Also, I wanted Adam and his mother to have a solid relationship with each other that couldn’t be damaged. To summarize, this book was a rollercoaster of emotions that took me on a ride of hurt and destruction that was experienced throughout the life of Adam Spenser

Ruth Benedict’s anthropological book, Patterns of Culture explores the dualism of culture and personality. Benedict studies different cultures such as the Zuni tribe and the Dobu Indians. Each culture she finds is so different and distinctive in relation to the norm of our society. Each difference is what makes it unique. Benedict compares the likenesses of culture and individuality, “A culture, like an individual, is a more or less consistent pattern of thought or action” (46), but note, they are not the same by use of the word, “like.” Benedict is saying that figuratively, cultures are like personalities.
