Tiffany TaylorAnna Quindlen is an excellent person. She talked to our class about different things about her writing. I also loved when she said her favorite food groups were cheese and chocolate. We have something in common because I love to eat cheese as well. When I asked her the question about when in life she felt most alone, I saw that her had gone down when she said the time her mother had passed away when she was nineteen and she had to take care of her other sibblings.
Anna is a great person. She has good advice for people that want to be writers. Anna said when it comes to writing you just have to do it. I love when she talked about her kids, that her two sons are writers. Anna said she is very close to her father. I can see that her mother was very important in her life. It was funny when she said she didn’t have an IPod, but it is also great that she does love listening to music when she writes. She said she doesn’t miss regularly writing columns.
I love the fact that when she spoke about the York Street Project, she also talked about how Kenmare started out with 30 female students and ended up with 6 that first term. The nuns asked why they had lost so many students. They found out that women had difficulties in having a place to live and they also were having problems with child care for their kids. Today, YSP has St. Joseph’s Home that helps women who need a place to stay with their children. Kenmare is a High School for women who are dropouts . This school will provide you with an education so you can be able to graduate.
I also was excited to go home to talk about her to my family. I told them that Anna is a famous writer. I also was happy to meet her and interview her.
When I asked her my last question, I stumbled over my words. I don’t know what happened because I was doing well. I know she is a respectful person because she looked us eye to eye when we asked her questions. I think that’s what got me nervous, especially since she is a famous writer.
