Alvarez says that her family’s move to the united states and the struggle she had in finding her identity as a dominican and an american had a deep impact on her. which passage from "names/nombres" shows this struggle in finding her identity as a dominican and an american? by the time i was in high school, i was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. it took a while to get used to my new names. i wondered if i shouldn't correct my teachers and new friends. my older sister had the hardest time getting an american name for herself because mauricia did not translate into english. [a]nd i signed yearbooks with nicknames which recalled our high school good times: "beans" and "pepperoni" and "alcatraz." we hugged and cried and promised to keep in touch.
