Initiation is an essential step for all human beings, which means one achieves maturity after experiencing ordeals or perplexity. And initiation story shows the protagonist’s growing process from naivety to maturity both in physical and psychological conditions. This thesis will analyze the novel from the perspective of initiation story. The House on Mango Street is a representative work about marginalized people written by Sandra Cisneros, which shows the living perplexity of women in Mexican American. Through her own experience and others'' guidance, the protagonist finally woke up and matured. The thesis will analyze the protagonist''s growth experience in the immigrant community from the perspectives of initiation story, with ethnic issues and immigrant life as the background, and show how protagonist finally grew into an independent woman. Although racial and gender equality has gradually taken root in people''s minds, minority women are still in a double marginal position in American society. Studying the growth process of Mexican-American girls can help us deeply understand the survival dilemma faced by minority women living in American society, which is of great social significance.
