  1. The author intended audience for this article, and I think the author wants to be show Spanish people culture. Author tells us, how the Spanish girls coning of age from childhood to adulthood by the quinceanera party. Author gave us a lot of information about the quinceanera which were formidable for a lot of people in the world. Spanish spend a lot money on it, but the must celebrate this party because of culture. I think the sources aren't credible of this party. 996631

  2. The author wants to difine childhood into adulthood of some culture, and he decides Spanish culture. Author tells us when the child cross to adult, and how important is for Spanish's parent. To celebrate Quinceanera for girl is very important because it shows that her parents pay attention when the girl is crossing into adulthood. Quinceanera is very beautiful memories for Spanish girl; also to remember the day that she cross to puberty. The intended audience for this article is the author, and the sources are credible for spanish people only because it's Spanish culture, and everybody follow it.
