They use various sorts of rhyme (internal or at a line-stop) and rhythms that match the motion of their subject matter. I've worked with traditional verse: songs, carols, quatrains, lyrics with refrains, and so on. They follow the seasons of the liturgical year from Advent to the green season of Ordinary Time. The second part of the book, \"Leroy James Hopson,\" is written in free verse in order to allow for the development of a narrative with characters and a setting, an atmosphere and a plot. The entire story takes place during the night of November 10, 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalter Wangerin Jr. has won the National Book Award, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book of the Year Award, and several Gold Medallion Awards, including best fiction awards for both \u003ci\u003eThe Book of God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePaul: A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e.
