Sorry for the lateness, but it is ironic because of the following reasons: Sal likes chickens, her mother likes chickens, the chicken's name is Blackberry, and blackberries remind Sal of her mother. Try using your own words to make complete sentences. Hope this helped!

In chapter 40, Sal receives a gift chicken from Ben. Chickens are Sal's favorite animal. However, this is not the only thing that is interesting about the chicken. The name of the chicken is Blackberry, which is interesting for two reasons. The first one is that blackberries remind Sal of her mother, and the feeling of fondness and sweetness associated with her. The irony, however, is that the chicken also reminds her of kissing, based on the story of the girl who claimed that kissing tasted like chicken. When Sal kissed a tree, she also felt a trace of blackberry, which reminded her of her mother.

Something can reach the whole world due to the internet and social media. Examples of culture in our society can be seen through holidays like the 4th of July or Saint Patricks day and they all celebrate something cultural that people should remember. Culture reminds people about how people use to act with each other and what was popular and interesting like the invention of the lightbulb by Thomas Edison or the space race in the 60s. Culture can also be seen through music and arts like Leonard divinci famous painting of Mona Lisa,The starry night,and american gothic. More modern cultural impact examples are Star Wars,Wizard of Oz,and American idol. Many people remember there favourite characters and remember quotes from movies. It affects individuals by them hearing these references and remembering perhaps the time they watched that movie or that event in time and allows them to communicate there thoughts. So in answer to the question how does it affect individuals. It affects them by having people accept information and incorporate it into there lifestyles.
