Student: I don’t understand why my grade was so low. How did
I do on my research paper?
Teacher: Actually, you didn’t turn in a research paper. You turned in a
random assemblage of sentences. In fact, the
sentences you apparently
kidnapped in the dead of night
and forced into this violent and arbitrary plan of yours clearly
seemed to be placed on the pages against their will. Reading your paper was
like watching unfamiliar, uncomfortable people interacting at a cocktail party
that no one wanted to attend in the first place. You didn’t submit a research
paper. You submitted a hostage situation.
