Before I start the assignment I would like to share a prediction I have for the class. It is, I predict that Abuelita will die before Mama And Esperanza flee to California because on the back it doesn't say Abuelita flees with Esperanza and her mother.
Now the assignment:
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that since papa died, Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him. If she said no, Tio Luis would make their life worse. The Uncles offer is not fair because Mama doesn't love Tio Luis and since she said that there will be consequences. I think this offer is really cruel because Mama is very sad at the moment and now Tio Luis puts even more sadness into her life! That's horrible.I think Esperanza's family will have to flee to California because Mama still doesn't want to be married to Tio Luis. I think this because on the back of the book it says, "But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California, where they settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers."
#23 :)K
nice prediction #23 but i think abuelita will get hurt and will not be able to travel.

First off, Tio Luis and Tio Marco were Papa's older stepbrothers. The problem Papa had with them was, they cared more about money than people (page 19, bottom), and Papa didn't like that. Mama didn't like them either, but she managed to be polite and respectful. Although, Tio Luis is still being SO rude to Mama(page 29). Unfortunately, Tio Luis is just as stuck up as Esperanza! (Thanks to #4 for giving me the trait yesterday.)Absolutely not! Mama should 100% NOT marry Tio Luis!!! This gets me thinking that maybe Luis and Marco killed Papa to get to Mama! Therefore, it was excellent of Mama on page 32 to turn Luis down! Now, what might happen to Esperanza's family is, they could lose their fortune, Mama could get hurt, Esperanza could have a breakdown and freak out...The possibilities are endless!
~20~
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that Tio Luis could do anything he wants with Esperanza's family's land because he is their landlord. Proof of this is on pages 32 and 33 where it says "Can he do this? asked Mama. Yes, said the lawyer. Technically, he is now your landlord." The uncles' offer is unfair because the amount of money they want to buy Esperanza's family's house with 20 times less than what it is worth. Esperanza and her family might pay for their decision of not selling the house.

Nice prediction #23. It does make sense, and I agree.
From, #17
You're right #20. There are endless possibilities.
From, #17
The problem Esperanza's family has is that because of Papa's death, Tio Luis has purposed to Esperanza's mother and she doesn't want the marriage. If she says no, Tio Luis will keep on offering on the farm. Tio Luis's offer is unfair because both options are bad. First, Tio Luis is offering to buy the house for very low prices. Second, if Esperanza's mother doesn't accept, Tio Luis won't give up. Esperanza's family might lose their home and flee to California. I know this because on page 31 it states Tio Luis saying, " I am the bank president and would like to live accordingly. Now that I own this beautiful land, I would like to purchase the house from you for this amount." He handed Mama a piece of paper."
I also have a prediction:
Mama will choose to marry Luis because she thinks it will give her family more oppurtunities to keep their fortune. Thats why she and Esperanza flee to California. So, technically, I could go with what either #9 or #23 are saying. Abuelita dying or being injured.
~20~
I do not kow who went before #20's prediction, but they forgot to leave a #.
#20
The problem between Esperanza's family and Tio Marco and Tio Luis has to do with El Rancho De Rosas. The uncles want the land that was meant for Mama and Esperanza so the offer is unfair. I think that the family will try to be driven from the ranch because Tio Luis "is now your landlord." (p. 33. "Your" being Esperanza's family) and he will try to make them leave by any means necessary, even murder.
#12
The problem that Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that Tio Luuis wants to marry Mama. After Mama said no Tio Luis had said she would regret it. Since Tio Luis is now their landlord he can do bad things to them. Tio Luis' offer is not fair because Mama does not love him. I think that Tio Luis will do something to Mama to make her flee to California. I think this because on the back cover it states, "But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California, where they settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers."
