These are all famous authors (not necessarily the ones in the puzzle below). Perhaps you recognize some of them.

We are born with a need for connection to other humans. Authors help fulfill this inborn need. We relate to characters by rejoicing in their success and hurting with them in their failures. They become like dear friends. Some of them become enemies and we cheer for the heroes to overcome them. Remember Valdemort in the Harry Potter series? We connect with Harry because we admire his qualities of courage and loyalty. We dislike Valdemort because he is all that we never want to be. https://crosswordlabs.com/view/harry-potter-1005

Like the Harry Potter books , other tales of valor inspire us. If you have read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery or Island of the Blue Dolphin by Scott O’Dell, you know what I mean by brave characters who win your heart. We come away admiring them and feeling as though they’ve become part of us. As this famous quote says, “No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.”John DonneMeditation XVII
English clergyman & poet (1572 – 1631)
