Wolff expresses frustration at the limits of his self-identity as a boy. In other words, he as a man can in no way help himself as a boy; history cannot be rewritten. He writes:
“But the man can give no help to the boy,
not in this matter nor in those that follow" (Wolff 27).
not in this matter nor in those that follow" (Wolff 27).
Imagine what it would be like if you COULD go back and help your childhood self. What do you wish you knew then that you know now? What would you say to yourself as a child if you had the chance?
Write a letter to your 10-year-old self. You can offer advice, warnings, reassurances – whatever you think would have been helpful to you as a 10-year-old.
Your letter should be written in first person. It should be detailed and thorough. It needs to be multiple paragraphs and well organized. Employ correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. If have any questions, don't hesitate to ask a teacher.
