Translations of metaphors
That aren't
There
English teachers trying
To get you to think deeper
Than the author
Would have imagined
Stories
Are an escape
Not a prison
When you force an imagined purpose
Upon a story
You are taking away the magic
Stealing it
Because
The interpretation is for the reader to
Determine
Not for the reader to be told
Let the students find their own
Meaning
Not the one the teacher wants to hear
Let them enjoy it
Don't take it away
