The Benefits of Dependence in Safekeeping, by Karen Hesse

Where life is being threatened, it has to keep surviving as an individual and whether it is possible to survive without the help of others. In the book "Custody" by Karen Hesse, the main character, Ladry Sherborne, is in a situation where her circumstances can be imprisoned or even connected to death. In Haiti this is not the only time Ladleys need to take care of themselves, as she takes care of small creatures and must live for poverty. In this novel, Ladley finally discovered that individuals can survive if they depend on certain ones of others.

Karen Hesse was born on August 29, 1952 in Baltimore, Maryland. She is an American young child and writer and writer of literature. Her story often has a historical background. Her book "Out of the Dust" won the Newbery Metal. She studied at the University of Maryland and worked as a librarian. In the latter part of her life, she served as proofreader, advertisement secretary for magazines, and typewriter. I made it shortly after she decided to become a writer. Today, she still lives in Vermont

"Dust" is a 1997 novel by Karen Hessen. This shows that the story of a 14-year old girl living in Oklahoma between dust balls, Billie Jo Kelby, is full of tragedy, but her soul shines in the dust collected in her life It is. This is through her interactions with other characters.

Karen Hessen is a writer who carefully chooses all words. In this book, the phrase "dust settles down" has appeared many times. Once, Billy Joe wanted "get out of the dust", then she said, "I can not get rid of something in my heart." How does it reflect the people's general experience at the time? We encourage students to read the first part of the book "Begin: 1920" again and use it as a model to create your own portraits and portraits of others. A portrait can describe how people were born, how they look, and what they want to do. Please note that Karen Hesse uses words similar to his poem for similar words and comparisons (eg "skull like the handle of a bicycle", "like a rattlesnake "). I encourage students to try using something similar in my own poem.
