class today
Hearing from a published author was quite interesting. I have been to many seminars and lectures with major authors both in high school and in college, but never on this intimate level where an author came to a small class and did a discussion. I enjoyed hearing about her passion for the environment, and I feel that when you are so passionate about something it just makes your writing that much better on the subject. I would have like to heard some of her letters that she wrote to major corporations just to see how she expresses herself in an argumentative manner, but I can respect that those are personal manners that she may not want to share.

I agree. You could definitely feel the love of nature that she had imbued in her writing, and it made her books that much more interesting. I've never met someone who was that passionate about the environment, and it was interesting to see how she carried that love into every aspect of her life.
ReplyDeleteI would be terrified to receive a letter from her, though.
