Just wrote this up. I don't think its half bad, but it may be a little....raw. Anyways, feedback is appreciated. BTW : A lot of the ideas are from the novel THE WHITE TIGER.

Woah! Very intriguing ... I can imagine why an examiner would like such a piece...
The story is different! Woooh +1 there....

In terms of style of writing.. I think you  have pulled it off very well. Its a long piece so just be a bit weary of time.
Also, maybe try and explore the theme is more depth by cutting down on descriptive...
Flowery writing is wonderful but the only issue is examiners want writing that is dense with content.

I reckon maybe try and use more symbols.... and you might pull off a 10/10.

^^Yea, I think i just needed to add more of background to the piece and explain his feelings in a better light. Idk, I feel as the descriptives tie it all together nicely. But yea, my teacher explained this piece as a "show off" because its just showing my skills, not so much (there are a LOT of links in regards to themes...but they are subtle) the actual texts. Thanks anyways ;D

I didn't study this and I'm really ill-equipped to mark Imaginative pieces. I wouldn't pick up on -any- of the allusions so there's little point, but it was still a nice read - most definitely entertaining.
