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.

 Prompt Response: I don't have many family traditions, but one we always do is to all meet together at least once a year, southerners generally tend to have pretty big families and im no exception, so we all gather together and cram into one space to catch up. It doesnt have many parallels to the reading "Girl" besides of course the lectures coming from senior relatives since they had a whole year to think of more things to warn us about.

Summary: today we finished writing our 4 response questions and went to have our pictures taken for student ID's.

Reflection: I learned that sometimes when the admins say something is "strictly prohibited" over the intercom it really is more of a request than a demand, and wearing hot pink wigs is very itchy.
