The Definition of Manhood
At the end of the day, its taking resonsbility and taking you've learned from others and creating your own self. Its about finishing a grueling portage. Its about doing work and getting a result. (is this a quote? If so let's cite it. If not that sounds professional. )
| "after he had gamely, answered a number of my questions about the summer camp to which he was headed, i sprang the big one on him, the question i have asked many boys his age. " do you think your a man?" (645) |
i think if I was the boy on the plane that woud of made me a little nervous and uncomfortable beacuse if some one you dont even know ask you that question and there male that would be a wierd situation

| "What test do I have to pass to become a man, and who will be able to recignize that I have reached that point?" page (645) |
I think that young men are more in to showing everyone else what they can do. Its more of a show to the word than for personal reasson. |
