Answer:

Family is very important to the author, so it makes me think that family is important to Hispanic culture. Even extended family members are close in the story. It also seems like the author has a strong sense of family history. The author’s ancestors are remembered by passing on their names to the children. Hispanic heritage has always been a big part of the author’s life. Some parts of it, such as having to introduce her big family to her friends, embarrasses her. But it’s her family and her Hispanic heritage that supports her and helps her deal with the challenges of being an immigrant.

Answer and Explanation:

After reading the essay "Names nombres" written by J. Alvarez, we can learn how difficult it is for a family of Spanish origin to maintain their names and traditions within a totally different culture like that of the USA, especially when that family comes from a country considered to be "third world", seen as inferior and often shameful and devalued. This affected the way Alvarez saw her own identity, associated with her and her family names. These names were pronounced so differently by the Americans, it seemed that they were erasing the Latin origin of it and imposing an Americanized and more "normal" version.

In this essay, Alvarez approaches her youth as a Latin immigrant in the USA. It shows how difficult it is to live between two cultures and how it affects various elements in people's lives.

I used bold font to correct the dialogue. I hope my answer helps you (:

Ray hesitated, clutching the

small, broken gift in his hands.

He felt ridiculous. "I guess you

don't want my present then" he

asked. "The only thing I want

from you is for you to leave"

Linda said, wiping away her

tears. "You think one present

can make up for all those

missing years?" Ray put the

damaged photo frame down

on a nearby table. "Of course

not. I'm sorry I spoiled your big

day." He paused for a moment, then turned and walked out.
