The Passage Persons job is to find and bring to the groups attention
important, interesting, or difficult parts of the reading. Find and bring
to the groups attention passages with especially interesting or
powerful language. A passage is usually about one paragraph, but
sometimes just a sentence or two. Some possible reasons for choosing
a passage to share and discuss in the group are because the passage
is:
important
surprising
confusing
informative
well written
The Passage Person may read the passage to the group or may ask
someone to read it. The Passage Person should prepare the following

I found it interesting that the participants
resisted using terms that conveyed external definition and
identity categories to describe their core sense of self. It is
very easy to rely on things that you have heard about yourself
from others. Personally, I have used terms to describe myself
that have been very apparent to people close to me
throughout my life.

I thought it was important that the study
mentioned that the location of the dots in the identity
dimension circles would be different for the individual based
on the saliency of that attribute to that individual at that
specific period in time. It was interesting that race was found
to very salient to one group of women, but not to another.
Depending on the past experiences of these participants and
the things they currently identify as important, identity can be
framed in many different ways and can change over time, even
short period of time depending on the events in that
individuals life.
