MY BOO RADLEY.

          When I was between the ages between about seven and ten, I used to have a terrible fear that wouldn't ever leave me. So, I wasn't one of those kids who refused to watch scary movies, I actually enjoyed watching them! But watching them wasn't exactly the problem. I never got scared while watching them and I have still yet ever watched one that scared me. The part that I got scared about was after the movie; it always seemed that the scary character in the movie came to my life and haunted me.
          Whenever I watch scary movies, there always seem to be a big window around wherever I am. Also, I only ever watched them at night time because what doesn't set the mood better than a nice, dark night. Anyways, I always imagined that the character was going to pop-up out of the darkness and just appear there, staring, straight at me and no one else. I always tried to hide under the blanket, but everyone already knows that that never works. But hey, it was worth a try. When the movie gets over, I walk down the hall and always have to pass the biggest window in the whole house. Can you guess what always appeared in that window? If you actually guessed then you're probably right, it was the scary character from the movie. Up until I was around the age of ten I had this problem.
          Once I finally got old enough and finally realized that none of this could actually happen, I overcame my fear and figured out that it's all just a movie and that my mind was fooling me. Just like Scout Finch and her fear of Boo Radley, it was her mind that kept her believing all of those stories and other fearful things that she heard about Boo. She got herself tricked that everything actually happened until she came old enough and got the chance to meet Boo to realize that he isn't a bad guy at all. He just does things his own way.

INTRODUCTION.

        Well, I really enjoy writing. I usually only enjoy writing when I don't have to do it though. So, since I'm oh so dedicated to my school classes and grades, I will be posting long and very thoughtful entries on my blog. As of reading, I don't enjoy reading as much. If it's a book that I don't like at all, then I can maybe read about five minutes without wanting to kill myself, it just ends up taking forever. I'm such an awesome English student though. I will enlighten all of my online followers by having such elaborated work on my blog, it will just enlighten them. Just like that.
        I think that English class is to fully understand everything about anything you do. I takes a lot to be a writer and a reader. You have to fully wrap your head around everything you do with everything that English is. You have to understand the literature that you're reading, you have to be able to discuss it, and even answer questions about it in a way that makes complete sense.
        It takes four years of English to be a college bound student because to be in college you obviously have to be a very bright and intelligent person. If you don't understand all the literature you read and talk about in high school then you won't be able to understand mostly any part of college. A lot of college is reading, in every subject that you do. If you can't do that, then there isn't much you can do. For an occupation, I want to make a living in a nice, small town. I myself either want to be a business owner or a photographer. I think that running my own little store in a nice small town would be fun and there is a lot of math involved in that and probably also a ton of English that you need to read when you are studying about owning a business. Just do what you can, while you still have the time to do it.
