Dear Rudyard Kipling,
Father has consistently tried to instill(灌输) a sense of being a man in me ever since I was very young. When I reachedthe age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. He told me this tough job would build me into a man of character. But this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem,
If.
