Ok so Mr Francis has told us that the phrase 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' and the picture of a pipe is something to do with what we're going to be doing next lesson... He also said that next lesson we'll be starting work on the Kite Runner. The phrase is French for 'this is not a pipe'. I reckon that the pipe represents the Kite Runner, or any piece of literature, because in the subject English Lit you can say your opinion and not be wrong- so long as you justify your answer. So it isn't wrong to say 'this is not a pipe' because if you justify it with thoughtful enough reasons, you'll get the marks in the exam. And there are so many possible interpretations of everything (which we'll hopefully discover whilst studying the Kite Runner).
That hopefully made some sense.
