David Vilandre, Director of the Worcester County Young Writers' Institute, writes to Robert Cormier thanking him for his response to student questions on <em>Fade</em>. He encloses three student essays and questions on <em>We All Fall Down</em> regarding Harry's role as an antagonist and the separation of the novel into two parts. A brief mention of Vilandre's infant son reveals a personal connection between Vilandre and Cormier.

Robert Cormier responds to Karen's request for thoughts on a cover design for <em>We All Fall Down</em>. Cormier admits he likes the concept but thinks the figures in the window should be further up in the foreground and comments that the Jerome home has two floors rather than the one shown in the cover design. He shares a brief plea to no longer mention the Boston Red Sox.

<p>John Richter, the Youthful Offender Program Coordinator at the Orange County Corrections Department in Florida, writes to Robert Cormier about his Literature-N-Living class. He describes the class and the work students do including discussion, essay writing, and reading comprehension quizzes. <br /><br />Richter also describes the value of <em>We All Fall Down</em> to this population's need to understand the victim's perspective. He states the students also learned about trust, thoughtful communication, perseverance, and leadership. Leadership was particularly important to Richter because many of the inmates were incarcerated because they are followers that bend to peer pressure. <br /><br />The class also read <em>Tunes for Bears to Dance To,</em> and in their study, they focused on racism, prejudice, false testimony, and forgiveness. Richter states the book helped inmates think about how they will be perceived upon release and how they will have to present themselves in the face of prejudice.</p>

An account of the resource
Robert Cormier's warm response in the form of a two-page typed letter to Louise DeSalvo, dated August 9, 1998, gives her the permission she sought from him in her original letter of July 28, 1998. He responds with admiration for the scholarship exhibited by her in the chapter she sent him. In this letter, Cormier refers to his and his wife Connie's June-July-August summer home: a house on a "pond" about a half-hour from Leominster. He describes the idyllic sounds of the place and Connie's delight in it.

Description
An account of the resource
In this one-page typed letter, Robert Cormier addresses the teacher of a class of students who have sent him their projects. He wrote back to them, and as a cover, included this cover letter to their teacher, Mrs. Anti. Generously, he offers to conduct a telephone conference with the class (and he provided Mrs. Anti with his home phone number) as his schedule did not permit him to accept their invitation to visit. As is customary, Cormier conveys deep satisfaction that he was instrumental in vitalizing these youths' reading lives, and he conveys the greatest respect to Mrs. Anti for creating curricular space in which students could meaningfully engage with literature.

An account of the resource
In this one-page typed letter dated April 14, 1998, from Robert Cormier to Brooke Hausman and Carly Meltzer, he shares his writing technique of "gradual release," that it takes him 1.5 to 2 years to write a book, and that emotions are the engine for him. He advises here that would-be writers must "read, read, read" and write daily because "practice makes perfect." He says that he thinks he has received a lot of correspondence from students at their school, but "evidently" had misplaced it. He asked the girls to convey his best to classmates and that he would reply when the letters turn up.

An account of the resource
Two seventh-grade girls wrote to Robert Cormier expressing admiration for his work, and some of their early confusion in reading his works, <em>In the Middle of the Night</em>, and<em> We All Fall Down</em>, especially his use of non-chronological narrative structure. They also ask questions that attempt to connect their observations of his writing with his personal life.
