A crumpled piece of paper....

Ok, so for homework we were asked to think of 5 or 6 possibilities of what a crumpled piece of paper could mean in a fiction story to show how things can be interpreted in many, many ways (just like the 'this is not a pipe exercise') :

1. I think it could mean that someone angrily screwed it up and were too cross to pick it up afterwards, maybe after repeatedly failing to write a letter to someone very important or significant to them in the story
2. Another possibility is that someone was extremely bored and started to play football with it to pass the time, maybe they are being punished for something they did wrong and stuck in their room!?
3. They could also have walked into a room and found nothing but this piece of paper, but giving the persons' history, are too afraid to pick it up and discover the contents
4. Someone could do what I do on occasions(!) and put pieces of paper on the floor because they find it really entertaining to watch their dogs walk around with pride with it in their mouth, then shred them, to later wait for their parents to come and clear it up :)
5. It could be a really extravagant persons' piece of art work, and they are waiting for someone to accidently stand on it and then sell it on for £1,000,000,000!
6. My final thought that springs to mind is that a younger brother could be playing a practical joke on another member of the family, and when one of the family come to clear up his mess, he jumps out from behind the sofa  and consequently gets told off! 

These aren't the best examples ever I know, and I'm sure that other people from my class will have done much better!
