Ugly by Christina Grimmie is a fitting song for Esperanza, because it is talking about what to do if you feel ugly compared to others. This fits Esperanza because she often feels bad about her looks when she looks at girls like Sally. In the song , it says “Funny how it looks when you switch the roles, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, Never know what’s underneath until it gets exposed” and Esperanza never sees that even in their beauty that they, much like her, see flaws within themselves. Sally cakes on makeup to feel pretty, and that’s an example of trying to cover up the flaws that Esperanza sees in herself. It’s basically saying that everyone has flaws no matter how hard they try. This portrays Esperanza because she sees these other girls, and immediately feels ugly and like she is less than them. Esperanza looks at them and tries wearing heels and fancy dresses because she’s trying to be something she’s not – fake.
