At that place is a junk shop in the neighborhood owned past an former blackness man. He doesn't plow on the store lights unless he knows the customers have money. Esperanza's family bought their fridge from this store, and Esperanza once bought a little Statue of Liberty there for a dime. The store is full are piles of mysterious sometime items with winding aisles between them.
The story begins to expand now to portray more of the peripheral characters of Mango Street, as Esperanza starts to explore her globe. The owner of the store is the only blackness grapheme in the novel, then seems foreign to Esperanza (she is afraid to talk to him), which puts her own "otherness" in perspective.

Esperanza and Nenny wander through the maze of stuff in the dark. Esperanza is agape to talk to the owner, but Nenny asks him lots of questions. 1 day Nenny asks him about a pretty box, and the old homo opens information technology. Information technology is a music box, and the song that plays is very moving to Esperanza. She tries to describe the music with images of moths, or drops of h2o, or marimbas. Esperanza has to turn abroad and so Nenny won't see her beingness "stupid" and crying. Nenny wants to purchase the music box, but the onetime man says it isn't for sale.
The themes of dazzler and language are fully introduced here, as Esperanza starts to test her poetic sense by trying to describe the music with different images. The music moves her to tears, and conspicuously both Nenny and the owner are entranced as well, as the owner won't sell the box. For all of them, the dazzler of the music takes them out of their surroundings and lets them escape to a ameliorate identify in their listen, and also momentarily joins them together in the experience of dazzler despite their differences.
