Why does Esperanza feel like she is going to hell

She believes she deserves to go to hell because she and her friends were imitating (making fun of her) aunt and then her aunt died. Esperanza read books to her aunt because she was blind. Lupe tells her writing will keep her free.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."
