Week 1 Discussion Question

In Chapter 2 Esperanza learns of her father's death. Her grandmother says to her that "There is no rose without thorns," which Esperanza takes to mean "That there was no life without difficulties." This will be one of the most difficult things Esperanza will face. Why will this be so hard for her? Why do you think the author starts the story this way?
