My Boo

       My Boo Radley was when I was 5, and I was terrified of this fisherman statue by the Farmer's Market.  I was literally terrified of it and whenever we walked towards this statue I would run away and hide in the opposite direction.  My mom told me that it was no big deal and and one day, she forced me to go to the demonic looking fisherman.  I was screaming my lungs out and when we arrived,  I stared at that bearded face of pure evil and realized something.  It wasn't that scary at all.  I remember my mom telling me to walk on up to the fisherman and give it a big hug.  I did just that and she took a picture.
       My mom tells me this story all the time and when I got this Boo Radley assignment, I knew exactly what it would be.  I still walk by the fisherman statue to this day and laugh to myself.  I'm twice as tall as it and I know I shouldn't be scared of it but I have to admit, it is just a downright creepy looking fisherman statue.

Blog Introduction

       First things first, my name is Sean, I love to read and write, and so far, I have really enjoyed this class.  I'm also the kind of English student that prefers to write EVERYTHING because I'm full of new and fresh ideas each day.  Someone who follows my blog will expect to see a dull and blank page with writing on it because I seem like a boring kid.  That's not true.  I love sharing my ideas online with other people because it's different, and a pretty fun way to make the class more interesting.
       I will enlighten the on-line world with my reaction to literature studied in class by coming straight home from school and write my reaction while it's still fresh in my mind.  Also, I think excelling in English helps you become a successful person because you use it everyday.  Every day, you're reading, writing, etc.  English is there to make you even better at those things so you can become more proficient at everyday life.  English is there to make your life easier.
       I'm really excited to learn new things in this class, and I only have three words to say so I can get every assignment done and try my best.  Bring it on!
