Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend” and Rod Stewart’s “Maggie Mae” were spinning on the AM station of my friend Paul’s Earl Schrieb freshly-painted turquoise-blue Karmann Ghia. “When you’re down and troubled, and you need a helping hand…” I felt accomplished to have memorized each song and with a convincing smile confidently sang the…

Losing our friend Star was by far the worst thing that had ever happened to either of us. Trying to stay strong for Harley was hard but she let me break down a couple of times. Some would say that made me a pussy but Star was like a sister to me. When Harley told me she didn’t want to go back to school I was shocked but thankful.

Their relationship is going to be full of mockery of each other but yet full of love and support for one another.

In it, she discusses culture as shared meaning, where context and history give different components of a society social value. Through this process, essential qualities of a culture develop. The theory with which Powdermaker views culture, cultural essentialism, is one which uses these essential qualities as means of identification to form groups of people. This differs from…
