We have read in class the piece by Sandra Cisneros "My Name" in which the character of Esperanza explains how she dislikes her name. You are creating your own "My Name" pieces to tell me about your names.
To bring everything full circle you need to read the following article:
"Good or Bad, Baby Names have Long-Lasting Effects" by Jeanna Bryner
http://www.livescience.com/6569-good-bad-baby-names-long-lasting-effects.html
After reading the article, address where Sandra's character of Esperanza would fall?
Then address your opinion about names and whether you agree or disagree with the author of the article. Make sure to site evidence from the article in your response.
Have your response ready on Monday, August 31st.
