Explanation:

Mami's decision to work likely changes the family - dynamic. For the first question, it may affect the daily care and attention Esmeralda and her siblings receive. An example quote from page 116 could be used to support the impact. For the second question, Esmeralda's emotions might range from pride to a sense of loss of her mother's constant presence at home. We would need to refer to the text on pages 114 - 119 to identify specific emotions.

Answer:

1. Mami's decision to get a job likely means less time at home for her. This could lead to Esmeralda and her siblings having to be more independent. For example, as stated on page 116, "[Insert relevant quote here]" shows how their daily routine is disrupted.
2. Esmeralda may feel a mix of pride in her mother's new - found independence and a sense of sadness or longing for the times when her mother was always at home. The text on pages 114 - 119 would provide more specific emotions.
