Death difference in the two vignettes from the "House on Mango Street"

So listen here guys, there are many differences between the deaths in the two vignettes “Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark” and “There was and Old Woman She had So Many Kids She Didn’t Know What To Do.” During the second vignette Esperanza loses her grandfather, who lives in Mexico. This death doesn’t affect her as much as it affects her father.  In the first one, the death of Rosa Vargas’s husband is very tragic, and affects the family financially. Rosa has to care for a bunch of kids all by herself without the support of her husband. Along with that, and the grief with the loss of her husband, this death affects her more than the death affects Esperanza.

                Esperanza has grown in many ways through these vignettes. First of all, she has grown physically, as in the growth of her hips. And she has grown up both emotionally and mentally by the fact that she got a job and is taking on more responsibilities.
