Quote #10

"Look at all you," Cirone bursts out. […] "You don't get excited at a Fourth of July festival—a huge thing—but you jump with joy at some dumb saint's festa. You act like we're still back in Sicily."

"We don't forget the saints. […] And we never forget we're Sicilian." (18.30)

Even though they are living in America, the uncles are firm about continuing their family and religious traditions and values, which might be different from what Cirone wants but is still an important part of their identities.
