DEAR MR. KILMER 20 minutes (15 –State the name and the marks) author of the novel Read and understand the question Mention the mini-story from the novel Draft your answer Include evidence from the novel
INTRODUCTION : The novel that I have chosen is Dear Mr Kilmer by Anne Schraff. This novel is about one boy, Richard, who has a soft spot on nature and poetry whereas hunting like his dad and his brother, Gus, doesn’t entice him at all. He would rather sit by himself disapproving of what his dad and brother do. They shoot animals! That certainly strikes his inner soul telling him that it isn’t supposed the right thing to do. Mr. Joyce Kilmer is a poet, a naturalist, a journalist plus he's now serving a military army. How can one be poetic and be brave simultaneously? That has alerted Richard to send him a letter to Sergeant Joyce Kilmer. Surprisingly, he gets a reply. They constantly keep contacting until one day, which rips his heart and the heart of the nation; the death of Sergeant Joyce Kilmer. People get inspired by the story once they read it from the weekly bulletin. Finally his dad accepts the way he trudges, that is not a usual way like any man could do.
