Barbarian Pipe Egotist

What's in it for me? Well, to answer that question, by looking at the people in the book Woman Warrior, you can really learn about others in real life. For example, as Maxine grows up she learns about her culture, such as her mother making her go to the pharmacy and ask for free candy just like back home in China. This shows that in life culture is very tied into every aspect of life. When meeting new people, they might have different views on culture so you really have to respect that. When Maxine bullys her classmate in an attempt to make her talk, it really struck me with the impact that culture puts on us.
Culture is very important in my family. We are very cultural and participate in such activites. I guess this is what ties into what Maxine's family is based on: culture.
