Dear Mr. Kilmer BI to BM

The novel that I have read is Dear Mr. Kilmer. There are many lessons that I have learnt. One of them is the importance of friendship. In the story, Richard develops a friendship with Hannah. He first becomes close to her when he notices that the cover of her book has been scrawled with the words 'Dirty Hun'. As a friend, he stands by her and supports her. When she declines the role of Lady Liberty, he tries first to talk her out of them. After listening to her explanation, he accepts it and decides to decline the role of Doughboy. When Hannah hears this, she decides to accompany him to see Mrs. Hansen about it. She too offers him her support. Friendship is also important because when you have a true friend, you do not need anyone else. When Richard stands by Hannah, the students make malicious remarks. But it does not bother him. As a matter of fact, he becomes even closer to her. Even Hannah says that she does not feel alone with a friend like Richard. With friendship, you do not need other people. Friendship is also important because they are there when you need emotional help. Hannah understands Richard better than the rest. She understands his love for poetry and his friendship with Joyce Kilmer. When Mr. Kilmer is killed in the battle, she tells Richard about it and sympathises with him. Richard too understands Hannah's worry. He knows what she must b e feeling as her brother Otto is in the war in Europe fighting for Americans. He knows what she is going through. Friendship helps us get through difficult times.

Novel yang telah saya baca ialah Dear Mr. Kilmer. Terdapat banyak pengajaran-pengajaran yang saya telah pelajari. Satu daripadanya ialah kepentingan persahabatan. Dalam cerita ini, Richard membina satu persahabatan dengan Hannah. Dia pertama kali menjadi rapat dengan Hannah bila dia mendapati kulit hadapan buku Hannah telah diconteng dengan perkataan ‘Dirty Huns’. Sebagai seorang sahabat, dia berdiri di sisi dan menyokong Hannah. Bila Hannah menolak peranan sebagai ‘Lady Liberty’, Richard pada mulanya berbincang dengan Hannah mengenai hal tersebut. Selepas mendengar penerangan dari Hannah, Richard menerimanya dan bercadang untuk menolak peranan sebagai Doughboy. Bila Hannah mendengarkan hal ini, dia memutuskan untuk mengiringi Richard berjumpa Mrs. Hansen. Hannah juga menawarkan sokongannya terhadap Richard. Persahabatan juga penting kerana bila anda mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sejati,anda tidak memerlukan orang lain. Apabila Richard berdiri teguh di sisi Hannah, pelajar-pelajar lain mengeluarkan kata-kata nista. Namun, ini tidak menggangu mereka. Sebaliknya, Richard menjadi lebih rapat dengan Hannah. Malah Hannah mengatakan bahawa dia tidak merasa keseorangan dengan seorang sahabat seperti Richard. Dengan persahabatan, anda tidak memerlukan orang lain. Persahabatan juga adalah penting kerana ianya ada di situ bila anda memerlukan sokongan emosi. Hannah memahami Richard lebih daripada yang lain. Dia memahami cintanya kepada puisi dan persahabatannya dengan Mr. Joyce Kilmer. Apabila Mr. Kilmer terbunuh dalam peperangan, Hannah memaklumkan tentangnya kepada Richard dan dia turut bersimpati dengan Richard. Richard juga memahami tentang kerisauan Hannah. Richard mengetahui apa yang Hannah rasai kerana abangnya Otto sedang berada di medan perang di Eropah berperang untuk Amerika. Richard tahu apa yang sedang dia lalui. Persahabatan membantu kita mengharungi waktu-waktu sukar.
