Esperanza is angry because members of her own family (her uncles) have put them in a position where they have to run away. Her uncle is responsible for the burning of their home, he wants their land, and he wants her mother. Their situation wasn't merely a result of a fire and subsequent destitution, Esperanza's uncles jointly created that destitution to acquire land.
