"The baby died. Lucy and Rachel's sister. One night a dog cried, and the next day a yellow bird flew in through an open window. Before the week was over, the baby's fever was worse. Then Jesus came and took the baby with him far away. That's what their mother said." (103) For some reason I really liked this vignette. It was longer then most and was in so much detail. It was the first time Esperanza has, "...seen the dead" and she seemed so affected by this. She drew this relationship between the sisters and talked about the power they had together. I really liked when she was talking at the end of this vignette about how you can't erase what you know and you can't forget who you are. This was just a very good vignette and I really enjoyed reading it.
