So my old high school English teacher sent this to me. Apparently this is from a student in grade 11, and it's only coming out now that they might have dyslexia or some learning disability. This is there write up on The Lord of the Flies.

We can tell that you're talking about yourself. It's okay, OP, I'm sure you can work through it. Would you like us to correct your essay?

A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.

There's genuinely no such thing as dyslexia. It's just an excuse for failing education systems.

Little did the teacher know, the kid is actually a STEM genius who wanted to get out of his humanities assignments, so he wrote a machine learning AI to write the paper for him, but didn't have enough time to calibrate it before the due date. The next paper should be better after he gets a better selection of samples and can run them through the neural network for longer.

>the fear sat in the boys
This is unintentionally an extremely literary turn of phrase. I know it's a typo for "the fear set in. The boys," but it shows how idiots can accidentally stumble upon gems.

Sorry man, but that's not dyslexia. That's, pardon my french, some kind of retardation. The sentences are barely coherent, and some of them just flat out aren't.
It's like a transcription of my inner-monologue when I'm having an attack.

That doesn't look like dyslexia to me, and the grammar is comprehensible, he just needs an editor for punctuation and formatting.

It is obviously a mess, but I still like it. Your ex-teacher should be ashamed of not having taught punctuation to this kid