Thanks #23 for the quote
#22
befor i start i just want to shre an eplanation for papas death. i think that tio luis and marco killed him to get to his land and wife.
now the assignment:
One of the reasons i think that esperanza and her mother hate tio luis and tio marco is, tey always ignored untill after papas death witch lead me to my explanation above.No i dont think the uncles offer was fair because it goes agenst everything that the ortas belive in.I think that Ezperanza and her mother will flee to cali with there servants and work on a platation there.i know this because on the back of the book it says," But a sudden tradgedy satters her world and her and mama flee to califorina where they settle in a camp fpr mexican farm workers."
I agree with #20's prediction, Mama may have no choice. It might come down to marrying Tio Luis or die. #12
the one above is #9s
prediction: I think that the uncles killed papa to own the land!!! What snobs!!!
The problem with Tio Luis and Tio Marco, is that now since papa has died they own the land. Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him and if she didn't she would regret her desicion. The uncles offer is not fair at all!!! The family hasn't even recovered from the death of papa, and KAPLUNK!!!!!! The snobby uncles drop this on them. Mama should marry who she wants, not the people who are trying to take HER land away from her. Esperanza and her family could be thrown into California because of her devilish uncles. I know this because on the back it states,"But a sudden tragedy shatters their world, and causes them to flee to California," Yah, thank you uncles!!!
#11
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that since Papa died, Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him. If Mama rejected him and said no Tio Luis would make Mama's life harder because Tio Luis is their "landlord." The proof of this statement is that on page 32 and 33 it says, "Can he do this? Asked Mama. Yes,said the lawyer. Techonically, he is now your landlord." This offer is not fair because he is buying the land for less then its actually worth. Some thing that could happen to Esperanza's family is that they could move to California and get away from Tio Luis's cruel/mean offer.
I have some people to thank:
Thanks #23 for the quote, thank you #20 for the point
THANKS, YOU ROCK!!!!
#11
I'd like to complement #17. That was a great quote about the "landlord," I didn't even notice it.
#15????????!!!!!:):):):)
#9 Thanks for the point about mama hating the uncles, I'm not so crazy about them either!!!!
#11
I would like to agree with #9's begginning. You could be right about that Tio Luis and Tio Marco were the ones who killed Papa. The reason I say this is because it was probably their plan to kill him and then marry Mama so they could take over the farm.
#15:)::):):)
The problem the family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that after Papi died Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him. The offer is unfair because either way yes or no, Mamas life will still be miserable. If she says yes Tio Luis will treat her like dirt and take over the ranch. If she says no some of the few family members she still has close will hate her. Esperanza and her family might flee to California. I think this because on the back it says,"But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California, where they settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers.
And #23 I totally agree with you completely I thikn that makes a ton of sense.
--#24
Oh and #23 I am not positive Abuelitas will get killed. She could get hurt, not want to leave etc etc. There is a word of possibilities.
--#24
Before I begin this assignment, I want to let you know that I was close to tears when I read this chapter because I couldn't imagine my dad dying and my family overcoming such an awful tradgedy!
-#14
#23 I don't think Abuelita will die I think she'll get hurt really badly.
#3
Nice prediction #23 I agree that Abulita does die and doesn't flee with Esperanza
same here #14

The problem Esperanza has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that they cared more about money than family. They are also Papa's stepbrothers. I would NEVER EVER want to have uncles that cared about money and power more than family. I would have to agree with #20 about how Tio Luis and Tio Marco might have killed Papa, and try to take over. I think that because Tio Luis and Tio Marco would live in a mansion, have servants, own a vinyard, and worst of all, tell the Ortega family what to do!! I think that Esperanza and her mother might move out. I wouldn't agree more. The way Papa's stepbrothers took over to me felt like torture and I would never want to be related to them! I think that Esperanza and her mom will run away because we had a huge discousion on where they would flee. When I thought more about why Abuelita might not choose to come along is because it would be too much running. Also she might marry Tio Luis so she can keep the house in order, as well as living in a house.
#6
I would have to dissagree with #14 because what if Abuelita can't walk too far, or what if she actually likes Tio Luis or Tio Marco. Otherwise, I agree!!!
