Koalas

[Daniel]

This essay was written by an 8th grader in Pittsburgh in the spring of

2004. The assignment was to pick an enangered species, and explain why

it's important to save it. The typos and formatting are preserved from

the original.

Whoa. I don't know what to say about this right now....

[phee]

You wrote this in 8th grade didn't you Daniel? Don't try to deny it.

[Vater Araignee]

Ow ow ow my sides hurt

So sad... and so funny at the same time....

[Vater Araignee]

[Daniel]

I would definitely claim that shit if I wrote it! heh.

[Brenda Starrr]

I couldn't have even thought of that shit! I need a creative writing class or something...

I can write and emulate styles very well, and could probably write something similar to this. This guy I work with suspects this isn't real, or rather... it wasn't really written by a second grader. This is possible, but judging from the subtle details of it, I am inclined to think it is authentic. It is difficult to say, though.

you definitly hit the nail on the head

[Fierce Critter]

I strongly believe it's fabricated. Can't exactly explain it, but there's certain ways it does and doesn't "flow" that tips me off.

And I have a hell of a sense of humor, but I didn't find it funny.

[Ginevra]

Original or fabricated, it's very sad.

[phee]

Damn Koala bitches????

[paradox]

[SomeDanGuy]

I found this a very persuassive piece. I think I'll go dust off my koala gun

[lullaby1031]

Hmmm.. Knowing some people in Pittsburgh... I can believe an 8th grader wrote that - lol ouch - pain!

[Head Wreck]

hmm

kids today need to be educated. most of them with womething blunt and heavy i find

[TomCat]

My thought: Koalas. What'd they ever do for me? :erm

[Marblez]

Easily that could be done by an eigth grader.

Remove the curse words and there is some depth to the essay. The kid actually had some facts in there. Sure, the content may be objectionable, but how would you grade taste or opinions?

[ManicQueen]

Damn Koala bitches????

LMAO :laughing

I don't care.. I couldn't stop laughing when I read that. Stupid kids.
