Chapter 11: The Girl in Conflict
Summary
The Samoans follow a very strict lifestyle. This chapter describes the two main reason why girls break away from their groups: girls want more freedom or they are considered delinquents.
Discussion
I might have mentioned this before, but these type of situations are seen in the Mexican culture as well. Girls are supposed to act a certain way and when they don't it is typically because they want to pursue more freedom by breaking away from their families. They can also break away when they start hanging out with delinquents, and soon become one. People who deviate from the norm are looked down upon.
