1) There's really 2 answers to this question. There are contrasting commentaries. One commentary is at the beginning where it says that cockfights aren't about money, they are about status. However, at the end it says that they really aren't about monetary value or status, it was all about the "game" and that your status is only "momentarily, affirmed or insulted".
2)I think that Geertz is trying to educate us. He's telling of experience in the beginning but only to bring you to what cockfights are all about in Balinese.
3)I couldn't find any passages in the 2nd and 3rd readings (lots of information to answer the Q2 on the second reading questions). There were so many different passages that gave a lot of information so it was hard to decipher each passage and look for the ones where he wants you to do, or not to do something. Maybe if I had one or two more examples, it might help me find those passages.
