The House on Mango Street- quote response

Page 747:
"They always told us that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours for always so we wouldn't have to move each year."
*This is a sad quote because the narrator tells it like she knows it is an impossible feat to overcome. The narrator knows that her family is poor and even at a young age realizes how muh off a strain it would be on the family in order for them to get a house, let alone get the house they dream of.

"I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it. For the time being, Mama says. Temporay, says Papa. But I know how those things go."
*The narrator is implying that her parents still have faith and are trying to spread that faith upon their children. However, the narrator seems to know better and look at life more realistically than her parents notice her to.