#6
The problem Esperanza has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that nobody likes them really because all they care about is money. The uncles offer is unfair because it say's that Tio Marco and Tio Luis are Esperanza's familys landlord. I know this because on page 32 and 33 it says,"Can he do this? asked mama. Yes say's the lawyer.Technically they are your landlord." Esperanza and her family might have to move to California because Tio Luis and Tio Marco are mean and greety because there making him pay twice as much, and since nobody likes them they will make Esperanza and her family leave Mexico. and move somewhere else.
#8
sorry take out there making them pay twice as much
#8
First of all, Tio Luis is a banker and Tio Marco is the mayor so they are very strong and powerful. After Papa died they had more self confidence and Tio Luis knew that he could buy Esparanza's house and marry Mama to get votes for governor.(Pages 33 and 34). I do NOT think their EVIL scheme is fair because Mama had it hard ENOUGH to lose her husband in the first place and now a powerful, greedy banker is offering a PROPOSAL to her JUST to get votes in a election for governor!!! What a AWFUL thing to do!!!
Anyway, I think that Mama will start getting blackmailed by the uncles for her marrage and it will get so out-of-hand that she and Esparanza evacuate their home forever.
-#14
Everyone,
Sorry I had threw a fit about this last chapter. I was just REALLY angry with those characters!
-#14
I predict that Esperanza's uncles killed papa because they never talk to Esperanza.
Now for the assignment:
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that Tio Luis asked mama if she would marry him. Mama said no and Tio Luis said that mama would regret her decision and he would make her life difficult if she didn't change her mind. It states this on page 32 when it says "Esperanza could not believe what she had heard. Mama marry Tio Luis? Marry a goat? She looked wide eyed at him then mama. Mama's face looked as if were in terrible pain. She stood up and spoke slowly and deliberately. I have no desire to marry you Luis now or ever. Frankly your offer offends me. Tio Luis's face hardened like a rock and the muscles twitched in his narrow neck. You will regret your decision Ramona (mama). You must keep in mind that this house and those grapes are on my property. I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult. I will let tou sleep on the decision for it is more than generous." The uncles offer is not fair because on page 31 it says "Now that I own this beautiful land I would like to purchase the house from you for this amount. He handed mama a piece of paper. Mama looked at it and said, this is our home. My husband meant for us to live here. And the house...it is worth 25 times this much! Esperanza's family might have to leave Mexico because Luis might make their life really hard and even worse...terrible!
#25
Thank you #6 for letting me know there are other possobilities that could happen. You are right, I was focusing on one sad part!
-#14
Esperanzas family has problems with tio luis and Tio marco because they are basicly forcing marrage on mom just so those pathetic excuses for human beings can win an election.Esperanza and her family will probably move away from their greedy uncles.On the back of the book it says"Esperanza and her Mama flee to california" Which is prety much what proves my statement.Over all the uncles offer is as far from fair as it can get and i hope Mama sees that.
Thanks to everyone for all of your comments because they were all different and they are making me want to read more to find out if any predictions happen!:)
-#14
There is a huge problem between Esperanza's family and Tio Luis and Tio Marco, it is that now that Papa is out of the picture, they own the land and take big parts in the city. Another problem is that Tio Luis wants to marry Esperanza's mom, Ramona, and when she "has no desire" (page 32) he says they "will regret her decision" (also page 32). To me Luis' offer is completely unfair to Esperanza's family and to Papa. Luis shouldn't even think of marrying his brother's wife right after he died. That is so disrespectful that I would be "offended by the offer" just like Mama. Because of Esperanza's mother's reply to Luis' proposal, they could benefit or lose from the decision. If Mama accepted the offer they could keep their house, but since she declined,they will probably lose the privileges to live on Luis' (Papa's) land.
#4
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is Tio Luis wants to marry Esperanza's mom and she's to upset and doesn't love Tio Luis.
This offer isn't fair because mama doesn't love Tio Luis and he will make things hard on the family he is also their land lord so he has power over thier land.
