1. Both rites of passage depend on individuals reaching a certain age to participate. This age represents the transition from childhood to adulthood and the responsibility that this implies in the lives of individuals. ] despite having this similarity, there are differences between the two rites of passage. The difference is in how this passing rite happens. In the video "Apaches Girls Rite" the girls need to go through three phases of challenges that test whether they deserve to receive the female hood and be considered an adult by their people. In "medicine bag", however, there is no challenge and the scholarship is passed on to all the boys, firstborn of the family.
2. The advantage of the text in relation to the video, is that the text is able to show, through the narration in first person, what the boy is thinking and feeling while the rite of passage was happening. The disadvantage is that you cannot see what is happening properly and the first person narration gives you a limitation of details. In relation to the video, the advantage is that we have a panoramic view of the rite of passage and we have all possible details including what is happening. The downside is that we are not able to know what the girls are feeling about it all.
