Shayne+Journal+1+NEW

I chose this journal because it was the first one that I wrote. I wrote it on a plane to Florida which was a huge challenge in itself. It will also show how, if at all, my writing has changed through out the year. When Gerrard was a seven years old he had the opportunity to go to a Bozo the Clown show. He was quickly disappointed to find out that half of the show was pre-recorded and that Bozo himself was too sick to perform on that day. He still had something to look forward to however, “The Bozo Bucket Game”. The chance that Gerrad might be chosen to go down and play in the game in front of millions of viewers. Gerrards defining moment came when the end of the show finally came around. He was waiting through a waste of time to get to the point when the “magic arrows” were shot into the crowd. He saw on the TV monitor that one of them had hit him. He stood up in such excitement and ran half way down the steps that he failed to notice that his friend had actually been chosen because it was his birthday. Gerrard went back to his seat and sat down. He was crushed to the point where he didn’t even want to have cake.
