Introduction

Hi, my name is Sidney Burton. My favorite thing to do in English is read. I love reading books that I can understand easily and can "get into the book." I will enlighten the on-line world with my input and opinions to the literature studied in class. If you're following my blog, you should expect to see what I think about the books we read in the best way I can. I usually have a lot of opinions on books, so you will see those on my blog.
Excelling in English will help someone personally in many ways. One is by opening their mind to other ideas they hadn't originally thought of. It can then open their mind to help them think of other ideas on their own. It can also help them be more comfortable speaking in front of people from doing discussions. Doing this will prepare them for a succesful social life.
Excelling in English will help someone academically too. You will improve more and more throughout the year, and then you will be prepared for the higher English classes. It will make someone more knowledgeable in grammar, vocabulary, spelling, reading, writing, etc. This will help them with everything and anything for the rest of their lives. Excelling in English academically will make them succesful in the rest of highschool and college.
If any student is expecting to go to college, they need to take English every year in highschool. First, college's like it. They want someone who knows how to talk grammatically correct, and someone who keeps up on reading. They also want people who know how to write, so in any classes they can write up a paper and be easily understood. You don't want to forget anything you learned in English before you go to college.
The meaning of English can be interpreted in more than one way. I believe it is being able to interpret and explain books and other writings, and being able to communicate with other people. It could also be being able to express yourself in writing, and writing about other things easily and correctlyCommunicating is not just talking, it is having a shared understanding. The meaing of English is a hard thing to put your finger on. These are a few meanings it could be, but I believe the meaning of English is however you interpret it yourself.
You may disagree with me on some things I write, or maybe you really like it. Either way, welcome to my blog.
