Las Papayas (p.23-38)
In chapter 2 Las Papayas, Esperanza tells Senor Rodriguez who has brought Papayas at her father's request for Esperanza's birthday party, that Papa has been killed working in the field. Papa's funeral lasts three days, and Esperanza does not want to open her birthday presents because it does not feel right and Papa was supposed to be here. We find out that Papa left the house to Esperanza and her Mama, but the land to Tio Luis. Luis wants to buy the house and offers to marry her and threatens to make her life hard when she refuses.
Esperanza does not want to open the birthday present because Papa was supposed to be here, and when her mother insists that Papa would've wanted her to she listens to her. I can infer that because the doll is from Papa it is the only present she cares about and wanted because she misses her father, even though she received several birthday presents.
