The document introduces the study of Sandra Cisneros' novel "The House on Mango Street" by discussing key concepts about immigration and outsider experiences in the United States. It notes that the US is a nation of immigrants and all immigrants have been outsiders at some point. It poses curriculum-framing questions about what defines American culture, how culture is reflected, what it means to be an outsider, and what is unique about being an outsider.
