Throughout the unit I’ve read several stories that all have a rite of passage in them. I’m picking three from the stories “The Scarlet Iris,” “On Turning Ten,” and “My Brother’s keeper.” Firstly I’m going to discuss the rite of passage in “The Scarlet Iris.” In "The Scarlet Ibis", the rite of passage that the narrator went through was the death of his brother.

Rites of passage, is a term first coined by Arnold Van Gennep in 1909 to describe the universal transition of adolescents by maturational progression, a phenomenon that is cross-cultural (Gibson, 2007).
