This is so weird when teachers expect kids to write typical sweet happy end stories. Someone decides to write something tragic because it's much more interesting and BAM! The teacher says it's wrong. Wtf education.
I can't help but think that it's exactly this that represses creativity. Throughout our education, we work so hard to fit in, to conform to what the teachers expect and what society demands, because if we don't we get bad grades. We are looked down upon for trying something different, something unexpected, creative and entirely ourselves. There are so many protocols, obligations, rules, demands and criteria, that there is little room for originality and creativity.
Reminds me of the post that had a similar thing - but it was a marshmallow that fell in love with a cup of cocoa, jumped in the cup and melted (=died). Yes, I'm fun at parties.
For the final project in world religions we had to create our own religion and I created one based on Daleks. It took my like 2 years to realize that the teacher probably thought that i was really messed up because it involved human sacrifice and it was basically a religion that was a military dictatorship...
