Communication between different cultures can be extremely challenging. Issues like ethnocentrism and different communication codes can complicate matters even further. Ethnocentrism refers to interpreting a different culture through the lenses of your own. Cultural codes are behaviours, words or symbols that intend to convey a message but which are culturally and contextually bound. Although neither of these barriers is insurmountable, they do require a great deal of patience, understanding and open-mindedness in order to be overcome.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
