House On Manga Street Theme

For the book The House On Mango Street, I believe the theme is love. One example I have for this is from the chapter Hairs. One quote brings love of family to me head:
"But my mother's hair, my mother's hair, like little rosettes, like candy circles all curly and pretty because she pinned it in pincurls all day... (and the quote continues on)"
This quote makes me think of the love Esperanza has for her mother if she can put just one feature of her into so much detail. It shows she loves her mother enough to be able to describe something like hair so beautifully and so descriptive.
Another quote is from "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark" there are actually more than one quote that remind me of love in this chapter. The quotes from this chapter are such:
"Esta muerto, and then as if he just heard the news himself, crumples like a coat and cries, my brave Papa cries. I have never seen my Papa cry and don't know what to do."
"My Papa, his thick hands and thick shoes, who wakes up tired in the dark, who combs his hair with water, drinks his coffee, and is gone before we wake, today is sitting on my bed.
And I think if my own Papa died what would I do. I hold my Papa in my arm. I hold and hold and hold him."
These quotes remind me of love because it shows how she thinks of her father. In the first quote, it shows how strong she believed him to be. Then it tells how she wouldn't know what to do if he died and so she comforts him. It shows how she is willing to be the strong one for her father when he can't be.
