Getting Started on your Essay:
Studies of collecting behaviors find that individuals collect for different reasons, including the desire to define one's identity, to interact with a collecting community, and to preserve culture. Some collectors also collect for the purpose of financial investment; some find that the activity has simply become an addiction (i.e. "the thrill of the hunt"). The following questions may be helpful for defining in your essay the purpose and method you use in building your collection.
