Dear Mr. Kilmer by Anne Schraff is a literature component for secondary schools and is compulsory for all students to read it. Its an interesting read and im thankful for this opportunity. I got so caught up reading Dear Mr. Kilmer that i read it in class while my teacher is teaching. If you have yet to read this book, please do so as it is as interesting as it can get.
Richard is not any typical boy who likes sports, being popular. He despise killing animals and enjoys writing poems, although he kept it a secret. After listening to Mrs Hansen reciting a poem written by none other than Mr. Kilmer himself, an inspired Richard decided to write a letter to Mr Kilmer. Soon, they became friends and would write to each other. However, Mr. Kilmer died in the war. Richard became sad and inspiration struck him into writing a poem. After reciting it to his friends, he decided to publish. Pa, Richard's father, whose brother died in the war, opened up to Richard and they became closer as a father and a son.
Dear Mr. Kilmer is a touching and interesting book. It has taught me a lot of things.
