Question

In “My Name," what is Esperanza's attitude toward her name?
She thinks it is better than any other name
She wishes to be more like her family member with the same name
She wants to change it to a new name
She is indifferent about her name (no opinion)

Answer 1

I think it’s “She wants to change it to a new name because Esperanza said that although she likes how her name means hope in Spanish, she doesn't really like her name and she would gladly change it but she isn’t Abe to do nothing she can do about it, as she says "But I am always Esperanza," (Cisneros 11).