I think that Esperanza's family will flee to California I know this because on the back cover it says,"But suddenly a sudden tradegy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and mama to flee to california. great quotes guys.
The problem Esperanza has with Tio Lious and Tio Clark is they are trying to steal the land from them.No their offer isn't fair why should mama have to marry someone she hates just to keep the land se is intiteld to. One thing that could happen to esperanza and her family is they could have to move to America. I know this because on page 37-38 it says " she wondered where they would go if they had to live somewhere else."

GOOD JOB EVERYONE #10

A problem that Esperanza's family has with Tio luis and Tio Marco is it's unfair that mama has to marry Tio Luis or else she has to get sent to California and not have the ranch. that ofer is not fair because mama dose not love Tio Luis and that would be weird to marry her brother in law. One problem that i know will happen to Esperanza's family is that the'ir moving to mexico because mama is not going to marry Tio Luis. I know Tio luis wants mama to marry himm because on page 32 it says "Mama marry Tio Luis?"
Last i agree that Tio luis should not be messing with papa's belt buckle and chair even though he's dead
The one at 8:03 a.m. s me 18 * *

cool #23!!!!
Esperanza's family has a problem with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that they are trying to get there land and Tio Luis is trying to get Mama to marry him so he can live on the land. He also wants to marry her because everybody in the country is very fond of her. He likes this because he is running for town mayor and if he is married to her then everybody would vote for him and he would win. I don't think the uncles' offer is fare because it only really makes his life better and not Mama's or Esperanzas life. I think that Tio Luis will try to make Mamas and Esperanzas life more difficult for them. I think this because on page 32 it says"You will regret your decision, Ramona."
B#3
The problem with Esperanzas uncles is that the land is now theres since papa died. I know this because on page 30 it says,"As you know, it is not customary to leave land to woman and since Luis was the banker on the loan, Sixto left the land to him." I think the offer is unfair because the uncles probably made a plan to kill papa so they could get the land, and papa would probably give the land to mama because they are husband and wife. I think that Esperanza and momma will move to the United states to get a job so they could stay wealthy and not stay servants. I know this because on page 36 it says,"We will not work for them. The work is hard in the United states but at least there we have a chance to be more than servants."
B#11
The problem with Esperaza's family and Tio Luis and Tio Marco are that Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him and brought them only more sadness about Papi dying.The uncles offer is unfair because Tio Luis said if Mama doesn't marry him there will be consquinces like he can kick them off the land or ruin their crop since he is the landlord which means he owns pretty much everything.Which I think is horrible and made their lives even worse.What might happen to Esperanza and her family is that her and her mom will run off to America but the grandma will stay.I think this because Tio Luis said if Mama didn't say yes to the marriage they would regrett it and they can't get anyone to help them because they would have the President banker and the Mayor aginst them, so they will eventually have no choice but to leave.I think the grandma will stay because she probably thinks that it is the right thing to do and she can't make it to America.
#B14
The problem Esperanza's family has is, Tio Luis and Tio Marco want to buy the house but now Tio Luis wants to marry moma and become a powerful couple. If she said no to the offer they would make their life worse. The offer isn't fair because, all Tio Luis wants is the money and power and mama doesn't love Tio Luis.
I think that her family and her will run away from their house, because of the bad working conditions. The bad working conditions are I think from not marrying Tio Luis. I also think that they will run away with Miguel, and his dad to the U.S. I think that because, on page 36 it says,"Now that it seems true we will probably leave to the United States for work."
B#23
The problem that Esperanza's family has with the uncels are that now they are the the landlord and they own the land and the house is on the land so they could at any time take the house from them. Tio Luis asked mama to marrie him so they could own the land. He also just wants to marrie her so he can be able to live on the land.Esperanza and her mom both knew that he just wants to marrie her for her money. He was going to run for governer and he said "who wold'nt want to be a governers wife" so they relized that he just wants her for the fame and fortune. I think the uncels offer is not fair because even though the land origanally was there's but now that he would own the land an the house,they would give him all the credit for the house and not papa. The house means more to them than just owning it they like it because of the memories of papa and to mama no amount of money could pay off for that house because they love it so much.One thing I think might happen to their family is they might have to move to the us because on page 36 and 37 miguel and Esperanza are talking about moving and Miguel said "my dad always said we would only move if it was necessary." Esperanza said that they needed miguel and their family with them so my guess is that if they move so will Esperanza's family.
