(2020·成都第二次诊断)Authr Walter Dean Myers died at the age f 76 after a brief illness. Walter Dean Myers was the authr f mre than 100 bks fr children and yung adults and received many tp awards.

He was brn in 1937 and was adpted by Flrence Dean and Herbert after his mther died while giving birth t his yunger sister. They lved him very much and his mther read t him frm a very yung age. Reading pushed him t discver wrlds beynd his landscape.
He began writing at an early age. He wrte well in high schl and an English teacher recgnized this and advised him t keep n writing n matter what happened t him. “It’s what yu d,” she said.
He drpped ut f high schl at 17 and jined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark perid in his life. Myers began writing at night t pull himself thrugh that miserable time.
In an essay published in The New Yrk Times earlier this year, Myers described hw a shrt stry by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the curse f his life. “I didn’t lve the stry, but I was lifted by it,” he wrte, “fr it tk place in Harlem, and it was a stry cncerned with black peple like thse I knew. By humanizing the peple wh were like me, Baldwin’s stry als humanized me. The stry gave me a permissin that I didn’t knw I needed, the permissin t write abut my wn landscape, my wn map.”
“I write bks fr the trubled by I nce was,” he wrte, “and fr the by wh lives within me still.”
