Before I die...
I've been looking at the TED Talks site again, and came across this short presentation which seemed to relate in some way with what we were reading about in The House on Mango Street.
In the book, Esperanza is struggling to come to terms with her surroundings and is trying to decide where she belongs, and what she wants to do with her life. The video is about a project that addresses these sorts of questions.

After you've watched it, please write your next post, including any comments about the presentation itself, and especially about what is important to you. ("Before I die I want to...." with details, reasons etc, please.)
