Por que o conselho de Haroldo não serve a Calvin (UFPR 2015)

Tira de Calvin e Haroldo em quatro quadrinhos, sob o título "Calvin and Hobbes". Calvin, à mesa: "If you ask me, these assignments don’t teach you how to write. They teach you how to hate to write." Em seguida: "Deadlines, rules how to do it, grades... how can you be creative when someone’s breathing down your neck?". No terceiro, Haroldo sugere: "I guess you should try not to think about the end result too much and just have fun with the process of creating." No último, Calvin responde: "Every time I do that, I end up in the school psychologist’s office", e Haroldo emenda: "Well, maybe not that much fun."

Hobbes suggests that Calvin should not think about the result of a writing task but rather have fun with the process of creating. Why is this suggestion NOT a profitable one?

A) Because Calvin is doing his final exams.
B) Because Calvin cannot be creative while writing.
C) Because Calvin feels he will fail his writing course.
D) Because Hobbes does not know how much effort the process of writing requires.
E) Because Calvin was sent to the psychologist at school every time he had fun with writing.

Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: E

Haroldo aconselha esquecer o resultado e aproveitar o processo, e Calvin responde no último quadrinho: “Every time I do that, I end up in the school psychologist’s office”. Quando ele se diverte escrevendo, o que sai acaba levando-o à sala da psicóloga — daí o conselho não lhe render nada. O distrator mais forte diz que Calvin não consegue ser criativo ao escrever; a tira afirma o contrário, e o problema está justamente no que a criatividade dele produz.
