As some of you may know, wow... I start my blog like that alot, anywho... As some of you may know, Mock exams and government exams are coming around right now for highschool students, and being in grade ten, I now have experienced how completely retarded the English government and mock exams are.

For those of you who don't know what government exams and mock exams are, they are 'difficult' (depending on your intelligence) tests of which mean alot of marks in your classes. Government exams are exams sent by the government for the students, and mock exams are 'mocks' the of government exams, which prepare the students for the big government examination.

Personally, it feels as if the government is enforcing their opinions on us. On the test, I was the first to uncover the harsh truth...

Every question seemed to be your opinion; how you interpreted the poem/story, and every answer was MULTIPLE CHOICE! In other words, they're asking our opinion, and there happens to be only one answer!

Is this fair? They are saying that some of our opinions are wrong, are they not? If I say that flower better represents him than wind, who are they to tell me that I am wrong, but I can very easily show them how much a flower represents the guy.

It was a poem of a guy climbing the mountain, how exhilirated he was once on top, and how saddened he was to be back down in the valley. The question was 'Which of the following elements/objects best represent the writer?' The actually answer was wind, while I wrote flower.

Why did I say flower? Because of the following... his life IS a flower. He starts his climb in the valley, just as the flower starts it's life in the valley, yet as the flower grows-and as he climbs the mountain, the feather begins to blossom, and once it's reached the peak of it's growth (the peak of the mountain), it blossoms! Showing colour, hope and happiness! Same with the climber when he reaches the peak, he is excited, and joyful!

Opinions?
