The main character in this story is the narrator. He is shown as being a round character because he has a couple of sides to his personality. The narrator starts off criticizing his family on how it tends to get bigger every time they move. This is shown when he says, “Each time it seemed there’d be one more of us.” He is also critical about the places he has stayed and what he expects out of moving to a new place. He says, “The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don’t have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people dow

There is an internal conflict in the story between the narrator and himself. He wants one thing but ends up getting something that is the exact opposite. He says, “Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen that you have to push hard to get in.” He realizes that what he wants in life is not easy to get. There is a minor external conflict that causes him to think more. This happens between him and the school nun when she looks at his house and says, “You live there?” That gets the narrator more upset about the fact that he does not have nice house and he is willing to do anything to get his dream house.

The tone in this story is disappointing because from the start the narrator is not happy with the way he is living. To further deepen his wounds, he moves into another house that is not compatible with the status he wants to be in. He knows how things will turn up and to show this when him and his mother are talking and they say, “For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go.” He has now gotten used to not getting what he expects and begins to realize that he cannot do anything about it.

In conclusion, we know what the narrator is going through because we all have the experience of not getting what we want in life. He just further elaborates on how he feels when he gets something less that what was expected. I liked the story because it is a lesson for society on how you have to work to
