Chapter 2: Las Papayas

Evelyn:
This was a really sad and scary chapter. Esperanza's dad died and she is afraid her mom will marry her really mean uncle. I hope they will save the farm from her mean uncles.

Madelaine:
I think Esperanza is feeling sad and mad. She was crying. She was mad because her uncle was wearing her father's belt buckle. Miguel seems nice. I think he likes Esperanza. I think she him, too. Esperanza's uncle Luis just wants money.

Melissa:
I think Tio Luis is a creep. His brother just died a few days ago!!!! How could he propose to his sister-in-law? I don't think he loves Esperanza's mother. He wants the house, a pretty wife and to be governor. What a jerk!
