Author: (Anonymous, it was written during the time of Ancient Egypt.)
Analysis: Based on the information provided in this text, becoming and Egyptian scribe during Ancient times, one would have to observe the most simple things and record them even as a mere apprentice. For example, in the texts it describes large manors/mansions with male and female slaves and servants. Not only what the scribe may see they have to record, but also to be more free and creative. As the scribes apprentice should describe the fine clothes, the horses, and the setting as like an art canvas while the writing records is consisted of the paint and palette. Throughout the text it mainly seems someone is specifically talking to and or teaching the apprentice on what to exactly to record as a scribe.
Summary: The article overall is merely an insight from a first hand account as the text reads in first person. My interpretation of the text is some kind of veteran scribe instructing a younger one newer to the field of this duty. The person uses terms such as "I instruct you to..." which gives off a hint that this account was about someone teaching another how to be a scribe. The author whom is anonymous, also describes everyday life that they may witness in ancient Egypt.
