Letters to My Tutor…

My dearest Simone,

I’ve completed a year of self-study in anthropology.  I will likely continue with more of the same for a while.  I will have more to say about that later.  Over the past week, I came across something that I wrote in high school.  I was struck with the sense that it sounded like an angle an anthropologist might have used.  I wrote this during a timed test for which we had the option to free-style an essay in lieu of writing about whatever literature we were reading at the time.  It was popular with the natives back then and it was printed in the school paper unedited.  The quoted material is from the student handbook.  Some of what I wrote then seems useful to me now.

Much love,

S.
