Book Reading #6 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 2: A Day in Samoa
Summary:
In this chapter, the author discusses what a typical day in Samoa may look like. She uses lots of imagery about what each group of people are doing.
Discussion:
I thought this chapter was mildly interesting. I thought the author painted a very good picture with her words.
Appendix II: Methodology of this Survey
Summary:
This section described the methodology used.  The author describes the qualitative and quantitative advantages/drawbacks and how they apply to this study. 
Discussion:
It was interesting to read about what the author did and why.  However, it was a bit dry in my opinion.
Appendix V: Materials Upon Which the Analysis is Based
Summary:
This section described the ages and capabilities of the girls studied. Since the birth certificates were generally not kept, only the approximate ages were obtainable. There are 68 girls from the approximate ages of 8-20.
Discussion:
I thought it was interesting that they didn't keep birth certificates. Overall, however, it was still dry like the previous section.
