Summary:
This chapter dwells on the life and personality of the average Samoan girl. It mostly focuses on the average girl's individuality. Mead studies and gains insight on different girls and their personality and even mentions how death and other mature topics have intruded on their lives without the parents even protecting them or comforting them. It seems the average young Samoan girl must learn to mature early on.
Duiscussion:
It seems shocking that the subject of death is not that big of a deal as it is here. It makes me wonder what else had different emotional charges that they may not see as a big deal. The rest I feel is covered in the earlier chapters discussing the young girls.
