How does the narrator establish a conflict between her Mexican identity and the English-speaking country through the discussion of her name? (Consider when she mentions Mexicans or Spanish versus when she mentions English, school, and her classmates) How is her name tied to her cultural and racial identity?

Answer:
She shows how her name is spoken in a strange way at school, among classmates, as if it hurt to pronounce it, however among her Spanish speaking community, her name was soft and seemed to be something precious, like silver . That's because, in the Latin community, her name is natural, inherent, as something accepted that is part of that.
Hope this helps
