being deceased. Once again I asked Zachary the same questions. What is family,
and who do you consider family? His response A family is people who care about
me and make me feel safe and happy, people that are always there for you. My
family is mom, dad, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, grandparents, and cousins. As
far as the examples Zachary didnt agree with example #4. He said they dont have
any husbands, children, or parents. He didnt agree with example #8. He said a
true family needs to be together. He then didnt agree with example #9. He said
they are not legally family. And finally he didnt agree with example #11. He
believes you can only have 1 wife.
Finally, myself. I am 20 years old, and female. I am married. I was
raised by a single mother and have 1 sibling. I believe family is people who are
always there for you, who support and encourage you. People who drive you insane
at times, yet you know you couldnt live without them. I consider my mother, sister,
husband, in-law, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends all family.
As far as the examples the only example I disagreed with was example #11. I just
believe that you should only have one significant other. As you can see overall these
different interviewees had similarities in their opinions of family, but they also had
things that differentiated them. I believe there is no real answer to the question
what is family.
