Anderson is also the author of a variety of children’s books. Principal Works Born Laurie Beth Halse on October 23, 1961, in Young Adult Literature Potsdam, New York, Anderson was the first of two Speak (1999) daughters born to Frank and Joyce Halse. Her father was Fever 1793 (2000) a minister who served for a time as chaplain at Syracuse Catalyst (2002) University. As a child, Anderson initially had some trou- Prom (2005) ble with reading, but she soon became an avid reader Twisted (2007) and particularly enjoyed the fantasy works of J. R. R. Seeds of America trilogy (2008–) Tolkien. A poetry lesson in elementary school taught her Wintergirls (2009) about the ability of words to convey emotion, a lesson The Impossible Knife of Memory (2014) that was key to her development as a writer. Children’s Literature Several of Anderson’s experiences during her early Ndito Runs (1996) life would have a significant influence on her later writ- Turkey Pox (1996) ing.

  • Speak Objective: You'll Be Reading Laurie Halse Anderson
    English IV College Prep Summer Reading Guided Discussion Questions: Speak Objective: You’ll be reading Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak as the senior summer reading assignment. Below are questions to help guide you through the novel. These questions are a small microcosm of the items that’ll be learned this upcoming school year as well as the expectations for the entire course to help prepare you for the 2020- 2021 school year and beyond. Use these questions as a purposeful active reading guide (to constantly think about what you’re reading). As a reinforcement, I highly recommend watching the Kristen Stewart film version of Speak, but only upon completion of the novel. Expect a Summative to begin the 2020-2021 semester on Speak. 1. In the first section, what are the signs that Melinda has experienced a trauma? 2. Why do you think Melinda's best friends from middle school turned against her immediately rather than asking what happened? 3. If you were one of Melinda's friends from middle school, do you think you would just drop her as a friend? Would you try to communicate with her? Support her? How? 4. What are the signs Melinda's parents should notice that would make them realize she's had something terrible happen? Why didn't Melinda confide in them? 5. Try putting yourself in the place of Melinda's parents for a moment. How do you think they view Melinda? Why, from their point of view, do they feel such frustration with her? 6. What are some of the ways Melinda has developed to help herself cope? 7.

Plaintiff Brooks Sherman, a literary agent previously affiliated with Defendant The Bent Agency, Inc. (“TBA”), has earned and accrued rights to a residual commission stream worth well in excess of $1.5 million. TBA paid Mr. Sherman his commissions for seven years, including more than three years after he left TBA. In April 2021, just prior to Plaintiff initiating this action, TBA and its mercurial principal and CEO, Jenny Bent, repudiated the commission obligation and failed to make a required periodic payment. 2.

To Read or Not To Read: Navigating Young Adult Literature in the Classroom in the Age of Trigger Warnings and Banned Books Ashley Sell ENG-499H: Honors Project Dr. Alice Trupe Sell 1 Introduction Before the 1900s, the terms “teenager” and “young adult” did not exist and were not considered demographic-describing nouns until World War Two (Cart 3). In fact, American society only recognized two defined stages of development, childhood and adulthood, with the point of transition between the two being the entrance of a child into the workforce, therefore entering adulthood (Cart 3-4). Then where did the terms come from, and how did they obtain such prominence in the past hundred years? According to Michael Cart, The Great Depression played a role in the emergence of “youth culture,” in part due to the large increase of young individuals’ high school attendance (5).
