I know this is an odd question about an odd topic, BUT!

Can anyone remember doing some coursework on a piece of writing in year 10 english language (last years, not this years) about a guy who said they best way to save money is to eat children?
It was satirical, and i think was something to do with john maybe? I'm not to sure.

in one word - no.

I haven't, you sure it wasn't a mock c/w? What exam board btw.

[Mr.Sam]

I have no idea, but maybe John Steinbeck?

[samsaBEAR]

Nope it was definitely for Year 10 Literature.
Ah it wasn't John Steinbeck. God it's annoying me. I'll ask my english teacher on thursday, but I want to know now :D

probably would save money to eat children tbh.
