Events that make me angry in novel dear Mr klimer

The novel that I studied was ‘Dear Mr Kilmer’ by Anne Schraff. An event that made me angry was when the Schermers’ tavern was vandalised. I was angry because of two reasons.

       In the novel, 'dear Mr klimer' , event that makes me angry is when hannah is bullied and ostracised in school due to racial prejudice. She is called a 'dirty hun' and her parents' tavern is vandalised by the townspeople. This makes me angry because although her parents come from Germany  I feel that hannah is an American. She is born in America and her parents have made America their home for a long time. In fact, even her brother is serving in the US army.
          
          Secondly, I was angry because Richard’s classmates were being unkind to the Schermers after the Schermers’s tavern was vandalisedMrs Hansen brought a card to express regret for what had happenedMrs Hansen asked her class to sign the card. The troublemakers like Abner, Harry, Blanche and Peggy refused to sign the card. They warned other classmates not to sign the card. The boys were afraid Abner and Harry would hit them. The girls worry that popular girls like Peggy and Blanche would not speak to them. However, Richard was the only student who signed the sympathy card for Hannah Schermer. After school, Richard took the card from Mrs Hansen. He wanted to give the card to Hannah. Hannah accepted the card reluctantly. Later, Hannah apologised to Richard for being rude. This was the beginning of their friendship.

In conclusion, the event where the Schermers was being mistreated infuriated me. I truly believed that discrimination was unjust.
