Gathering Blue and Messenger tapas Part 1: Interview with Lois Lowry Q: I’ve read that you attended a school without libraries and creative writing classes, without even a good supply of books. What drew you to reading and writing without this scholastic support, and what are some of your earliest memories showing your love of literature? LL: Well, my school…a small town Pennsylvania public school in the 1940’s… had books, of course: textbooks: the standard Dick-and-Jane type of thing. But there were no trade books, no school library, no reading-for-pleasure in those days, in that kind of school. I was fortunate that I had been born into a family that loved and valued books, that I had a mother who read to me, and that we lived within walking distance of the town library, which I visited early and often. I remember my mother reading the childhood classics like Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland to me, and I remember my grandfather—a distinguished, erudite man, a bank president—reading Dickens and Longfellow aloud. Evenings in those pre-TV days, when as a family (we lived with my grandparents during WW II because my father was overseas) dined together, conversed over dinner (no talking-down to children, either) and then went into the living room to read in front of the fireplace…those are almost sacred memories to me.

She talked about some of those memories in a photo presentation to students, showing pictures of herself as a baby, preteen, young bride and mother. During her remarks, Lowry walked the audience through some of her formative experiences, including her living in Hawaii as well as Japan shortly after the end of World War II. Lowry also discussed the difficulty of getting published for the first time and her ongoing challenges as a writer. In fact, she showed the students copies of the many rejection letters she received over the years as well her first published work, a letter to the editor she wrote to a childrens’ magazine as a young girl. Lowry even mentioned her trip to Latin on her blog online, noting, “It is always a treat to be in a school .to be with librarians! And kids! And teachers! And to see the excitement that books still bring.”

Find Publish Community Join ... Books Gossamer by Lois Lowry Book Review: Gossamer by Lois Lowry A Storyline as Delicate as the Title Have you ever wondered where dreams come from? It's a question that scholars have been trying to answer for years. Scientists agree that dreams occur during the fourth state of sleep, known as REM [ r apid e ye m ovement] sleep, but are not sure why. Many theories agree that dreams were manifestations of the unconscious mind. Perhaps dreaming is a method of sorting out daily difficulties. Maybe it's a method for your short-term memories to be converted into long-term memories. Various religious groups believe that dreams are special messages sent directly to us from God or Allah. Young adult and children's author Lois Lowry offers a unique theory, incorporating some of these ideas, in her fantasy novel, Gossamer Every night when we go to sleep, small human-like creatures stealthily move about our homes, gently fingering our personal belongings, to collect fragments of memories attached to each item. They are story-collectors. Then when we have finally fallen asleep, these small fragments of stories are bestowed upon us through a shimmering breath in our ears. Their adversaries are known as the sinisteeds , who force upon us our nightmares. Often they

Monday, May 07, 2007 The Giver by Lois Lowry Today I had an unexpected afternoon off, and decided I would spend it catching up on my reading. I was closest to finishing The Giver and so I started with that. Wow. I knew from about the halfway point that this book would make an emotional impact on me, but did not expect it to be so powerful. Here's the summary from Amazon.com: In a world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness and no unemployment, and where every family is happy, 12-year-old Jonas is chosen to be the community's Receiver of Memories. Under the tutelage of the Elders and an old man known as the Giver, he discovers the disturbing truth about his utopian world and struggles against the weight of its hypocrisy. With echoes of Brave New World , in this 1994 Newbery Medal winner, Lowry examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable society. Gradually Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and pain-free society can be, and boldly decides he cannot pay the price. I read this book as part of my own Dystopian Challenge . (heh, I was putting it off cause I thought I'd chosen it for the