~#B 10:)
good point #23 about mama not loving uncle luis and he does not love her eather he is just a greedy man and wants the land and money
~#b 10:)
1)Esperanza's family have a problem with Tio Luis and Tio Marco because the house was left to Esperanza and her mother ,but a women can't own any land. So, Tio Luis owns the land. He wants to buy the house from them or Mama can marry Tio Luis.
2)I think the uncles offer is unfair because it really does not leave Esperanza and her family much of a chose because she can sell the house and go to America or marry Tio Luis.
3)I think that they won't take the offer of married, but they will sell the house and have to flee to America. I thought this because Mama would never marry Tio Luis. Also on the cover it looks like Esperanza is letting go off one rose witch represents El Rancho de las Rosa and holding the new life in California to her heart. I also noticed that on the back it says "But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California..."
sorry that one was B#5
Before my presentation I would like to say that I think Tio Luis and Tio Marco killed papa. I think this because Tio Luis had papa's belt buckle, and when they had found papa (dead) he didn't have his buckle.
The problem with Esperanza's family is that papa is dead and Tio Luis and Tio Marco now own the land. They are now a big threat to Esperanza and her family. Tio Luis asked mama to marry him, if she said no (which she did) Tio Luis and Tio Marco will make her life much worse. i don't think the offer is fair because Esperanza's family is already strugling with papa's death and the loss of the land. also because mama is very sad and Tio Luis and Tio Marco are just making it worse. This i thought was very unfair and tragic to mama. after the events of Tio Luis and Tio Marco I think Esperanza and mama will move to california, i think this because on the back cover it says "a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and mama to flee to California..."
B#19 :) happy face =)
Assignment #2
I have a comment to share:I think that Tio luis and Tio Marco killed Papa to get the land and at Mama.I think this because it said that Papa's belt buckle was missing and then it said that Tio Luis was wearing the belt buckle.
Now for the assignment:
a.The problem that Tio luis and Tio Marco present to Esperanza's family is that they most likely killed Papa and now Tio Luis is the landlord of Esperanza,Mama, and Abuelita.This makes him able to kick them off the land.Also,
he wants Mama to marry him and he tells them that if she doesn't marry him,then he will make it very hard for them to live comfortably.
b.I do not think the uncles' offer is fair because,first of all, it is more like a threat rather than an offer.Secondly, if Mama does not want to marry Tio Luis then he has the right to kick off the land which puts a lot of pressure on Mama if she wants to keep her family safe and still keep the land.Another reason this isn't fair is that Tio Luis only wants to marry Mama so that he can win the elections.
c.I think that Esperanza and her family will have to run away TO CALIFORNIA PARTIALLY(sorry somehow I hit caps lock)because it says on the back,"...forces Mama and Esperanza to flee to California". Also, because Mama doesn't want to marry Tio Luis and on page 32 it says," You will regret your decision, Ramona.....I can make things very difficult for you." This was Tio Luis talking to Mama and I think that she and Esperanza will run away with Miguel and Alfonso to America.
Sorry again for the whole caps lock thing and my number was #B4 also I accidently didn't capitalize Luis a lot.
