Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good book, about a boy who goes through many hardships,and much happiness with his two best friends, Ol' Dan and Li'l Ann. They were very special friends, not only because they were extremely cute, kind, and willing to do everything the boy, Billy, wanted but also because they were dogs! And they were loyal 'till death. It is very sad, and happy at the same time. Even though it was sad, it is still one of my favorite books. I really enjoyed it. Book Review: Where the Red Fern Grows
Summary: 4 Stars
Bill, Big Dan, and Little Ann were on their way to the backyard woods, and coon season had just come in. "Get'em Dan, come on Ann you're slackin," stated Billy chasing the coon. Up the hill and around the tree trunk they go. "That'a boy. We got him in the tree," said Billy right before he took a shot. On their way home, they were side tracked by a movement in the bushes off to the side. Billy got closer and closer until he heard a growl. Right the =n and there the young boy and his dogs knew something wasn't right.
In Wichita, Oklahoma wilson Rawls wrote this very emotional, suspectful book. This book is also an action fulfilled book. "Knowing that he was in trouble, Billy scurries into the woods careless." Billy was a young hunter ready to take on any obstacle in his way. His father and grandpa are very alik. Thet6 are both hard workers and both don't stop until the job is finished. HIs mother is very loving and careing.
Throughout his book Rawls is very realistic. He is emotional at times, but always interacts with a humerous or action fulfilled event. He's not always stuck on one feelinged event he switches each and every time you read the next page. "Where the Red Fern Grows" is a lot like "Shiloh" and "Old Yeller." Old Yeller, Shiloh, and Where the Red Fern Grows all have something to do with a boy and his dogs, and something bad happeninf to the both of them. In all these books, the endings are different from each other, but they are all outstanding books to read. The author don;t exactly use a whole bunch of medaohors, but the authors style fits many of what his readers expected.
While reading the book, I couldn't stop when I wanted to. THere was so much going on and so many things happening too. Once one thing ended another happened. The book is very interesting and action filfilled.
"Where the Red Fern Grows" is an action fulfilled book that all hunters and folks thata like books that keep you suspecting should read. I advise you deeply to read "Where the Red Fern Grows." If you like this book than try "Old Yeller" and "Shiloh."
Book Review: Where the Red Fern Grows - Wilson Rawls
Summary: 4 Stars
What I liked about the plot of this story, and the main characters is that it teaches you to be thankful for what you have. In this book Billy Coleman has always wanted a pair of fine hunting dogs, but his family and him could never really afford it. So for two years Billy works his butt off so he could finally get enough money to get those dogs. When he gets the dogs he trains them, and teaches them how to hunt. They even end up winning a big hunting tournament. As Billy and his family are getting ready to move, he takes his dogs hunting one last time, and as they are hunting, they come across a mountain lion which tries to attack Billy. But thankfully Billy's dog Old Dan runs across and saves him before the mountain lion can get him. Old Dan suffers fatul wounds and ends up dying, and pretty soon his other dog Little Ann dies of starvation because she misses Old Dan so much. Billy really loves his dogs, and goes to see their graves one more time before they move, and he spots red ferns growing on them which is a sign angels are with them. I thought Billy was a great kid who was really caring, and kind. His parents were also really helpful because they supported him for everything he did. This is a great family book, and you will enjoy reading it.
For this project I myself think I could have done a little better. For example, I should have tried to find better pictures for my kids book. I thought they were sloppy, and a little crooked, this would help out for the neatness of my rubric score. Another thing I could have done for my presentation is try to be more enthusiastic, I probably bored people in their seats with my monotone voice. But overall this is what I think I need to improve on.
The kind of student that I would recommend this book to is a person who likes, and enjoys animals. I think they'd enjoy this because it deals with a 10 year old kids love, and happiness between him and his dogs. I would also recommend this book to a student who likes hunting. This book is mostly about hunting coons, and it even states in the book how to catch a coon. You'll love this if your trying to learn how to catch a coon. These are the type of students that I would recommend this book to.
Book Review: Where The Red Fern Grows
Summary: 5 Stars
Wilson Rawls wrote a book called Where the Red Fern Grows and I think that everyone in the world should read this book. In this book, a boy, named Billy, lives in the woods with his family. He saves money for two dogs. They go on adventures and have horrible frights. I had to read this book because of a school assignment, but I am so glad that I read it. This book will keep you on the edge of you seat. It is able to capture the minds of kids ages 10 and up and especially people who like relationship books.
The plot in this book is the best part. The plot makes you want to jump up and say something to warn the character, like when the boy encounters a bob cat and his dogs save him. The second thing that I would say is the best is the setting. Where he lives is remote and in the country. That's where I would want to live. I didn't like the way it ended though. It was too sudden and I wanted more.
I loved this book. I would read it all the time if I had the chance. This book made me so emotional it even made me cry, laugh, and gasp at the events that happened in the book. Read this book. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
