Answer and Explanation:
1. Both rites of passage depend on individuals reaching a certain age to participate. This age represents the transition from childhood to adulthood and the responsibility that this implies in the lives of individuals. ] despite having this similarity, there are differences between the two rites of passage.

In "medicine bag", however, there is no challenge and the scholarship is passed on to all the boys, firstborn of the family.
