The teacher might be photocopying the short story to provide extra reading material for students who finish their regular assignments early. This helps to further engage them and expand their literary exposure. Also, it could be for a special unit or theme in the class, where the short story fits in perfectly and the teacher wants every student to have a copy for in - depth study.
It depends on the circumstances. If it's for personal use in teaching, like making a few copies for classroom discussion and it falls under fair use provisions, it can be legal. But if it's for widespread distribution without permission from the copyright holder, it's likely illegal.
Some teachers may be submissive because they have a strong sense of respect for authority. They grew up in an environment where following the lead of those in charge was the norm. So, in a school setting, they continue this behavior, whether it's towards the principal, senior teachers, or even the parents who have influence in the school community. This sense of respect makes them more likely to be submissive and follow instructions or suggestions without much hesitation.
One reason could be workload. Just like in the previous examples, the teacher might be reluctant because of too much work already but willing due to the students' needs. For example, if there are students who are falling behind and need extra attention, the teacher may feel responsible even if it means more work for them.
One possible reason could be that the student wants better grades. They might think that by blackmailing the teacher, they can force the teacher to give them a higher mark. Another reason could be that the student has some personal issues or problems at home, and they are acting out in an inappropriate way, thinking that blackmailing the teacher will solve their problems.
One reason could be a mistake the teacher made, like the wrong grading as in the previous example. Another could be some personal information or past event that the blackmailer got hold of, such as a teacher's past academic failure or an embarrassing photo from their youth.
One reason could be a lack of inspiration. Maybe the writer started with a great idea but then couldn't think of how to develop it further. Another reason might be time constraints. If the writer has too many other commitments, they may have to abandon the short story. Also, if the writer gets negative feedback during the writing process, it could lead to them giving up on it.
One possible theme could be dedication. Teachers are often dedicated to their students' learning, and this might be shown in the story.
One reason could be a lack of planning. If the writer didn't plan the plot or characters in advance, the story might be all over the place. Another reason is weak writing skills, like not being able to use proper grammar or vocabulary.
One reason could be the weather. Just like in the story I mentioned earlier where the rain spoiled the picnic plan. Another reason might be a sudden illness or accident, like when someone in the family gets sick and you have to change your travel or event plans. Also, work - if your boss gives you an urgent task, you may have to change personal plans.
One possible reason could be lack of sleep. Just like in the case of Jack who had a confused mind after a long night of drinking, lack of proper rest can muddle the brain. Another reason might be stress. High levels of stress can make a person's thoughts jumbled up, similar to how Lily was confused in the forest perhaps due to some underlying stress that made her lose her way mentally. Also, sudden shock or trauma can cause confusion. For example, if someone experiences a near - death experience, their mind might be in a state of chaos for a while.
