A recent rite of passage I went through was graduating from nursing school and becoming a RN. To complete this rite of passage I had to complete all the pre-requisites for nursing school which took me 4 years. Then I did the nursing program which was 2 years. To celebrate finishing the nursing program I attended a pinning ceremony which is a ritual where the nursing graduates get a pin that represents the completion of the education required to sit for the nursing boards. This pinning ceremony was more important than walking at graduation. The majority of my classes did not attend the graduation ceremony but all attended the pinning. Once I took the nursing license test I got a card that says registered nurse. I was finally able to call myself

I never realized before this class that these changes in my life were rites of passage every time that I was getting older as a person.Rites of passage have been in my life ever since I was born until now because as a child I transitioned from a fetus to a fully born baby,every single birthday that I ever had and continue to have,and even in the future when I get married or even when I die.All of my rites of passage were celebrated with a form of celebration as every birthday was celebrated with a birthday party, my graduation for both middle school and high school as I went through the ceremonies and parties afterward,and for my religious moments when I would have a celebratory mass and a celebration with gifts after each of all my events.Rites

Think of a monumental time in your life. Your monumental time in your life is probably different to an Apache girl, Dachina, and the main character, Martin, in a story the medicine bag. In Dachina’s rite of passage is doing by doing a four day tradition to become a women. During the four day she has to do stuff like, dance for ten hours straight.

Watching the news is a rite of passage for any newly crowned adult. It’s a sign to you and everyone you know that you’re a grown up god dammit, you keep up with what’s going on in the world. Because of the news you can name like 75% of the presidential candidates, you’re aware of every tragedy going on overseas, and each day at work you get to ask someone if they heard about the *insert feel good story here* that you saw the previous night. The news is making you such a well-rounded and mature human being.

While watching the movie, my goal was to not write any notes in order to focus on details and to keep my mind away from getting distracted. After the movie, I was not able to see a clear image on differences and similarities between the two, especially since there were not many scenes focused on just the families. I started freewriting for as long as I could with an idea in mind of coming up with reasons on why I am not able to compare and contrast the families. Many ideas came to mind and I tried writing all of them down including the silly ones while trying to stay positive From pasts experiences, I work best with freewriting and coming up with an outline with all the ideas that came to mind which is why this strategy was used. I was able

The medicine bag has the most significant rite of passage to me because passing down tradition is very important in my opinion. In the story the grandfather came to town to give his grandson the medicine bag. He is giving the medicine bag to Martin because because it’s tradition to pass it down to the oldest male child. In the story Martin’s grandfather said that once he knows it’s time that he is getting ready to die is when he must pass along the medicine bag. When Martin had to learn what to put in it his grandfather told him that he needs to replace the sage that is in it now and he needs to put iron in it. In the story Martin was talking to his grandfather about why he is getting the medicine bag instead of his father and his grandfather said “My son”,“ He went one after clearing his throat, ”had no sons, only one daughter, your mother. So the medicine bag must be passed on to you.”
