“Ahhhhhh!!!!” I felt something moving on my neck! Was it a spider? I would just die! “Oh phew, it was only a leaf,” I whispered to myself. Then, I heard my best friend’s voice in my head, Don’t you know boys aren’t suppose to be scared of spiders? I knew what I had to do. I went to the movie rental store and rented Giant Spider Villains. Then I went to the public library and checked out every nonfiction book I could find on spiders. Lastly, I searched my house for every spider I could find and trapped them in a jar.
What was the motivation?

• Getting rid of spiders
