Also after high school he went to a library the librarian asked him if he needed anything, he said he just wanted to be warm. The librarian said “would you like a book” Gary said “sure”, the librarian told him to bring it back when he got done reading it, this all went on for a long time, from westerns to science fiction. Gary began reading books in the basement of his house. At first it took Gary about a month to read a book, but over time he got to be a faster reader and was able to read two books in one week. As Gary later says, when she handed me a library card, she handed me the world. Gary says “I would have been an intellectual idiot without the library.” Gary was in an amphitheater and a whole bus load of middle school kinds came and and were looking for him. They wanted to know about different parts of Hatchet.

I guess they just write another one and hope this ones better or turns out more successful. They write with such feeling and emotion, that sometimes you feel as if you’re apart of the story too. When I write, I just want someone to read it. I put everything I have into a piece, everything I feel about that particular story, even if it’s not a true story, there is still some aspect that comes from a personal experience. I love to write, as does Sam Ligon. Though I may not have the skills he has yet, I hope to have some close to his one day. Writing gives me a release, a way to say what I want, without actually saying a word because I can write it. The power he puts into his writing is simply extraordinary. For example, “The Bed You’ve Made,” is written as though he was there. Or as if he was the one who was going through that. To combine a story and invert your own twist or personal tie to it is not an easy thing to do. So, with him being able to do that, he gives writing a whole new meaning. I believe that Sam Ligon was trying to say, it’s not about what you write, or that you’re really writing at all. It’s about the fact that you took a chance that you didn’t know if something would actually work out or not but you did it
