Book Reading #28 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 9: The Attitude of the Personality
Summary:
The word musu expresses "unwillingness and intractability," and can be applied to a mistress, chief or baby. It is treated with superstitious respect. For the most part, villagers know everything that happens with other villagers.
Discussion:

Reading how villagers know everything that goes on with other villagers made me think of celebrities and how they get no privacy, although it's not really that similar. Musu seems just weird. Overall this chapter was pretty boring.
