Sally was a terrible friend even though Esperanza tried to keep Sally safe. Sally is a beautiful girl and is raped by her own father. Esperanza always tries to protect Sally, but Sally is not very appreciative of it. An example, "But when I got there Sally said go home. Those boys said leave us alone. I felt stupid with my brick. They all looked at me as if I was the one that was crazy and made me feel ashamed," (page 97). Sally continues to leave Esperanza to go with boys, but Esperanza recieves a major consequence that reveals the truth about her and Sally's friendship. Esperanza stated, "Sally Sally a hundred times. Why didn't you hear me when I called? Why didn't you tell them to leave me alone? The one who grabbed me by the arm, he wouldn't let me go. He said I love you, Spanish girl, I love you, and pressed his sour mouth to mine," (page 100). After that tragic incident, Sally gets married to a marshmallow salesman and moves to another state that allows marriage before eight
