Analysis Of The Rock Dwayne Johnson's Culture

In this paper I will be writing about my culture compared to the culture of “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson’s culture. “Peter Maivia was a Paramount High Chief, the highest rank a Samoan can achieve” (Johnson, 15). “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson was part Hawaiian or Samoan and part African American. A Samoan tradition is to eat with their hands, and in the book Dwayne Johnson talks about his grandfather eating with his hand in a restaurant. Someone judges his grandfather for that, and he throws them through a window. I am Scottish, Norwegian, Irish, German, and a little bit of English. My Norwegian culture is that every Thanksgiving we eat these things called ham balls, I don’t really like the, but everyone else in my family does. In the Samoan tradition,
The only difference is that Dwayne Johnson woke up to ocean waves and beach, and I don’t. Also a way he had to live, was he had to walk ten miles to school, and ten miles home. I can drive to school. Things Dwayne Johnson had to go through weren’t too bad, but you still don’t want to go through them. Dwayne Johnson was huge. He was thirteen years old, one hundred and seventy pounds, and more than six feet tall. One boy in his grade that he thought he was friends with told a rumor that he was taking steroids. He wasn’t, so everybody looked at him differently after that. He ended up clearing up the situation. Another thing that he went through because he was so big and strong was that an older kid in high school wanted to fight him. He didn’t back down, but when he got into the fight he got ambushed by around twenty-five kids. I am not too tall, so kids don’t really want to fight me. Also I am not too strong, so kids don’t think that I am taking steroids. Foods that his culture ate were, taro, which is a plant used as a vegetable. They also ate breadfruit, which is a flowering tree in the mulberry and jackfruit family. Some other foods include bananas, coconut, fish, shellfish, chicken, and pork. Samoan foods aren’t usually spicy. Foods that are usually eaten in South Dakota is pizza, noodles, chicken, fish, fruit, chili, and many more. Food eaten from where my culture is ham balls, lefse, and lutefisk for Norway. Bacon, cabbage, and shepherd’s pie from Ireland. Pretzel from Germany, Haggis from Scotland, and roast beef from
