The House On Mango Street/YMMV
- Squick: That old man asking one of Esperanza's little friends (little as in twelve-ish) for a kiss in that story about the shoes. What's worse, it's noted that she seems to be considering it (he offers her a dollar).
- Tear Jerker: "Red Clowns." any time she talks about wanting a new home.
- Anything having to do with Sally.
