Microblogs of Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 1
Summary
In this beginning chapter the author starts to explain the difficulty of her research. She is trying to explain the differences in growing up and the problems with trying to isolate variables. She therefore goes to Samoa to see if there are any vast differences.
