Ah! It is just as I warned my English teacher. I told him that the purest way to write was to write what you feel, and to write only for yourself... he said to heck with purity and that I could write to please myself all I wanted, but if it didn't please him, he was going to fail me. He is rather liberal with the non-high grading. What I've had to do is learn to write what I want while still catering to his
moods, and that is just no fun at all.
So my highschool English class is rather like this reputation system... if I don't write what pleases you, you can all officially fail me.
