant as she describes her relationships with people and places in her neighborhood. She toys with growing up, especially in scenes that include the bag of high heel shoes, the red-lipped actress and the outfit her mother purchases for the baptism party.

Values: The book recounts themes and events common to childhood as well as accounting for jealousy, tyranny and mistrust. Some topics that can serve as the basis for classroom discussion include the powerlessness of some of the residents of the barrio and the frustrations of a feminist living in a time and place where women are used and dominated. There also are opportunities to talk about gossip, ridicule, spying, drunkenness, theft and family abuse.

Ideas for Reader Response-based teaching: This novel provides a wealth of opportunities for response. The book opens with Esperanza's discussion of names. A good opening activity is to have students research the history and/or meaning of their names. Students can talk to parents and investigate sites such as behindthename.com for information. Other response-based activities would include writing and talking about neighborhoods, friends, houses and growing up. The vignettes offer opportunities for students to connect Esperanza's feelings and experiences with their own life. Another response writing activity would involve each student writing a letter of advice to Esperanza over a challenge she has faced over the course of the book. Students can compile a scrapbook about their childhood, including neighbors, friends and experiences. Chapters are short and numerous but powerful. Each offers a springboard to discussion
