MARIQUITA CHAPTER 4
COMPARE AND CONTRAST "A MARRIAGE OF CULTURES" FROM THEN AND NOW.
Back in the old times it was hard to marry another culture because they wanted for you to just keep the culture that you have and that's about it. The elders didn't want a new cutom added to the chamorro culture. They didn't approve of different cultured marriages. Today, it's approved to marry someone of a different culture. It's mostly based on respect and who's your family. These things are still similar today as they were in the years long ago. Today, it's more accepting to be married to different cultures than before.
For what I heard, back in the old days, mostly couples get married in a young age and also get engaged. This time couples get married when they are older like ages between 20 and up. My grandma told me about her love story. She said she got married when she was 13 years old. Her kids right now got married when they're in their 20's and 30's or up. By reading this novel Mariquita, it says that she got engaged and married in a young age. So I guess back in the old days, they just get married in their young age.

ReplyDeleteTo Marini,
ReplyDeleteI agree. People now a days married to different culture. Now babies are born with different blood in their body. Different culture, style, etc.
