What is your take away lesson from Dead Men Do Tell Tales? Could you be a forensic anthropologist? Why or why not?
I think that this book is a great resource for debunking common misconceptions about dead bodies and forensic investigations. Not only does it remove the general dark, evil feeling of death from a body, and properly points all that negativity at the murder and the act of dying itself, but it also analyzes crimes and various mutilations and deathly causes in a way that almost interests the reader, so that they may not fear death, but try to understand it. However, I do not think that I could be a forensic anthropologist largely due to the fact that dealing with bodies everyday, while necessary and not as bad as one would think, would put me into a cynical and probably depressed state that I would rather not live out. Although I would not mind working with one, because I'm sure anyone interested in this field must be an interesting person.
