What you really need to know about Marina Serverovec is that she is a very determined young woman who seeks to be a good mother to her three little girls. With her husband’s death just after moving to Italy from her home in Serbia she was left alone to begin her life anew. Two things were new – the country and her loving husband’s absence. Struggles were constant but so was her faith. Faith in life, in persistence. She was strong both physically and emotionally, or so she claimed herself to be. She would do everything in her power to give a future to her girls in this foreign place that she dreamed about in her childhood.





Addition of a character that Bria, my small group member, dreamed up into a conflict with Marina (different responses to a conflict):





When she finally arrived in Milan, Fiona Carr was tired from the long flight and eager to get to her hotel room. She was excited though for tomorrow that would bring adventure. This was her first assignment as a journalist studying cultures in different countries. As Fiona got past the hassles and bribery of this unknown world of a foreign airport, she found a cab to take her to the airport.



As the cab was turning a corner, a young woman was crossing the street. The horn blazed loudly instead of brakes screeching, the driver yelled curses in Italian, maneuvering the car but failing to leave the woman unharmed. Fiona looked out her window horrified, mad at the driver. She saw groceries flying everywhere; the pedestrian getting up quickly to recover her scattered goods. The young woman was as calm as it could be! Fiona could not believe it. She yelled at the driver to stop, glad that her Italian was crisp now after six years of study. The stopped abruptly, jerking her forward, as the driver muttered something under his breath. Despite the pain in her arm from the jerk, she opened the door and told the driver to wait.
