If we look back to the time Maya Angelou graduated from high school, things were different and everyone acknowledge the annual graduation day. From her priest mentioning the graduates in his sermon to her customers visiting the store she worked to give her nickels and dimes as appreciation gifts, everybody within her society appreciate the feelings it brings to see their loved ones graduating from high school. Most importantly, Angelou, along with her family and the community she lives in at that time, looked at academic fulfillment not only as a celebration but also as a sign of hope and better things ahead for their community. There are some evidences from the text that supports her story and experience of how it feels like to be a high school graduate during her time. One of them is on page 13 where she stated that “Oh, it was important, all right.
Examples of these techniques would be the blessing of the Torah by the groom on the wedding day, this custom symbolizes a hope that the couple will follow Torahs teachings as a guide throughout there entire relationship.

The tiara represents the becoming of a woman. The bracelet represents the never-ending circle of life. Having the main ceremony normally in a church, the reception is where the fun begins.
The servants also represent the Narmer palette as a hierarchal scale by holding his sandals meaning he was on holy grounds. On contrast the Akhenaten and family portray themselves as the man/father and women/queen figures of the family. There is no greater dominance from the king towards the queen.
