Great idea! Make something start off real and mundane, maybe extra boring!.!.!.and go off on an insane ride! I don't know if your teach would fall for it, though!.

You could always point out though, that the narrator is telling the story from their point of view, not just a history of facts!. Here are some examples:

The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis is narrated by various characters, and many times they relive the same events with each other and tell the story completely different!.
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is narrated by the main character who in the end you don't know if everything was all just fantastical delusions or if he really is a serial killer!. I believe the former!.
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk the narrator tells a story that later resolves his best friend is his split personality!.
The Fireman (aka Fahrenheit 451) by Ray Bradbury is a story about the future where books are illegal, so history is completely wrong!. The narrator tells the story with a background ignorant of truths!.
