Past experiences have relevant truths for the present. An uncommon work
and living situation from this writer's undergraduate days shows how prejudice and
stereotype can be subtly arranged, and participated in, by the nature of his
surroundings. This thesis explores, through the combination of related past events
with an interspersed imperative address to the reader, the ways in which the writer
was stereotyped by those he served because of the limited nature of their
interactions. This writer, in turn, formed prejudices against those for whom he
worked. The imperative addresses to the reader advise one not to accept without
question simple categories and judgments for people based solely upon
circumstance and situation. / Graduation date: 1996
