John lennon

John Lennon said once : "when I was 5 years old my mother always told tells me that happiness was is the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up.  , I said told them that I want to be happy. They told me that I didn´t understand the homework assignment and I said replied that they didn´t the a life." What does assignment means?

Assignment here means "homework".  In a way they are right and in a way you are right too.  You both misunderstood each other.  To be happy in life is not a job in which your essay is supposed to mean.  The question is better to be rephrased as, "What kind of a job you want to be in when you are grown up."  However, the original question is supposed to mean that in a school environment.  You are just splitting hairs like a good lawyer.
