In three to four pages, describe a rite of passage that you have gone through. Be sure to apply Van Gennep's three stage model to your experience, and to show how particular cultural values or meanings were expressed through the ritual's form.

If you have difficulty writing this kind of paper in a clear, consise, well-organized, and grammatically correct fashion, be sure to make an appointment with the kind tutors at the writing center.
