Hey I'm Nate. I grew up in East Greenville a little town about 25 minutes from KU. I enjoy things such as listening to easy listening music, backpacking, throwing frisbee and drinking kool-aid. I graduated high school from Upper Perk in 05' and decided to take a year off, after a full year of accomplishing absolutley nothing I decided to give the whole college thing a whirl...so here I am.
Williams paints a great but somewhat unnecessary mental picture in the first part of his life story, but it ties in with his main ideas of what his culture consist of. Culture can be what a person or a society makes it to be. Culture Is Ordinary is mentioned several times making me believe that he stronly believes that all cultures no matter what race or ethnic background are based off the same guidlines.

Nate mentioned in his blog how Williams continued to say culture is ordinary many times throughout the essay. I noticed the repeated phrase also and came to the assumption that Williams did believe that all culture was ordinary no matter your background.+
I think it was necessary for William's to give us some background information on himself jsut so we know where he was coming from and how he came to the conclusion of culture being ordinary, which he does state multiple times.
