Shouldn't think so. The question said "use the quotation as a central idea", so as long as your story is related to the concept of the quote you should be fine.
This is my personal opinion/theory on why there's a high rate of pedophilia among priests:
a) they commit themselves to a celibate lifestyle but then they can't handle it, and their sexual desires get out of control.
b) they were already pedophiles and they think a celibate lifestyle might...
That's a darn shame. Oh well, change is inevitable I suppose.
The elective "After the Bomb" doesn't sound totally disimilar, though. Same kind of cultural era (almost). And they're using Waiting for Godot, which is pretty postmodern.
When I first read it I thought it was a boy as well.
But the poem makes reference to King Lear, which was about the King and his daughter or something, so that suggests by association that it is in fact a girl. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's about Harwood herself.
yeah, that sounds about right. I might have expected it to be even higher.
I originally didn't want to do a short story, just because I wanted to be atypical. But I naturally gravitated towards it.
It's the form everyone's most familliar with, I guess.
Nah, I don't think so. I don't see anything inherent in music itself that can cause people to behave a certain way. Lyrics, sure. But that's independent of genre.
my idea leans towards the sci-fi genre I guess. It's a futuristic, dystopian story... a satire... slightly Brave-New-World-esque.
Not sure EXACTLY what I'm writing. I have the idea, but now I just need to develop the plot.
Yours sounds cool.... I love revenge tragedy.
