I know this because in the US, she is being bullied because of her differences. She wears frilly dresses, has dark, curly hair and eats spicy food unlike the Americans. In DR, she is able to be herself and spend time with people like her. https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978579017 2022-01-06 13:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978579017 shadday Greaves https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978579557 i think julia felt more free in dominican republic why is bc in the U.S they make fun of her the way she talk and she dont got any friends ]]> 2022-01-06 13:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978579557 Nevaeh Fields https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978580290 she feels more free in Dominican republic because people can talk her langue ]]> 2022-01-06 13:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978580290 raihanajose0216 https://padlet.com/breebuttermark/zuyrhw2mhj7ev0wz/wish/1978582429 She feels more free in united states because 
There was one place, however, where Julia felt she could be her true self — in her writing. As she grew older, instead of just reading stories, she began to write them. At first, she tried to write like famous American writers, most of them white men writers. But her life experience gave her a different way of seeing the world. As a young woman, she also made new friends with other Latinas — women from Latin American countries like the Dominican Republic, Chile, Argentina and Colombia. She felt excited about bringing her past to life using words. She started writing more about the Dominican Republic and her childhood.She wrote stories mostly in English and sprinkled with Spanish words.

Everything else had to stay behind. At first, they had to squeeze six people into a small apartment instead of living in a large house. Julia missed her cousins, and her big, happy family. The cold winter made her skin dry and cracked.  by this evdince we see that her family is back there and she just left all of  them so donmincn republic must of been bettter
