Rossana is italian and loves experiencing new things and learning about different cultures. Being born and raised in Italy, where nothing is more important than “la famiglia”, family is of highly importance for her. However, her concept of family transcend the blood ties as she consider her close friends to part of it as well. This clearly explains the high scores she reached in both family and social.
Moreover, coming from a country where christian religion still plays a major influence on society, she recognizes she has been fairly influenced by it during her childhood, that is why, despite she stopped going to church and following the christian precepts a while ago, she still considers herself as somewhat a spiritual individual.

Culture highly shapes the identity of characters in ‘Looking for Alibrandi’. Josephine Alibrandi is Italian with a bit of Aussie in her, her mum (Katia Alibrandi) and her Grandmother (Katia Alibrandi) also Italian.

Lola is twenty-year-old female who is has a bit of difficulty identifying her place in life. She describes her family as a loving doting father she feels warmly for. She sees her Mother as a cool personality but describes her as pretty, and she only acknowledges her sister in passing. She states that as children they moved around a lot and that she was a lonely child. This trend of being lonely continued as she grew up and she finds friendships hard to start and even harder to maintain. There was not a feeling of family togetherness and they did not have many gatherings out outings.
she is for sure not a religious girl, many changes happen. To quote Ernest Hemingway,
Family is one of those words that have a significant meaning to various individuals. Family may be viewed one way to an individual and another way to someone else. Family consists of those who have played a particular role in one’s life, whether it is positive or negative. In this paper, I will assess Reymundo’s family both nuclear and extended and speak of how his family has become significant in his life and how they have played a role in his decisions. I will also speak of my personal reactions to the story as well as address ways that as a social worker I could work to impact the gang problems in Orlando.
At the same time she was a sincere Catholic who wanted to be used as a God’s servant. However, she was not just Catholic, but Catholic who was in a strong social conscience and identified herself with God’s servant. Her religious and political convictions come always together in her life. We have seen a number of social activists who have fought for social justice and human rights. Their flag to die for comes from seeking meaningful task and purpose in community. Some work for environment, some fight for the marginalized, and some die for their religion.
This was a big change in environment for her. She went from being in a small private school surrounded by people with similar beliefs and lifestyles to a school with more people and a wide variety of beliefs and morals. Many people have their beliefs changed based on the people they spend time with. Karen was involved in many sports during high school such as volleyball, basketball, and track. Being involved in sports during high school surrounded her with people of the same interest. This is what kept Karen’s beliefs and morals
While growing up with her father, her religion was forced upon her, as for their punishment the children were sentenced to “the verse”, in which they were required to right out one hundred lines direct from the bible by memory. She doesn’t seem to enjoy the idea of faith, but there is no doubt that she realizes it’s

An example of how her family values each other is her description of the conventions and norms of her family. They are thoroughly supportive of one another, attending every graduation, baby shower, birthday, and house warming party. Her father and siblings have burial plots together so that they are never separated. Life is lived with everyone being connected and concerned for not only each person’s well-being, but happiness as well. She says her “relatives form an alliance that represents a genuine and enduring love of family…”
The stubborn 14 year-old had beliefs and would follow them, no matter what the cost. Most importantly, she believed that the gods´ rules held more weight than that of the king,
The dark style of Macbeth is full of imagery created from William Shakespeare’s sinister mind, and artistic tongue. Throughout the story he compares situations and the feelings of both the reader, and the characters in the story to rather horrendous images of the mind. Indeed, Macbeth alludes to blood and sleep throughout the story, and signifies the meaning of each in different ways.
Although religion is not the universal opium of the people, it helps many escape from reality. Sister Cecilia wants to become a saint, which seems to be her goal in life
She truly believed that these experiences were unquestionable. She explained how she had changed her for the better and became a stronger individual, and that her prayers were being answered differently from
The speaker is thinking in a childish manner, caught dwelling on how her “wool winter suit scratched.” (Shore 2) and the idiosyncrasies of her mother. Her attention is consistently darting from object to object, unable to relax her thoughts. Further into the text, feelings of doubt and skepticism emerge. When thinking that she is the chosen one, she questions God’s intentions. “Why would God choose me. . .” (Shore 57) she asks herself. The speaker wonders how could someone so seemingly insignificant and feeble lead a congregation to victory? Then, once feeling empowered by the possibility of her being able to defend her people, a tone of acceptance arises. She gains self-pride and confidence knowing that she is capable of interpreting what is occurring around her. As a Jew, she is aware of what her faith requires of her yet is unsure of how to approach them. During her visit at the synagogue, she began pondering about these responsibilities and how she should fulfill them, thus resulting in the chain of events that led to the acceptance of her obligations to her religion.
