    Through the exposition of Raymond Gaita’s non-fiction biographical memoir ‘Romulus my Father’ it is evident that one’s strong culture and heritage can often heighten a sense of belonging within an individual group however in some cases can act as a barrier to belonging to society as a whole. We are shown Romulus’s strong connection to his culture and religion, which ultimately enhances his positive sense of belonging to his original heritage. “Many were Bible stories and their memory nourished his deeply religious spirit throughout his life.” The use of descriptive language “nourished” enhances to the reader Romulus’s strong sense of religion which is inscribed into him as a major part of his moral and ethics.…

    I disagree with this passage because I believe that Martius does understand his mother’s meaning. Moreover, out of all people Martius would be most likely to understand his mother’s meaning and the re-interpretation of societal expectations that it implies. I agree that Martius has problems with self-definition and societal expectations, however, I disagree that he has difficulties in interpreting language. I believe that he has the ability to interpret language, however, he does not care to follow the rules of society and that is what causes him to appear to be dysfunctional.…

    As a result of the narrators "temporary nervous depression" (221), her husband takes her to a secluded estate that is away from the road and the nearest town. In his efforts to help her, he decided that it would be best to keep her locked upstairs in a room that is called a nursery, although it resembles a room for an insane person that was perhaps kept there once before. And although she disagreed with his ideas and believed that "congenial work, with excitement and change, would do her good” (223), there was not much she could say to him directly. He "assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing wrong" (222) and manipulates the situation by making it seem that she is the one that is control, when really he is the character in the story who is making uncalled for actions.…
