Yesterday, when we were discussing the teacher's experiment with creating a "random" poem, I believe the students were led into creating those particular responses. I find it difficult to believe that the teacher chose complete random names to put on the board. Considering the class they were in and the knowledge of the students, there may have been some reasoning behind his decision.
I do believe certain things can be completely random and for no reason; however, there is a certain degree of unconscious reasoning. This goes along with a person's perspective and their connection to another thought. If you are thinking about Religion, or in a class about Religion, the first thing that is going to come to your mind is going to have some sort of connection to the topic. The experiment is a good one, but I think it shows how poems and other such writing that is up for interpretation is only used to reach the reader's imagination.
