At TAHLEQUAH
In a puppy breeding facility in Ky.
Billy's family was overjoyed and surprised by his return with the two hound puppies and gifts from town. They greeted him with warmth and excitement, happy to see the new additions to their family.
Yes, as older dogs. Little Ann protects Billy from a mountain lion and is mortality wounded. Old Dan mourns her and dies at her grave. Between the two graves a red fern grows because of their great love. If you are thinking about not finishing the book you will miss one of the most exciting and saddest endings in literature. Read it. I guarantee you will be glad you did.
Billy needed the coonskin to help train Dan and little Ann to hunt. Billy used the skin to entice Dan and little Ann to chase it and also associating the chase with the scent of the raccoon.
Papa is surprised because he did it quickly with his pups
Billy named the pups Little Ann and Old Dan in the book "Where the Red Fern Grows" because he wanted to honor his grandparents who helped him purchase the dogs. Little Ann was named after his grandmother, and Old Dan was named after his grandfather.
Billy Starts His Savings With Only 28 cents
Billy needed a coonskin to fulfill a promise he had made to his hunting dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann, that he would provide them with one if they treed a raccoon. In the story, the coonskin symbolizes Billy's deep bond with his dogs and his appreciation for their hunting skills.
Where billy prays to god and he helps him
imbred pups are little pups who parents are realted and the pups will most definitely have a organ or bone deformation as it grows and develops into an older dog
The conflict is that Billy (main character) wants 2 pups but doesn't have the money to buy them. Mama wants to move to the city so her kids can get a better education but they don't have enough money. actually the conflict is that Old Dan gets attacked by a mountain lion and later dies of to much blood loss (poor baby :( ) then Little Ann gets depressed cause of the loss of Old Dan and starves her self then dies of starvation.......yeah i hate the book (it's 2 sad) i had 2 read it in school...curse that heartless teacher of mine >:(
The moral of the book is to keep your loved ones close to your heart. They will always be there when things go wrong like when Billy's hounds died and they will help motivate to accomplish your goals. Also Little Ann and Old Dan were very close to each other and they would not hunt without the other one so they were very close too.
