Papa ordered the papayas because he wanted to plant them in their new home in California. He hoped that growing papayas would remind them of their life in Mexico and give them a sense of familiarity and comfort in their new surroundings. Additionally, papayas were a fruit that held sentimental value for Papa as it reminded him of his homeland.

Papa's brothers bring home his serape, which is a traditional Mexican shawl, in the book "Esperanza Rising." The serape becomes a symbol of Papa and his homeland for Esperanza and her family.
Papa doesn't arrive home he is killed by two men who thought he was not sharing his wealth.
The doll that Abuelita gave to Isabel, the gold medallion that Papa gave to Esperanza, and the harmonica that Papa brought from San Diego were not damaged by the fire in Esperanza Rising. These items held sentimental value for the characters and symbolized their memories and connections to their past.

Papa rewarded Miguel by giving him a new colt for protecting Esperanza during the attempted robbery. This gift symbolized Papa's gratitude and recognition of Miguel's bravery and loyalty towards Esperanza and the family.
