KINDNESS & STANDING FOR WHAT IS RIGHT : LESSONS LEARNT / MORAL VALUES : NOVEL - DEAR MR KILMER

SAMPLE ANSWER

1.      Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Write about an episode that shows the acts of kindness and what it has taught you. Support your answer with close reference to the text.

2.      Based on the novel you have studied, describe an event which has taught you lessons about life. Explain in details how the event teaches you the lessons, with close reference to the text.

=================================================================

An event which taught me lessons about life in the novel, Dear Mr Kilmer, by Anne Scraff,  is when Richard becomes the lone signer of the card sent to the Schemer. Here are the lessons that I have learnt.

This event has taught me that I need to be kind and show kind gestures to people even though you do not really know them .

Being kind does not mean that you have to give people something.  Kindness can be shown in terms of gestures.  Hannah was not really Richard’s friend in the beginning, but when he was given the sympathy card , he signed it. It was a kind gesture by him to show that he symphatised with Hannah for events that befell her. /

However, the rest of his classmate did not sign the card, either they were afraid to sign or they just did not want to./

For instance,…. (pg 31-33)

Richard knew that Hannah and her family would never hurt anyone. He felt disgusted that people pick on Hannah’s family just because she and her family…… (pg 33, 30)

By signing and sending the card personally , he was being very kind to Hannah.telling Hannah that not all people in Turtle Lake are mean. Some are nice and kind. True enough, some neighbours came to Hannah’s house to…. (pg53)

Another lesson that I have learnt from this event is we should be brave and able to stand for what we think is right.

Richard is brave and courageous enough to be the only one who signed the card even though a few of his classmates are scared to do so. (pg 34)…

It is unbelievable that most of the students felt that refusing to sign the card was the right thing to do. They even believed that defacing the Schermers’ property was patriotic. (pg 34)

Richard just ignored the giggling and rude remarks he heard behind his back.  He even volunteered to send the card personally to Hannah.  On his way home, he also had to fight with Abner and Harry.(pg 36-37).

He is willing to face all these just because he thinks that is the right thing to do.

In conclusion, the event in which Richard signed the card and sent it personally to Hannah taught me many lessons that will be useful in my life. I hope I can be kind and also as brave as Richard to stand for what is right when other people do not have the same opinion.

  Transcript of DEAR MR.KILMER CHAPTER 3 Mrs.Hansen tells the class that someone has painted terrible things all over the walls of the tavern owned by Hannah Schermer's parents. She asks the class to sign a card that she bought to express regret for what happen. The troublemakers like Abner, Harry, Blanche and Peggy Mason refuse to sign the card and they warn the others not to sign. Only Richard dares to defy them and sign the card. All the boys are afraid Abner and Harry will beat them up. The girls worry that Peggy and Blanche, who are popular, will not speak with them. After school, Richard takes the card from Mrs.Hansen to give it to Hannah. The two bullies, Abner and Harry, fight with Richard. Richard kicks Harry in the stomach and is about to box Abner. Abner pleads not to box him and promises to leave him alone. Then Richards walks away. On the way, Richard writes a message in the card and sees Hannah at her tavern. The hurtful words " DIRTY HUNS!" are painted all over the wall. Richard gives the card to Hannah. She is angry but takes it reluctantly. Richard had written in the card that lots of people in Turtle Lake respect them and would not do such an awful thing. But now, he is not sure if many people in Turtle Lake really respect them. On the way home, Richard climbs his favourite oak tree over looking the train tracks. He sees many happy people getting into it . He wishes he could go far away so that he would not be bullied for what he believes in. But he thinks of his family and walks home. As Richard approaches his house, Angie gives him a letter from New York.

