A good role model for teenagers was Richard. Richard was 15 years
old. He was tall, pale and slender. Richard was Mr Knights son. He
was Angie and Guss younger brother. He was Mr Kilmers penpal
and Hannahs best friend. He loved poetry. There were three reasons 4
why I chose Richard.
Firstly, he was kind. One day, Mrs Hansen asked her class to
sign a card for the Schermers. Someone vandalised the tavern owned
by Hannahs parents. They painted Dirty Huns all over the walls.
Mrs Hansen brought a card to express regret for what had happened.

The character I sympathized with was Hannah Schermer. There were
three reasons why I sympathized with her.

Firstly, her schoolmates called her Dirty Hun. They even
scrawled Dirty Hun all over her book cover. Some Turtle Lake
people believed that Huns were a barbaric clan originated from
Germany. They said that the Schermers were unpatriotic because they
spoke German and served Hun food at their tavern while a war was 4
going on against Germany. Starting from this incident, the Schermers
were always being mistreated by some of the Turtle Lake people.
