About the summer homework.

Normally I'm the advocate for avant garde theories, and I like the one about Haruhi's intent on time looping is motivated by Kyon's unfinished business. She is known to be an astute observer, and this is a harem romantic scifi teen comedy.

However, adding my $.02 to the obvious and previously mentioned, homework copying is a well established "tradition" for the final days of summer, and Haruhi was hell bent on experiencing all summer traditions. It's inferred that her personality precluded any real friends before, at any school stage, and SOS being the first time she ever got any peer fun. [Just to indicate how old I am.] In Urusei Yatsura there's this part of Mendo about to experience instant ramen for the first time in his life, and the whole hoopla surrounding that. This homework thing for Haruhi is kind of like that.
