Chapter 5 - The Girl and Her Age Group
Summary
While this chapter talks about the various age groups of the girls, it also includes that of the boys. The girls will group by age while they are younger, but this stops before they hit puberty. The boys do many activities together starting when they were young, so the grouping by age is a factor throughout their lives.

Discussion
The age dynamics do seem a bit similar the ones we are used to. The different age groups in this country though are mostly determined by schooling I think. But most definitely, viewing people as an age group appears to vanish at some point during college. When the girls in Samoa acquire more responsibility, this seems to be when age starts to fade away for them.
