Read the passage from "names/nombres" by julia alvarez. “say your name in spanish, oh, say it! ” i had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to dominican custom, included my middle names, mother’s and father’s surnames for four generations back. “julia altagracia maría teresa álvarez tavares perello espaillat julia pérez rochet gonzález." 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.
