Daniel Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 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. http://www.textfiles.com/uploads/koalas.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I couldn't have even thought of that shit! I need a creative writing class or something... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce Critter Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 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.

Marblez Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