#B4 :>)
The problem that is happening in Espreanzas family is that after there papa died the uncles want to take over there land and take there house. I know this because on page 31 it said "now that I own this beautiful land Tio Lius said I would like to purchase the houe from you for this amount. He handed Mama a piece of paper. Mama looked at it and said this our home my husband meant for us to live here. And the house is worth twenty times this much! So no,I will not sell.Besides,where would we live? I predictided you would say no,Ramona said Tio Luis. I have a solution to your lving arrangements. A proposal actully one of marriage. Who is he talking about? thoght Esperanza. Who would he marry? He cleared his throat. Of course,we could wait the appropriate amount of time out of resect of my brother. Esperanza could not beleive what she heard.Mama marry Tio Luis? Marry a goat? Mama's face looked as if it was in terrible pain. She tood up and spoke slowly and deliberately. I have know desire to marry you, luis now or never. Luis got angry and said you will regret your decision,Romona this house is on my property and you will pay" I think Esperanzas family will loose there land and have to find a new one. #B16
The problem Ezperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that they don't get along. Tio Luis wants a lot of power. The problem is he wants the land and Ramona (Esperanza's mom). Esperanza's family will not give it to them
The uncles offer is not fair because the house is worth a lot more. I got this on page 31 and it says "This is our home. My husband meant for us to live here. And the house...it is worth twenty times this much!" Also it is where they live, they have no where else to live
I think something bad might happen to Esperanza and her family. I got this because on pade 32 it says " You will regret your decision Ramona.You must keep in mind that this house and those grapes are on my property. I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult. I will let you sleep on this desicion, for that it is more than generous." Some examples for what they might do to Esperanza's family is stop making grapes, burn down the house, kill someone, kidnap someone, plus many more things. I really wonder what Tio Luis and Tio Marco will do to Esperanza's family.
~B#12
I have a prediction. I think that Tio Luis and Tio Marco killed Esperanza's dad!
~b#12
Before I start this assignment I predict Tio Luis and Tio marco killed papa. The proof for my prediction is that Tio Luis was wearing papa's belt buckleand papa was wearing that probably the night he was killed.
the problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that since papa died, Tio Luis asked for mama to marry him! If mama said no then Tio would probably kick Esperanza and mama out of the ranch and house. The uncles offer was not fair because if she said no he would make life hard for them and would lose a lot of money. I think Esperanza should leave the house and go to America where you could get a job and get an apartment and live probably a better life.
The problem that Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that every time a man passes away, their land goes to the closest related man to them. In this case the closest related men to papa were Tio Luis and Tio Marco. They wanted to buy the house from Mama and Tio Luis proposed to her too. Mama said no and now Tio Luis said that she would regret saying that. This offer is not fair because things are good for the uncles either way Mama makes her decision. Since Mama refused to Tio Luis's proposal, Tio Luis said she'd regret her decision. I know this because on page 32 it says"You will regret your decision, Ramona. You must keep in mind that this house and those grapes are on my property. I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult. i will let you sleep on the decision, for it is more than generous.''
#B21
Esperanza's problem is that Tio Luos and tio marcus are now her landlords. Since they are her landlords they can kick Esperanza and her family off the ranch. Then Esperanza would have nowhere to live. The uncles' offer is ufair. I think this because they ssay that if Ramona (Esperanza's mom) doesn't marry Tio Luis he will kick her out. Ramona doesn't want to marry him and he gives her no other choice but to be kicked out or marry. What might happen is that Esperanza and her family will have to leave and start a new life somewhere else. I know this because on page 32 it says, "You willregret you decision,Ramona. You will must keep in mind that his house and those grapes are on my property. I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult." Thsi shows that Tio Luis is evil man. That will do whatever it akes to get his way even if it meant kicking out family.
