Chapter 3: The Education of a Samoan Child
Summary:
Girls' primary tasks in house is weaving. Men try to become matais, but not too soon because it is demanding to always act in that manner. Girls tend the young ones until they're old enough to carry loads, so girls try not to get married too soon so they can have a break.
Discussion:
It's interesting seeing the differences, but overall didn't seem too odd to me. I guess had some internal expectations and this reading seemed to justify them.
