LITERATURE : DEAR MR KILMER : OVERALL

The issue in the novel.
Questions.
1) Tell about what happen to Hannah Schermer in the novel.
2) Draw a dialogue between Hannah and Richard Knight.
3) Why did the people harass the family?
4) Why didn't Abner want to sign the card.


  • Richard, a tenth-grade student
  • Mrs Hansen, Richard's favourite teacher (besides History teacher) The school's only English teacher, strict , but cared a lot about what she was teaching.
  • There are 18 students in his English class.
  • The troublemakers : Abner Lewis and Harry Carver
  •  One day, Mrs Hansen begins her class by reading a poem by Joyce Kilmer ,Abner Lewis commented that it was sissy stuff but Mrs Hansen said that Mr Joyce Kilmer , the poet , has volunteered for service in the Army and will go to the front and fight for his country. This shows that he is not a sissy. 
  • At this moment , Richard found his new hero; a poet who felt the way he did about nature and also brave enough to go overseas and fight for his country. 


Chapter 2, pg 22 - 25
This chapter tells why Hannah is being harassed again and again.

  • someone vandalised the tavern owned by Hannah Schermer's parents. They painted terrible things all over the walls.
  • Hannah was upset - did not come to school that day
  • The Schermers are originally from Germany. So some ignorant people thought it was patriotic to harass an innocent German family.
  • The Schermers are actually loyal American citizens. Otto, their son, is now fighting for America in the war.
