Chapter 10: The Experience and Individuality of the Average Girl
Summary
This chapter talks about the characteristics or the personality of the average Samoan girl. Mead mentions how topics that one would consider mature such as death are present in the girl's lives. It seems that the girls have to mature very early on.
Discussion
I find it interesting how the parents did not seem to want to protect their children about mature matters, that perhaps in our society a young girl could not handle. Although it sounds a little cruel, it seems to make the Samoan girls mature at an earlier age. But again, I say at an earlier age because I am comparing this to our culture.
