Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez. Our first few years in the States, though, ethnicity was not yet “in.” Those were the blond, blue-eyed, bobby-sock years of junior high and high school before the sixties ushered in peasant blouses, hoop earrings, serapes. My initial desire to be known by my correct Dominican name faded. I just wanted to be Judy and merge with the Sallys and Janes in my class. But, inevitably, my accent and coloring gave me away. Which detail best conveys the main idea that Alvarez wants to fit into her new culture? Our first few years in the States, though, ethnicity was not yet “in.” Those were the blond, blue-eyed, bobby-sock years of junior high and high school . . . . . . before the sixties ushered in peasant blouses, hoop earrings, serapes. I just wanted to be Judy and merge with the Sallys and Janes in my class.....NEED HELP PLEASE

The detail that conveys the idea that Alvarez wants to fit in with the new culture is the sentence that shows that she wants to merge with the Salles and Janes of her class, as shown in the last answer option.

We can reach this conclusion because:

  • "Names/Nombres" by Alvarez shows the author's difficulties to fit into American culture since she has Latin origins.
  • Alvarez points out that she felt bad about not having the look that America liked and not having a typical American name.
  • She wanted to fit in and be accepted in this culture and that's why she says she wanted to merge with the Sallys and Janes in her classroom, as they had the American standard that everyone admired.

This shows how the experiences of people of Latin ethnicities can be difficult, as they attempt to fit in impacts even the emotional quality and psychology of people.
