In this letter from Anny Lee shares with Cormier her experience of reading <em>After the First Death</em>. She shares with the author how she felt his text was 'the weirdest, most confusing, and unique' book she ever read. Though she conveys how much she did not like the close analysis her class engaged in, she does say how interested she became in the characters and the plot.

An account of the resource
<p>In this article, Mary Shaner explores two pieces - Robert Cormier's <em>After the First Death</em> and Peter Dickinson's <em>The Seventh Raven</em>. Both novels look closely at the plight of children as victims of terrorist attacks. Both books also look more deeply at teenage protagonists who are under pressure from their elders to act in a specific way. Bravery also comes into play - both perceptions of bravery and the need to be brave. Both novels offer a portrayal of terrorists as people, and both offer sympathetic characters. A central theme, shared by both books, is that of integrity, which sometimes comes at the cost of humanity.</p>

<p>Robert Cormier's hand revised draft of his letter to Maxine Shosto addresses her questions regarding <em>After the First Death</em>. In particular, he talks about the ambiguity in the book and says that it is because life is ambiguous. He had mislaid the letter and was unable to get the reply back to her in time for her school report. The heavy pencil edits show his concern with precise language.</p>
