Read the lines from Esperanza Rising. Mama's hair ran down her back in a single long braid, almost touching her waist. Esperanza had never seen Mama wear her hair that way.

How does Esperanza respond to her mother’s new hairstyle?

Esperanza is pleased that her mother has tried something new.
Esperanza is surprised and unhappy with the way her mother looks.
Esperanza likes the new hairstyle and tries to style her own hair the same way.
Esperanza dislikes the new hairstyle and bursts into unhappy tears.

It's between Esperanza is pleased that her mother has tried something new.  &

Esperanza is surprised and unhappy with the way her mother looks.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
