Explain the similarities between Esperanza and Tita.

Pedro tries to name the child Josefita, after Tita, but Tita will not allow it. She does not wish for the child’s life to be shaped by her own. Nevertheless, Esperanza has much in common with Tita even as a baby. She spends most of her time in the kitchen because of her mother’s illness and is soothed by the smells and sounds of cooking. Rosaura insists that Esperanza be brought up to her bedroom but Esperanza cries loudly whenever she is separated from the kitchen. To appease her, Tita brings pots of food upstairs to fool the child into thinking she is in the kitchen.
