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, doesnt entice him at all. He
would rather sitby himself disapproving of what his dad
and brother do. They shoot animals! That certainly strikes
his inner soul telling him that it isnt 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 aletter to Sergeant Joyce
Kilmer. Surprisingly, he gets a reply. They constantly
keepcontacting 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.
