She’s a well-known American author of children's and young adult novels. In 2010, she earned the American Library Association's Margaret A. Edwards Award for her commitment to young adult literature. She first gained attention for her novel Speak, posted in 1999. She is a best-selling author in the New York Times. 

Her books have sold over 8 million copies worldwide. SHOUT is one of her most recent books, a debut novel about surviving sexual assault as a teen, it has received critical praise and is Laurie's eighth New York Times bestselling book, it was released in 2019. She started her career as a freelance writer for The Philadelphia Researcher. Anderson also began writing children's and young adult novels at this time. Laurie's first picture book, Ndito Runs, was published in 1996. She was a victim of rape herself and I can imagine that was the reason she wrote the book, to spread awareness. She kept quiet all these years, but finally decided to do something about it. ]]> 2022-12-12 13:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2417739532 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2419169761 As soon as we start reading SHOUT, we know that the book is based on a personal experience. Laurie's best-selling books are based on her rocky journey to healing from her traumas. Writing about her experience is her way of spreading awareness, and making people realize the reality we live in. Her writing is touching because it talks about real social problems happening worldwide. Her stanzas in her writing lately have been reflecting the abuse she suffered in the past. Seeing how vulnerable she gets in her writing makes it even more special. I don’t know about you, but I love to read books about personal experiences because I love when they’re relatable. Laurie uses a lot of Metaphors and hyperboles in her writing to make a bigger impact. Hyperboles help emphasize the heaviness of the topic

The authors style can be perceived as dramatic. Laurie has an odd way of expressing her feelings but always manages to sell her story(quite literally).She talks about deep topics in such a calming way, its her way of copying. Her style is a picture o realism, calmness and dark. ]]> 2022-12-13 13:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2419169761 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2419201585 Laurie’s life has been a roller coaster of Emotions. After her trauma she has a falling out but later started to pull herself together bit by bit. The decision to write about her trauma led her to where she is right now. Instead of collapsing and overthinking her trauma, she rose above it and showed resilience. She has a strong character that has allowed her to overcome everything bad in her life. 

We can see the pain in her writing, The abuse she suffered shaped her writing because it was from a personal perspective. But, as it keeps going we feel some sort of hope, Character development. Her writing takes us through her Journey of healing. We see how it starts a caterpillar and blossoms into a butterfly. ]]> 2022-12-13 13:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2419201585 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421408719 2022-12-15 04:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421408719 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421844634 2022-12-15 13:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421844634 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421997287 2022-12-15 15:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2421997287 cristinaforteza5 https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2422151501 2022-12-15 17:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinaforteza5/v9gftfycuvptf41z/wish/2422151501
