Pg 331-357

I thought it was pretty interesting when it talked about how it describes subcultures ritualized language events into a category called lore. I have heard the term "lore" but I never knew what the actual definition of it meant, but after I read the pages about it I really started to think about the different things lore describes. One thing it made me strongly think about is baseball for some reason. For example ,I know so many different stories about it, and it was something I talked about with other teammates and even friends in general without realizing it. I think people are able to talk about many things with others when they have some sort of bond. When I played baseball for my school the team had a strong bond, so we could talk to each other about certain things like fears, stories, and etc. The lore is our everyday language as the book describes, and we are just unconscious of it, because we use it so much.
