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.
