Explanation:

When Esperanza sees her father crying about the loss of his dad, she finds herself not knowing what to do because her father is not one to cry. Her discomfort lies in her inability to comfort him. At the same, it´s a bizarre situation for her to see her father, who always seems so strong cry like a child, her being a child herself. Furthermore, she finds herself wondering about how she will feel when she loses her father, something quite surreal for a young child.
