Manny Week Two: Class Act

While we were watching the Godfather in class, we were given some side questions to think about. Those questions were basically asking what do character's names mean. With some intensive research done, I have found the answers. The name Michael is a rhetorical question and it means "who is like God?" So Michael means no person is like God. The name Santino comes from the word sanctus, which basically means saintly, holy. Finally the name Apollonia means saints, martyr. 

Plenty can be said about the characters by just finding out what their name means.

  1. That's pretty cool Manny. So, could it be said that the meaning of the character's names could also describe what kind of person they're like? Anyways, pretty cool.
    Har har...
