Book Reading # 19

Chapter 6: The Girl in Her Community

Summary
This chapter talks about sexual experiences by the Samoan girls. It describes that the first experience typically involved a girl with an older male. In the Samoan culture, adultery is looked down upon.
Discussion
It seems from reading this chapter that Samoans do not put too much importance into marriage, and how it seems to arise from sexual experiences. I completely disagree with the way Samoans handle this aspect of life because in my culture this is totally the opposite of acceptable behavior.
