What is a malfetto? Why is Adelina given this label? How does this affect her standing within her family?

1. A malfetto is one who is seen as an abomination and one who brings bad name to the family.

2. Adelina was labeled a malfetto because her contracting the blood fever that swept her nation made her look like she was ruining the family's good name.

3. This impacted negatively on her because her father became cruel towards her and she was seen as a misfortune in the family.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