sorry the last blof was from #b6
The problem with Esperanzas family and Tio Marco + Tio Luis is that Esperanza and her mom were not treetd nicely by the uncles ever and since Tio Luis asked Mama to marry him it doesnt hlp Tio Luis impressin on Esperanza and her Mama! i dont think Tio Luiss offer was fair because all he wants is the land and hes doing whatever he can to get it.i think Mama has an idea that Tio Marco & Tio Luis havee something to do with Papas (Papis) death.I think Espranza and her Mama will have to move to America with Miguels family and settle with them and they might even have to work in America becaus there is no other way to make money
~#B22
OMG ppl this is the funnest living homework (well not living cuz its homework......u no wht i mean!) u guyses r doing so well! i think they all rock cuz...........THEY DO. c u in school
~#B22
Esperanza and her family have always disliked Tio Luis and Tio Marco. They are always too serious and power hungry. But since Papa died that dislike has become a huge problem. Tio Luis and Tio Marco own Esperanza's family's land, and they threaten to take the only thing that they own away from them, the house. The only way Tio Luis will let them live in peace is if Mama marries him, so he legally owns the house. But Mama will never marry Tio Luis. He is very angry about her refusal, so he says on page 32 "You will regret your decision, Ramona." He will make their lives horrible until they either leave or give into his demands. So there is a severe problem for Esperanza's family, one that Tio Luis might end forcefully. The uncle's offer of selling the house to them or the marriage of Mama is not by any circumstances fair. The price they offered to buy the house for is much less than it is worth, so that offer is a scam and shouldn't even be considered. But the other offer is even worse, for by marrying Mama, Tio Luis is entitled ownership to the house and everything else that Esperanza's family owns. He will without a doubt use that to his advantage. He is really only marrying for money and power, as someone says referring to Mama on page 33 "It is your influence he wants." As Mama is still very wealthy and the community respects her greatly he would gain much by becoming her husband. So these offers are obviously not fair. I think that Esperanza and her family will not accept these offers. As a result Tio Luis and Tio Marcus will most likely do something to make them leave the land and move out of their house. The proof of this is in the quote on page 32 "I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult." This is definitely a threat. I think that after they move off the land they will flee to the United States with Alfonso and his family. Miguel said they were going to have to go to the U.S., and I expect that Esperanza will go with them. It even says on the back of the book that she is forced to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers in California. Whatever happens to her family, one thing is certain. Hard times lay ahead for Esperanza.

1) The problem that Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that Tio Luis and Tio Marco are 2 important, wealthy men that are papa's step brothers. The Problem with Tio Marco is that he is the Mayor and that is a powerful position. The problem with Tio Luis is that he is the banker. Also he is the land owner because when Papa died he left the land to him. Tio Luis also wants Mama to marry him so he will win elections and be popular and respected.
2) I do not think the uncle's offer is fair because Esperanza and her mother are very sad and Tio Luis is just making them more depressed and sad by telling mama that if she does not marry him, she will regret it.
3) I think Esperanza and her family will have to flee to California because on the back it says, "But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California..." I also predict that Esperanza and mama will become poor because on the back it says, "riches to rags."
Sorry the one before was #B20
THE PROBLEM ESPERANZAS FAMILY HAS WITH TIO LUIS AND TIO MARCO IS TIO LUIS WANTS TO MARRY MAMA AND SHE WILL KEEP THE HOUSE AND LAND.IF SHE SAID NO,TIO WOULD MAKE HER LIFE VERY DIFFICULT .THE UNCLES OFFER IS NOT FAIR BECAUSE SHE SAYS ON PAGE 32 "I HAVE NO DESIRE TO MARRY YOU EVER, FRANKLY YOUR OFFER OFFENDS ME".THAT REALLY SHOWS SHE DOES NOT LIKE HIM.HE IS ALSO BLACKMAILING HER .SHE EITHER MARRIES HIM AND ALL GOES WELL OR SHE DOESNT AND LIFE BECOMES DIFFICULT.SHE ALSO SAID ON PAGE 31 "THIS IS OUR HOME.MY HUSBAND MEANT FOR US TO LIVE HERE.AND THE HOUSE ....IS WORTH 20 TIMES THIS AMOUNT".IF MAMA MARRIED HIM THEY WOULD BE FORCED TO LIVE IN HIS HOUSE AND PICTURE HIM AS A FATHER.IF SHE DOES NOT MARRY HIM THEY MIGHT BE FORCED TO MOVE OR RUN TO AMERICA AND LOOSE THERE VINEYARD.#17 NICE JOG EVERYONE!

