Will my English teacher kill me?

Alright,

It's been a long year. I've done two (coming up on four) out of my seven pieces of coursework, and in both I got 94%. I'm aiming for 100% on my literature 'Macbeth' Coursework (if anyone wants to read it, PM me!). I help my English teacher a lot with his iBook and generally I am on good terms with him.

My teacher will have marked around ten pieces of coursework on the same day prior to mine. So I'm thinking he won't be in the best mood. Not to sound cocky, but I have to admit - my coursework is absolutely amazing this time round. Now, my question is - will my English teacher be mad at me for doing this?

Historically, a character like Macbeth would have been taken very seriously during Elizabethan times. Had she been found guilty of murder her death was imminent. Murder of the King was taken very seriously in Elizabethan times (as it still is today), but this play gives the audience a real appreciation of Shakespeare’s work, and offers a gripping ending – encouraging the audience to buy an extra large £1.99 pepsi.

This is my first out of two drafts so obviously I will be asked to remove it. But will my teacher kill me for it? I honestly don't know. I never do anything like this, hence the "quibble". The other 1400 words are pure genius in my coursework.

Thoughts? I'm rather looking forward to possible outcomes:

Teacher: What is this? *reads out to class, everyone laughs*
Me: What? I never did that.
Teacher? This isn't funny. Are you lying to me?
Me: No. My brother must of done it.

Teacher: *reads out to class, everyone laughs* So, why did you do this?
Me: I didn't do it /bart.

I think the bit about Macbeth being a woman is worse.

Most teachers will take it in stride and laugh it off. You should be fine. If not, maybe you should teach him the value of a sense of humor. Then point out that it wasn't so much a joke as a scathing social critique. Shakespeare would have loved it.

If a student I was teaching English handed that paragraph to me, after in the past giving me some very well written stuff, I wouldn't be mad.

I would, however, question his mental health. If you submit that to a teacher who knows you can write well, you'll be seeing the school counsellor, and I'd say your parents will be advised that you may need psychiatric help.

If that's the road you want to go down, or if you really need some psychiatry, go ahead. Otherwise, stop being lazy and instead of trying to do something "smart", actually write something intelligent.

I've written 7 pages of pure literary genius on Macbeth. Doesn't that count as 'something intelligent' or 'well written stuff' ?

Why can't humor, or wit or social commentary be intelligent? And why must you be crazy to try one of these? Once you head to college, you'll see that the professors there aren't nearly as nit picky or petty as the teachers you have as a teenager.

take a look at the guidelines for writing your paper, if he gave you one, and if he is generally the good-humored type. if the guidelines offer some room for free speech, then go for it. if your teacher is usually the joking type, go for it.

either way, i dont see why your making such a big deal about one line.

if shakespeare did play BF2, i think he would be a spray and pray bunny hopping G36E whore, i'm thinking that a ruff and pantaloons rules out sniper, but medic whoring/PKM spamming just isn't flamboyant enough, he's shakespeare so he's going to want to have an in your face, vibrant style of play. impractical, outrageous, effective. vintage shakespeare.

I realise this is a small excerpt, but exactly which bit is the "genius" bit?

nah a decent english teacher will go hmm nah that won't get you marks.
god knows my english teacher had a sense of humour on the last day a couple of weeks ago he gave us advice for life
1) never drink anything green its just wrong
2)obey rule number 1

then gave us all a photocopies sheet of billy connely's advice for life and read it aloud. when it got to "never pass up a chance to yell FUCK THEM ALL" he yelled fuck them all at the top of his voice and apparently you could hear it 4 classrooms away.

he also makes alot of euphamisms about sex, the english lit anthology has 2 pretty explicit poems, ones about necrophilia which he started a funny as hell conversation about and the others about shakespears wife saying how good he was in the sack, he then started to explain to people exactly what things like "diving for pearls" meant in that context and other funny as hell things for an english teacher, oh and started thrusting at one point to give someone an idea about what 1 part in the poem meant.

he was funny.

I wrote in my social studies exam essay that the Indians commonly refer the English as "Anglo Bastards".
