I suppose as your writing teacher I’m supposed to give you an assignment. So for that assignment I would like you to write something.
Is that it?
Yes.
Just, anything?
No, something. Something in particular.
What does it need to be about?
Like I said, something.
Well, if there’s basically no rules, can I just sneeze on a piece of paper and turn it in?
This isn’t art class–there are rules here. I try to keep it simple, but you people keep trying to be creative and keep messing it up, so I don’t add any more rules. I’ve had many students try to write about anything and it never works out.
Okay, so how long does it need to be?
Write until you think I’m convinced, then stop.
Why are you going to throw a pie at that man’s face?
It’s for charity.
But still, you’re executing this man’s comfort.
He gave it up willingly.
Just because someone’s willing to sacrifice themselves, is it right for you to carry out their wish? What if he isn’t of sound mind?
Then this ought to wake him up.
I’m just saying—asking—what gives you the right to make that call?
Probably nothing—but it’s fun.