Transcript of DEAR MR. KILMER CHAPTER 2

In April 1917, America declares war on Germany. Americans will join the fighting in France.It is spring. Richard is in tenth grade. One day, Richard's teacher, Mrs.Hansen , reads a poem, 'Trees' by Joyce Kilmer, to the class. Mr. Kilmer is a famous poet who works for 'The New York Times'.
Mr.Kilmer is Richard's new hero because he is a poet who feels about nature like him and he is brave to fight overseas for America. Richard borrows Mr.Kilmer's book 'Trees and other poems' from Mrs.Hansen. He also writes down the address of the office of the editor for ' The New York Times' in his notebook.
After school, Hannah Schermer cries in the hallway because someone has scrawled 'Dirty Hun' all over her book cover. Richard tells some of his classmates like Abner, Harry Carver and Blanche Freebold about it, but they are mean to her and her parents. They say that the Schermers are huns and they are unpatriotic because they speak German and serve Hun food at their tavern while a war is going on againts Germany.
Richard reads Mr.Kilmer's poetry book in his room and writes a letter to him about his fears and problems. He tells Mr.Kilmer that he is alone and ask him if he should keep hiding his poems or tell everyone about them.
Abner Lewis grumbles that the poem and the poet are sissy. Mrs.Hansen explains that Mr.Kilmer has volunteered to fight for America although he is a poet. She then gives example of poets who died fighting for their country and poets who were bigger troublemakers than Abner to shut him up. 

DEAR MR KILMER CHAP 6

Transcript of DEAR MR.KILMER CHAPTER 6

Throughout summer, Richard and Mr.Kilmer exchange letters. Richard always sends a poem with his letters, and Mr.Kilmer praises it or makes suggestions to improve it. In early September, Mr.Kilmer arrives in France. He says that the soldiers are frightened. The newspapers report that the war will continue and combat in the trenches are getting more brutal. When schools starts again, Mrs.Hansen wants the class to put on a patriotic programme to help sell Liberty Bonds to finance the war. She will play the piano and the class will sing war songs. The class also has to write an essay. The writers of the two best essays will be Lady Liberty and Doughboy. Mrs.hansen explains that the essay writing contest is not a popularity or beauty contest. A few days later, Mrs.hansen announces that Richard is the Doughboy with his idea of writing letters to soldiers overseas. Hannah's essay about making peace wins her the part of Lady Liberty, but many of the students are angry because they consider her an unpatriotic German although she is an American citizen. Only Richard dares to defy Abner and Harry and clap for hannah's excellent essay.

Transcript of CHAPTER 8

Most of the students ostracise Richard that autumn either intentionally or out of fear. He lets it be as he is getting closer to Hannah each day. The Schermer's home is an oasis of love for Richard. He is able to share his dreams and longings, his letters with Kilmer and his poems. In turn, they share with him their time of sadness and anxiety.
In January, Richard recieves a sad letter from Kilmer, who misses Christmas at home with his family. Kilmer enjoys Richard's poem about the oak tree and laments the destruction of the forest in France. To cheer Kilmer up, Hannah bakes cookies and her mother knits a scarf for him. Despite bad news from the front, Mr. Higby informs the class abaout the glimmers of hope through President Wilson's initiative-the Peace Plan to end all wars through a League of Nations. In springs, the tide of war seems to favour the Allies
Richard carves a heart and their initials R and H on the oak tree, but the brief romantic moments is broken when someone flings a stone at Hanna's foot- another remainder of the reality of war and perjudice.

DEAR MR KILMER CHAPTER 8
The school year ends with a picnic at Turtle Lake for everyone. Richard and Hannah share a picnic basket and a growing closeness. Hannah tells Richard about skyscrappers, elevators and Chinatown of New York, the gypsy phrenologists, the many migrants, the dazzling array of food and the horse-drawn carriages.
Pa asks Richard why he turned down the path in the school show. Richard explains that it was unfair of classmates to gang up against Hannah. Ike Lewis (Abner's Father) has accused Richard of siding with the Schermers ,thus supporting the Germen in the war. Pa reminds his son of Ike's kindness and support when he broke his leg three years agothen states that the Schermers 'are not our people.' Richard defends the Schermers. Pa blames Richard's poetry for filling his head with 'foolish ideas.' This makes Richard so sad he wants to cry.
