Make career one of your professions. Scheming mind and oratory do well in politics. Invent something, make it practical. Expend too much energy on too many projects, fail. Adventurous spirit brings changes. You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal-the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body.
However, physical attractiveness is very important to you. You have to be proud of your partner. You are privately very sexy, but you do not show this outwardly. If your new lover is not all that great in bed, you are willing to serve as teacher.
Sex is important; you can be a very demanding playmate. Vitality and enthusiasm, inspire others, prone to ill health, common sense overcomes, irritability and "nerves", create financial and domestic problems.

Ambition attained through application and skill. You are not particularly romantic, but you are interested in action. You mean business. With you, what you see is what you get. You are an up-front person. When it comes to sex, its action that counts, not obscure hints.
You are passionate and sexual, as well as being much more adventurous than you appear, however, you do not go around advertising these qualities. Your physical needs are your primary concern. Indecision worst enemy, only you can overcome. Overcome innate fears by self-development and latent talent. Impulsive nature could get you into serious trouble. Overcome tendency to unpredictability and irritability, them many friends and prosperity.
Imaginary problems could overwhelm, stay in the here and now. You may appear innocent, unassuming, and shy; but we know that appearances can lie. When it comes to sex, you are no novice but something of a skilled technician. You can easily go to extremes though, running the gamut from insatiability to boredom with the whole idea of sex.
You can be highly critical of you mate, seeking perfection in both of you. It is not easy to find someone who can meet your standards. You have difficulty expressing emotions and drawing close to lovers.
An idealist, but calculating. How far to go? Only you can decide. Pride does not allow concessions. Ability to appraise situations accurately brings success. Respect for others minimal, you know your ability outshines them. Apply vanity to home and surroundings, so no harm comes of it. The House on Mango Street, authored by Sandra Cisneros, created a feeling of depression throughout most of the book, however in the end left the reader with a feeling that hope is possible.
Believing that living in a bigger and prettier home, she would achieve her fantasy of wealth and happiness. When Esperanza considered the homes on Mango Street, they represented the feeling of a prison that traps the family, but especially the women, and leaves them with little hope. Adeline faces many tough challenges and is forced to inwardly prepare herself for the obstacles that are continually thrown at her.
Adeline lives in a negative household where it is considered conventional for her to be despised, and so she has a constant feeling of being rejected. She shoulders that burden through her school and even keeps up the pretence that she comes from a secure household.
Death is a comfort. Kendall Kulper Esperanza's great-grandmother is the first of many women in The House on Mango Street who spend their lives looking out the window and longing for escape.
Esperanza resolves to not end up like her great-grandmother before she even meets the other trapped women on Mango Street: Mamacita, Sally, Minerva, and Rafaela. They sit by their windows and look down onto the street all day.
The group makes up a kind of community, but these women cannot communicate, and each keeps to her place without much complaint, these women give Esperanza a vivid picture of what it is like to be trapped, hardening her resolve not to be like her great-grandmother. A young college graduate, Skeeter, returns home to be with her ailing mother, and in her ambition to succeed as a writer, turns to the black maids she knows. Skeeter is determined to collect their oral histories and write about a culture that values social facade and ignores the human dignity of many members of the community.
Two maids, Aibileen and Minny, agree to share their stories, stories of struggle and daily humiliation, of hard work and low pay, of fear for themselves. It is a time of change, when. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a memoir relaying the young life of the author as she struggles to live through poverty with her family. Walls gives the reader hard-to-face tales of growing up, acting as a parent figure to her younger siblings due to neglect, and trying to keep the family financially stable.
At the same time, as she becomes more mature and fed up with her home life, she tries to break free from her familial roots and move to New York with her siblings. In spite of the fact that the Walls children raise the money and move to New York, their parents follow them there and decide to live on the streets without a home. The vignette Born Bad, is important to Esperanza, because it talks about a moment that seemed to affect her a lot and has changed her.
This is so, since she talks about how her aunt was nice and caring to them, but is still fragile after she was blind. This is shown when Esperanza kept describing the deteriorating conditions one after another, of her aunt 's apartment and how her aunt can 't do much at this point since she 's blind, and all the girls didn 't do anything to help but watch.
This really affects Esperanza, since she jokes and mimics her aunt with her sisters, and now her aunt is dead she sees how she was rude and wasted the time she could have had with her aunt. She no longer sees herself as an individual striving for self-determination. Instead, she recognizes herself as a member of a social network who must give back to her community in order to break the cycle of poverty that plagues the neighborhood.
Esperanza also develops feelings of moral responsibility toward her community of women. Not until she talks with the three sisters and Alicia, however, does Esperanza understand that helping the neighborhood women will be a lifelong effort. Because Esperanza is a writer, she is a keen observer, and we see her powers of observation mature. She is present in all of the early stories she narrates, but by the middle of the novel she is able to narrate stories based wholly on observation of the people around her.
This change shows that she is becoming an artist, and also that she is becoming more detached from her neighborhood, since she does not always see herself in the stories she tells. By the end of The House on Mango Street , she knows she has become more detached from her home through her writing. Although she has not yet found a home of her own, her writing has helped her to find privacy within herself.
