"The House on Mango Street" video was actaully kind of inspirational. If you did not really understand the short story, then the video will definitely be able to clear it up. The video is very short, simple, and to the point which is why it is easy to comprehend. The first two questions the narrator speaks in the video are such great questions: "What kinds of stories would you tell about your house?" and "Have you ever wanted to grow up somewhere else?" When you think about it, those two lines literally explain the short story exactally. Towards the end of the clip, there is one more quote that also explains the short story very well also: "Do you want to be defined by your surroundings?" That is a perfect example of when the nun looked down on their house, and she got very uncomfortable.
This video is very, very clear and I honestly think that if you are having trouble understanding the main idea of the story, then this video will really help!
