Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Of course you have. Everyone has.  As an English teacher, I have read it more times than I can count and still, I have one part of the book I cherish more than the rest. 
Boo Radley is a scary recluse who communicates with the kids by leaving a variety of mundane items in a hole, in an old tree, and in doing so, builds a connection. Boo Radley ends up rescuing the children from the villain. You see, although the town did not see him as an upright citizen, he was. I will fight for my community the way Boo Radley fought for the youngsters.  Boo Radley understands the reason I love to leave rocks.
