Journal Entry for Looking for Alibrandi In the previous chapters, Josephine has demonstrated a change in both her attitude and mind.

In the subsequent chapters, the Josephine continues to demonstrate changes in her. In chapter 22 to chapter 27, Josephine gets interested in knowing her family better. She shifts her interest in getting to understand her mother deeply and gets to bond more with her grandmother, who she hated at the beginning because of the way she treated her mother. Like in the previous chapters where we have seen Josephine getting to know and understand her father, Michael, she gives the chance to her grandmother and mother and finally begins to understand the importance of having a family. As such, this journal entry will focus on the themes executed in chapter 22 to chapter 27 and examine how the author deals with the themes in each chapter.
