Explanation:

Ju lia Alvarez's short story Daughter of Invention revolves around a Dominican family who had escaped their country and emigrated to America. Narrated by the young girl, the story tells of how their life in America and their past life in the Latin nation differ and how it had affected their own relationship as a family. But despite it all, they worked through their differences and built a stronger relationship.

The young narrator was writing a speech to be given in the school assembly. And in her speech, she had boldly stated her independence and in her father's words, is "boastful". And despite being in America, the land of the free, Carlos, the father, still seems to live in fear of the government or anything that's in authority as such. And in this fear, he refuses to allow his daughter to give the "boastful" speech and tore the paper. And in his usage of their mother tongue, Carlos exhibits his connection to his Dominican origin, for he still uses the language that he was born into despite living in America. This reveals that he still remains tied to his Latin roots.
