Book Author: Margaret MeadChapter 10: The Experience and Individuality of the Average Girl
Summary
In this chapter, Mead talks about the experience and individuality of the average girl. Mead begins by discussing how at a young age, children are exposed to various experiences (like death) that elders seem to consider as normal. There is at a very young age a transformation of individuality relative to one's experience. Mead then talks about multiple girls and their respective stories.

This chapter was not particularly interesting to read for me. Perhaps I'm having a hard time relating this to our subject. However, as always, Mead does not fail in providing verbose detail about her interaction with the Samoan girls.
