The bright white shined off the car releasing piping heat waves. Diana slumps down into the white mazda 6. Diana Guszak is a tidy 74 year old woman. She drives a mazda 6 with dark tinted windows. She always carries a bottle of baby wipes because “you never know when you’re going to need to clean something up.”Diana said. Along with her wipes she carries hand sanitizer so she never gets any germs and gets sick. Diana is kind of a clean freak who is also a germaphobe. It’s easy to see how a person acts based on a few items they posses in their car. It becomes harder to see what they they believe. After closely analysing and studying her car there were items supporting her beliefs. The bumper sticker on the back of her car stated “Tea parties are for little girls and their imaginary friends.” This shows Diana is against the republican party and supports the democratic party. She shares her thoughts so “people can see who I am and what I believe in.” Diana said. But the most interesting feature was found dangling from the rear view mirror. Swaying back and forth was which looked to be a small copper face. When being asked about this object, Diana responded with “I have this safety, It makes me feel secure and protected when it is hanging, but when it falls I feel in danger and hazardous.” Immediately connecting back to the St. Christopher medals people hang in their cars in the 1970s. This medal was important for Catholics who believed St. Christopher was born to a heathen king from land of Canaan or possibly Arabia. He was supposedly a man of extraordinary size and strength and died a martyr in the 3rd century, after converting thousands to Christianity. People felt the importance in having him in their cars at all times. Diana is a superstitious person having a copper face for good luck in her car.
