8/12/25 tuesday 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 that is a part of my culture, that is an expectation for boys, is knowing how to make carne asada. Every boy in a Hispanic household should know how to make an asada by the age of 12. These expectations are similar to the ones for girls because the expectations set on her are expected by her mother on a day-to-day basis. I was absent today.
