I NEED THIS FAST!!! NO LINKS PLEASE Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.
âSay your name in Spanish, oh, please say it!â I had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to Dominican custom, included my middle names, Motherâs and Fatherâs surnames for four generations back.
âJulia Altagracia MarĂa Teresa Ălvarez Tavares Perello Espaillat Julia PĂ©rez Rochet GonzĂĄlez." I pronounced it slowly, a name as chaotic with sounds as a Middle Eastern bazaar or market day in a South American village.
What is the most likely reason why Julia does not like to say her whole name?
Her entire name is too difficult for her to pronounce.
Her friends like to make fun of her Dominican name.
It embarrasses her because it reflects her ethnicity.
She does not like saying it, because it is too much trouble.
