"The girl fears by learning to speak English and be bilingual she will lose her identity and what things around her will lose their identity and what they mean to her."
-I think the theme of Bilingual Sestina is the connotations her native tongue has; connotations the english language will never carry for her. There are things she wants to say, but English has complicated the meaning of words and she longs for the simple way to say all the complicated things she feels, observes, and thinks
The theme is obviously related to "woman's work"/housekeeping which represents domestic life and the role of gender specific roles.
Julia Alvarez wrote the story based on herself so it's an autobiography. Names/Nombres is about a girl and her family that moves from the Dominican Republic to New York. She gets frustrated when everyone around her pronounces her name wrong or gives her a different name. A lesson Julia learns is that she might have been Julia, Judy, Judith, or even Juliet to other people, but she knew she would always be Julia to her and her family. Knowing her name helped her accept all the other names she was given. She didn't like the names, they frustrated her but she learned that no matter what people called her she would always be Julia.
Ironing Their Clothes by Julia Alvarez focuses on family relationships. It uses everyday imagery and chores to underscore the love and unity family members share, and how seemingly meaningless tasks show devotion and care.
