Party Time
        Americans plan parties for many reasons. As in other cultures, many Americans attend parties  for weddings and religious and national holidays. But some parties are especially American. For example, a group of neighbors may gather on their street to eat food,  play music and visit with one another. This is called a block party. A woman might invite a group of women to a party called a baby shower for a friend who is about to give birth. Birthday parties are also very popular. Many parents organize a party for their child around a theme. Rock star parties are very popular for young girls and boys.
