Book Reading #33 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 11: The Girl in Conflict
Summary:
This chapter is about girls who deviated from the standard Samoan expectations. The first group of girls described deviated by not accepting their environment and rejected traditional choices. There was no harm in these girl's actions. The next group described are the delinquents. These girls were involved in conflict.

Discussion:

I liked this chapter because most of it was examples of the girls in the village and what their experiences were. This helped me better understand what the author was trying to describe. I think it is interesting to note the differences in the general lifestyle's of all the girls described. These are described at the end of the chaoter in the last paragraph.