1. The problem Esperanza's family have with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that they are mean and nasty to Esperanza's family. I know this because on page 32 it says "You will regret your decision, Ramona . You must keep in mind that this house and those grapes are on my property. I can make things difficult for you."
2. No,the offer is not fair because on page 31 Mama said, "This is our home. My husband meant for us to live here. And the house... it's worth twenty times as much.
3. I think Mama and Esperanza are going to flee to California. I think this because on the back cover it says "But a sudden tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California, where they settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers."
The problem Esperanza's family has with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that when Papa died Tio Luis and Tio Marco were given the land in Papa's will ,but Mama and Esperanza were given the house and the income from the crops.Tio Luis proposed to Mama so he could own the house because then he would get the money from the crops.Also, everyone in town will vote for him in the election for governor because everyone in town adored Mama and Papa and if Tio Luis was married to Mama he would get votes.After Mama said"I have no desire to marry you,Luis now or ever.Frankly,your offer offends me."Tio Luis said"You will regret your decision ,Ramona."The uncles' offer is not fair because if Mama doesn't marry Tio Luis, she would be kicked off the land.Also, because when Tio Luis tried to buy the land from Mama,Mama said that the house was worth 20 times as much as he was tryng to pay for it. Since Tio Lois said "You'll regret your decision ,Ramona."To Mama,Esperanza and her family have to watch out because Esperanza's uncles will do almost anything to get them off the land.What might happen to Esperanza and her family is Tio Luis and Tio Marco are both powerful men ,one owning a bank and the other being the mayor
The bank owning uncle may not let them take any money out to pay their taxes or the Uncles will not grow any crops on the land ,since they legally own it. Then Esperanza and Mama will not get any income.So Esperanza,her family,and Miguel and Alfonso will have to flee to America to survive and have to work.If Esperanza has to work I predict she will be stunned because she's used to servants doing everything for her.

The problem Esperanza's family had with Tio Luis and Tio Marco is that since Papa died, Tio Lius asked Esperanza's mom to marry him. If she said no, Tio Luis would make Esperanza's mom's life miserable. The Uncle's offer is not fair becuase Mama does not love Tio Lius and since but he said that there will be consequences if she does not marry him. I think this offer is real mean because mama is sad since papa died and now she has to think about this. This will make Mama even more sad. I think her family will be forced to move to the United States to get a job and live there.

The problem is that Tio Luis and Tio Marco are very mean and selfish but they are powerful, too. Also, when Papa dies, the family has no blood relationship to the two uncles, except for Ezperanza, who does not care for them. Because of this, the uncles have almost no symphamy for the family, snd can make things hard for them, as it says on page 34:"...They can make things difficult for you. Remember, they are the banker and the mayor.."
The uncles's offer was unfair because it was unrespectful to Papa and because he was forcing Mama to marry; otherwise he'll make it difficult for her.
I predict that Ezperanza and her family will be forced out of her house. I predict that Tio Luis will burn the grapes so Mama could not pay the servants, and then he'd do something to the house.Since the family coud not stay in the house since there was no house. Then they'd have to go away.

1) Esperanza and her family has a huge problem with their greedy "goat" uncles. I say this because they make very large attempts to take over the land and everything on it. Although the family gets the grape profit the uncles can destroy the grapes to stop income and force the family out.
2) The uncles offer is NOT fair because he didn't really consider Mamas situation and because he is really forcing the proposal upon her.
3) I think the uncles will do something to hurt them. If they didn't they would not leave their beloved land to go to America like it says on the back ".....Esparanza and Mama flee to California....."

I think this because on page 34 it says,"I can make things difficult for you. Very difficult."

Tio Luis and Tio Marco don't care about the family they only care about the money. Since they were Papa's step brothers they might not have loved him and killed him for the land and money. I think Tio Luis's offer was unfair because now anything could happen to Esperanza's family after Mamma said she would never marry Tio Luis on page 32. I think Esperanza and her Momma might be thrown out of the house.
