Why is Mamacita homesick?

Mamacita, as we know as the big mama of the man across the street. She came here because of her husband who works here, he saved his money to bring her and baby boy here so that she wouldn’t feel lonely. However, she only stays in her room and never came out with the feeling of missing her home so much. Someone said that because she can’t speak English, and even some said because she’s too fat to get down from the stairs. Somehow, maybe, she’s just missing her pink house from the photograph. Whatever the reason, she never came down and wouldn’t so.
First of all, as in my opinion, I think that she’s homesick because she couldn’t adjust to the people who lived there. As well as her basic standard of speaking English is so low which means that she can’t communicate with others and it makes her to feel more lonely because she usually speaks in Spanish in her own country. Based on the story, the author said that she can speak only eight words and this might be the reason that she’s afraid to speak in English. She’s afraid that others would laugh when she speaks and being inferiority finally.
Some said that because she’s too fat to come down from the third floors. The reason is that, so many people were talking about her body shape and characteristics which almost all in negative ways. This might hurt her feeling and feel shame on her and wouldn’t dare to come down to meet other people. The more rumors people said about her, the more she would feel bad about it and reminds her about her home in her own country.
The last possible reason might be because of the photograph of her home in her country. Her pink house with lots of light, this might, somehow, motivated her lots of being sick at the place she’s living at the moment and missing her own country. She sits all day long listening to the Spanish radio thinking about her home and singing along with the songs which also makes others feel disgusted on her. Other people might not understand her feeling but, some might know how lonely we would feel when we have left our own home, our own places to live somewhere else for some purposes. She’s a woman for somehow who has feeling like others, well, it’s not wrong.
Mamacita is just an ordinary woman who has sensitive feeling like others’ women. She’s missing her home so much with some reasons which other people who never left their own places might not understand her feeling. The feeling in which we have to live somewhere else with different languages which we never get used to it is so hard to get adjusted. People made the rumors about her in bad way such like fat and smelly, no one could accept this whether it’s true or not, somehow it’s so mean to that person. However, I think that the main reason is because of the language she uses in usual which is Spanish. People here usually use English and as her skills, she can speak only for eight words and it makes her afraid to speak because she doesn’t know how. Missing home is not wrong, however, she shouldn’t make others feel disgusted with her country by turning on radio and singing homesick songs from her country for all day long.
