Book Reading #33 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 11: The Girl in Conflict
Summary:
Jealousy and conflict are not as prevalent in Samoan culture as our own, largely due to the independence and the opportunity to experiment freely. Rash delinquency was uncommon, and only demonstrated in two girls in the author's nine months there.
Discussion:

I feel like I have a good idea of the Samoan culture now, and can predict how they would act or react in certain scenarios. I'm trying to make the most of a subject that does not interest me very much, and found this chapter to be mildly entertaining. I found the stories of the conflicts to be most interesting.
