Questions.
1) Tell about what happen to Hannah Schermer in the novel.
2) Draw a dialogue between Hannah and Richard Knight.

- 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.
