257-271/300-306

To be honest, I found this section of the book very boring. I liked the previous sections much better so it was hard to stay focused while reading the required text. Ralph's Sports Bar "The Arrival" wasn't that great in my opinion. I liked how on page 265 Cindie Marshall made three distinct cultures, Rednecks, bikers, and professional/white collars. I just thought it was funny how they described the rednecks. I am a very organized person so I really liked page 301 that described a portfolio to organize a lot of information that outlines the skills you have learned and the variety and amounts of material I have gathered. The one thing I do like about pages 257-269 is the organization. It is easy to read because it is in several different groups like "unfamiliar surroundings, how do I read the sigs? people watching, talking to TearDrop" and so on. It gives the reader a pretty clear understanding of how to understand the subculture you are studying.
