What does it reveal about her connection to her family, her home and her neighborhood? As the Nurse knows Medea, she is aware of what she is capable of doing. Soon after, Sire's girlfriend Lois arrives. It shows the reader that Marin was distraught, worried. There still are some people that are treated like Geraldo but its rare.
But she will remain who she is, even as her friends and family wonder about her life away from them. Esperanza's reports suggest that Marin herself, however, is not so well informed as she thinks she is; one suspects that her extreme youth and a sense of honor among the boys and men she dances with — along with a good deal of luck — have so far protected her.

While exploring her world, Esperanza experiences the shame of poverty, the unfairness of racism, and the beauty of poetry and music. Everything is waiting to explode like Christmas.
