I haven't read this poem, but it might help to know that assonance is an almost-rhyme.
Example:
normal rhyme--tomb, womb
assonance--tomb, home
In the movie Educating Rita, a student describes assonance as "getting the rhyme wrong."
"skinny and spotted with satin scars where scabs were picked."

What is a cliche in the house on mango street
An example of hyperbole in "The House on Mango Street" is when Esperanza describes her new high-heeled shoes as "magic." This is an exaggerated statement meant to convey the idea that she feels transformed or special when wearing them.
The House on Mango Street was created in 1991-04.
Her previous homes were temporary and lacking in stability, while the house on Mango Street was meant to be permanent. The house on Mango Street was a symbolic representation of the family's aspirations for a better life, whereas her previous homes were a reminder of their struggles and limitations. The house on Mango Street offered Esperanza a sense of belonging and identity, which she did not find in her previous homes.
In "The House on Mango Street," foreshadowing can be seen in the references to Sally's abusive husband, which hint at the challenges she will face in her marriage. Additionally, Esperanza's desire to leave Mango Street and seek a better life foreshadows her eventual growth and transformation as she pursues her dreams.
In the story of the House on Mango Street, the friends of Esperanza were Cathy and Sally.
"Bulls can't fight red" represents a belief in the power of appearances or symbols. "The monkey" is used to describe someone who is always imitating or copying others. "Roses in my shoes" refers to feeling special or important.
No, The House on Mango Street is not the kind of house Esperanza always wanted. She dreams of a larger, more permanent home that is not associated with the poverty and limitations of Mango Street. The house on Mango Street represents the struggles and constraints she longs to break free from.
Sandra Cisneros, a Mexican-American writer from Chicago, wrote "The House on Mango Street."
