Describe a meaningful family tradition unique to your culture and explain how it mirrors or contrasts with the cultural identity themes of expectations and roles in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

 A family tradition related to my culture is to celebrate the 15th birthday of our female family members. It marks a celebration of the female from childhood to womanhood which shows to everyone that she is ready act like a young lady. A way this celebration can relate to the story is that both young women becoming an adult. Summary: Finished the 4 questions from Monday and went to the gym in order to take pictures. 

Reflect on how your cultural heritage shapes your daily expectations, inspired by "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

These foods are made birthdays and fall and winter Holliday's like Christmas and new years.  Summary- We read Girl by Jamaica Kincaid and anaylzed and answered questions about it.
