The names of Esperanza's uncles in "Esperanza Rising" are Tío Luis and Tío Marco. They are brothers to Esperanza's father, Sixto.
Esperanza's Tio burned down Esperanza's home
Tio Marco brings Mama the blank telegram, while Tio Luis brings her a basket of baby clothes and a blanket. Both gestures are meant to support Mama and show solidarity during a difficult time.
Mama and Esperanza hate Tio Luis in "Esperanza Rising" because he is not trustworthy and causes trouble for their family. He is greedy, manipulative, and mistreats them, which causes tension and conflict within the family. Tio Luis's actions go against their values and threaten their well-being, leading to their dislike for him.
Tio Luis is a more traditional and conservative character in "Esperanza Rising," while Esperanza is a strong and independent young girl who adapts to difficult circumstances with resilience and determination. Tio Luis represents the old way of thinking and the harsh realities of the world, whereas Esperanza embodies hope, growth, and the ability to build a better future for herself.
In the novel Esperanza Rising, it is implied that Esperanza Ortega's crooked step-uncle Tio Luis did so, to punish her mother for refusing to marry him, and to blackmail her into changing her mind.
The central conflict in "Esperanza Rising" is Esperanza's struggle to adapt to a life of poverty and hard work after her family's wealth is lost. She must overcome her grief and entitlement to find strength and resilience in her new circumstances.
Esperanza prays for that Abuelita will be able to withdraw money from Tio Luis's bank, will get better, and that she will come soon
