Well, it just sort of came to me while sitting in class, and I wrote an outline for what happens. I suppose part of it is I'm on some level involved in that kind of culture (not really with the hard drugs, though), and so it's what I'm most familiar with. And through the course of the book he gets introduced to various scenarios, and ultimately he comes to the same conclusions about life as I do. Things like, homosexuality is perfectly fine and normal, drugs (or at least, weed,) should be legal, materialism isn't good, etc.
Haha, second term of college just started up for me. It's not exactly difficult, but it's been boring me so far. My Cultural Anthropology professor is such a bore, which is unfortunate since it's a subject that I find interesting.
