With great compassion, the family brings him inside.

Mr Schermer gently shows him the headline "Beloved American Poet Killed in Battle" in the newspaper. Richard gazes at the smiling face for the first time after his death. The article recounts the circumstances of Kilmer's death and how his comrades bury him in France.

Richard is too shocked to cry and realises that the unposted letter to Kilmer's is still in his pocket. Reality strikes and the tears begin to well up, He thanks the Schermers and runs to his favourite oak tree where he cries freely.

He is filled witrh hopelessness as he ponders the unanswered question on what poets and poetry can do to make the world a better place. He realises that poets are unable to stop war.

When he returns home he composes a poem In Memory of Sergeant Joyce Kilmer. It has four verses expressing sadness over the loss of a world of rhyme and song he had treasure.

Richard visits the schermers the next day and shares this poem with them. They are all touched by his beautiful poetic piece. Mr Schermer insists that more people should read the poem as so many families in Turtle Lake have lost their loved ones. Richard 's poem would mean a lot to local residents, espicially because it is 'coming from one of their own.

Despite his panic at the thought of having his poem published in the Turtle Lake Weekly, Richard agrees to the idea. Hannah immidiately accompanies him to the newspaper office. However, he flees ad Mr Garrison begins to read his poem. He fear Pa's reaction if his poem is printed.

When Tuesday arrives, Richar buys a copy of the newspaper and to his horror, sees his poem printed in the middle of page 3. As Pa gets his newspaper from his mailbox, Richard rushes to hide in his room.

Surprisingly, Pa calmly walks in and sits at the edge of Guy's bed. After a long silence, Pa begins to share about Uncle Rolamd who, like Gus, was a little reckless, and thought he was invincible. Sadly, Uncle Roland was the only war casualty in the Battle of El Garney on July 1 which America won. Pa breaks down and Richard reaches out to comfort him. "A world is gone! A world is dead and gone!" Pa had whispered to himself as Roland's body was lowered into the grave. "How didi you know those words?" ask Pa in a breaking a breaking voice. Richard remains silent because both of them finally understand why he writes poems.

The war in mid-November with an Allied victory . As winter approaches, Richard works at the farm and at school. He spends time with Hannah and her family and continues to write poems.

Soon his poems are regularly featured in the local weekly. Richard's father is now his consultant as his poems deal with farm life and Pa is an expert, Richard happy that Pa's ideas and suggestions are as helpful as Joyce Kilmer's had been.]]> 2017-07-11 04:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/noraishah_intan_othman/kr5d0ugrxhf4/wish/178445383 plot (chapter 9) https://padlet.com/noraishah_intan_othman/kr5d0ugrxhf4/wish/178919415 2017-07-18 03:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/noraishah_intan_othman/kr5d0ugrxhf4/wish/178919415
