For my Writing final project I did an analysis of the author Ben Mikaelsen. In my research I learned a lot about Ben Mikaelsen’s past and how it affected his writing style and his motivation for writing Touching Spirit Bear. It was interesting to learn that even though he didn't know how to read or write until he was around the age of 10, he became a well known author and won many awards for his books.
Ben Mikaelsen was born on December 8, 1952 in La Paz, Bolivia. He was one of six children in his family and his parent were very religious, but they barely had time for their kids, this made him and his siblings self reliant and adventurous. Ben Mikaelsen grew up with a pretty tough childhood and was bullied for being different from all
