1. Indeed, we can note from the text the author's emphasis on the coming-of-age ceremony and celebration. Hence, the central idea of the text is best expressed by the statement, "Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration."

2. We can remember in the last paragraph the author after<u> </u>explaining a number of specific traditions he then summarizes how they are all the same by saying,<em> "all these ceremonies demonstrate is that becoming an adult is not something one has to do alone" </em>

<em>3. </em>Yes the text appears to be written in an expository format, done in other to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures.

4. We can easily observe that in Jewish cerelebration (bar or bat mitzvahs) it involves going to a place of worship (the synagogue), while in Quinceanera we are told<em> "The celebration...begins with a mass"</em> (which is a religious component).
