This was a very touching, tragic story of resilience of a beautiful girl, Carol. She adapted quite well with her change in culture. Because she was bilingual, I think that she was able to adjust to living in a different area.
She was definitely a tomboy, so her befriending three young fellas was fitting. I believe that she was fighting for her right to be herself, wearing boys clothes, having a boyish hair cut and embracing the ideals individualism.
Carol is unconventional which is probably more her northern climate culture from living in the United States. She fights for her hat, stolen from a young boy. She ends up befriending him and his friends. This boy becomes the love of her life, and although this ends tragically. I guess it is the old saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all."
I think that she actually assimilates to this culture pretty well. I was shocked that she was going to take communion from the priest even though she was not Catholic. I think that she really tried to engage herself into the culture.
