The Symbolism in The House on Mango Street

Throughout the quarter, we have witnessed the power of expressing culture through symbolism. Specifically, referring to the “Latino Language Communities” in Chicago where we learned by way of readings, lively class discussions, and a multitude of excursions. With the examples of symbolism we have encountered, a common theme seemed to persist.

The theme of culture is very evident throughout all that we have experienced this quarter. All of the excursions supported this common theme of culture through symbolism, but one that stands out to me were the ofrendas from the Day of the Dead exhibit at the National Museum of Mexican Art. The rich culture and powerful significance that was expressed through these symbolic and artistic masterpieces are a testimony to themes of culture and symbolism.

Many of these overlying themes discussed in class and that were observed through the exclusion were present in the novel, The House on Mango Street by San Sandra Cisneros biography - view.genially.com ZEXO
