One imagines that her mother must have been pleased to have a daughter among so many sons. One obvious difference between them is that Esperanza has three siblings, a sister and two brothers Cisneros, on the other hand, grew up as the only sister to six brothers. (In a later interview, she calls it "an invented autobiography.") The difference between writing factually about one's own life and writing imaginatively out of one's experience can be subtle, of course, and there are undeniable similarities between the fictional Esperanza and Cisneros, who grew up during the 1950s and 1960s in a working-class Latino family. To the same interviewer, Sandra Cisneros expresses a little annoyance at readers who assume that she is her Mango Street protagonist, Esperanza Cordero - that the book, in other words, is autobiographical. Nevertheless, her book The House on Mango Street is set there.
In 1987, Cisneros would tell an interviewer in Texas that she had never felt a strong sense of connection to Chicago. Although she grew up mainly in Chicago, the family often visited her father's relatives in Mexico, and Cisneros would later say that she felt "displaced" during her childhood.
