Auto-biographical list-making is a pathway to rediscovering fun and poignant memories, visualizing dreams for the future, and keeping a record of books, films, music, and all your other experiences that made you who you are today. If I asked you to list memorable objects inside your childhood home , or the places youve lived , a colorful assortment of memories would surface that are unique to you. Its your LISTOGRAPHY. I have been creating lists for years and I began to notice that most of them were autobiographical in nature. I would often come across a memory and tell myself Ive really got to write that down before its gone. Making a list augments your brains storage capacity. If its in a list, then its never lost. And once youve started the list, its easy to add to over the years. A completed list on, lets say, songs that remind you of loves from your past might bring up feelings and memories in the unique way a photograph can and sometimes even more so. I cant make a list on my favorite games from childhood without remembering what it was like to hit the white cubes nervously out of the Dont Break The Ice game or my neighbors dad conducting Simon Says. So autobiographical listing can ignite our memory. All of these pieces make a map of who we are: a LISTOGRAPHY . Even a to do list can be autobiographical. Ive used practical lists over the years to help inspire me and remind me to get things done. Making a list of all the countries I want to visit reveals a lot about me and helps encourage me to make it happen. Some lists memorialize. I once made a list of things I dont want to forget about my grandma . As I sat there thinking of things to list, I remembered much about her that might have slipped away. People often think of lists as boring to do lists or grocery lists. Not so! List making can help you reimagine your life, make changes, and alter brain chemistry. If you make a list of what you are most grateful for , or your favorite things to smell , or your happiest memories , your emotions will shift. I also used lists...

-Titulo Original : Elena Vanishing A Memoir-Fabricante : Chronicle Books-Descripcion Original: As heard on NPRs Diane Rehm Show! Seventeen-year-old Elena is vanishing. Every day means renewed determination, so every day means fewer calories. This is the story of a girl whose armor against anxiety becomes artillery against herself as she battles on both sides of a lose-lose war in a struggle with anorexia. Told entirely from Elenas perspective over a five-year period and cowritten with her mother, award-winning author Clare B. Dunkle, Elenas memoir is a fascinating and intimate look at a deadly disease, and a must read for anyone who knows someone suffering from an eating disorder. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-This poignant memoir, cowritten by Elena Dunkle and her mother, Clare, describes the young womans battle with anorexia, which spanned several years. Opening just before her senior year of high school, Elena relates her experiences in and out of treatment facilities in often stark detail. A rigidly self-disciplined overachiever, the author is critical, both of herself and those around her, and some readers may find her overly judgmental. Because the book only focuses on several periods when she relapsed, it often leaps forward several years, giving it a disjointed feel, and many figures in Elenas life are underdeveloped. However, this young author displays promise. Written in the present tense, her narrative presents an almost frantic sense of immediacy that is well suited to the subject matter, as Elena describes difficult therapy sessions, her sometimes strained but always loving relationship with her mother, friendships with other patients, and events in her life that contributed to her disorder. Her angry, self-critical inner monologue (The feeding pump is swelling you up. Youre not anorexic! Who do you think youre fooling?) effectively conveys her skewed perspective in a manner similar to Laurie Halse Andersons Wintergirls (Viking, 2009). Fans of that title and Alyssa B. Sheinmels Stone Girl (Knopf, 2012) will appreciate this painfully honest look at a young womans struggle. VERDICT A solid addition to memoir collections.-Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal Review I was stunned by Elena Vanishing and have been thinking and talking about it ever since I finished it. Without glamorizing it, Elena deals frankly and honestly with an extreme disease, and leaves me with a sense of hope and strength.-Lily Myers, slam poet and author of Shrinking Women Haunting and intimate. adds a new dimension to how we look at eating disorders.-School Library Connection Moving snapshots of a young womans struggles with anorexia nervosa.--Kirkus Reviews This authentic, painful story adds a valuable firsthand perspective on eating disorders.--Publishers Weekly Must-read for anyone whose life has been affected by an eating disorder.--TeenReads A painfully honest look at a young womans struggle.--School Library Journal About the Author Elena Dunkle spent her teenage years exploring the German countryside and considers Germany her second home. She was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at the age of seventeen and has always wanted to shed a light on her experiences with this complicated and misunder¬stood disorder.
