Who are my ancestors and where did I come from? Is all my family black or are parts of me
europen or Asian? When I go into this project I hoped to find a path in my life where my family
we had a small stuggle. I want o know if we had to deal with rascim or did some of my family
have fair skin so they were treated better than most. On my other side of the family my grandma
does really know much about her father and I knew he grew up with a rough life. I watn to know
more about my uncles and who they are. My mother side is lost to me I only know my aunts and
step grandma and poppop. In house on mango street I can relate to a lot of Sandra cisnero talks
about ti makes tm thnk of my childhood and whi ive become as a person today. I wasnt sure yet
but I know theres a sotry about rape in the story or so what I can remember . I feel this would be
a tounchy sotry.

Who are my ancestors and where did I come from? Is the majority of my family black or do I
come from Asia or Europe? Am I African? When I go into this project I hope to find a path in
my life where my family has struggled. I want to know if we had to deal with racismIm sure
we did. Or did some of my family have fair skin so they were treated better than most. On my
other side of the family my grandmother doesnt really know much about her father, but she does
know that he wasnt there when she was growing up. I want to know if her father grew up in a
rough life. My mothers brothers dont know much about me and I want to know more about
them. My mother side is lost to me and I only know my aunts, step grandmother, and my
biological grandfather. In the house on Mango Street I can relate to a lot of what Sandra
Cisneros talks about. It makes me think of my childhood and why Ive become the person I am
today. Also, Im not sure yet, but I remember reading about a story related to the subject of rape
in this story. Its a very touchy subject so will it be discussed?
