- 1 answer
Little ANN wanted to catch a raccoon, and she chased it, but the coon did a trick on her and Big Dan, so she nearly drowned, but was saved.(i think it was something like that)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thats not such a good answer. Little Ann was found by Old Dan. She was chasing the coon (Raccoon) and yes it did play a trick on her. She was running on ice and it broke and she ended up holding on to the ice with 2 paws while the rest of her body was paralyzed from the cold. Billy saved her by using his lantern at the end of a stick to see her and grabbed a piece of barbed wire that he used for a leash for Old Dan and Litte Ann and threw it at her constanly until it caught on her collar and then he pulled her out.

The book "Where the Red Fern Grows" is about a boy named Billy who saves up his money to buy two hunting hounds. When he gets enough money he goes to town on foot to buy them, a girl and a boy. On the way back he sleeps in a cave as a mountain lion screeches as it get closer. Billy rebuilds the fire and the lion is scared away. Little Ann has the brains and Old Dan has the strength. He trains them to be hunting dogs and they become the best in the country only hunting together as 3. Billy later enters the dogs into a coon hunting competition and they win. One night they go after what Billy thought was a coon. Turns out it was a mountain lion. The dogs are determined to kill it and the lion wasn't going to give up. Luckily, Billy has an axe with him and he kills him after many tries. When the fight is over, Old Dan and Little Ann are beat up. Unfortunately Old Dan's injuries are too fierce and he dies the next day. Little Ann is so upset she stops eating and dies a week after. Billy buries them side by side overlooking the hunting forests and a year later his family decides to move into the city.

Where The Red Fern Grows - A Novel By Wilson Rawls.
Where The Red Fern Grows is a novel written by the American writer, Wilson Rawls. It tells the fantastic tale of a boy and his two dogs which can be read as delightfully as reading a beautiful poem. They are a lovely threesome. Old Dan had physical strength, little Ann had intelligence and the boy, Billy trained them in coon- hunting as fur was one of the main revenues of the inhabitants of the Cherokee Nation in those times. They made the finest hunting team in that wild country. They even won coon-hunting championships. They will track the smell and footprints and tree a coon. The skillful coon will come down any day or time and they patiently will wait. Sometimes the clever coon will jump into the river, cross and recross and disappear, deceiving the team by leaving not a trace. Only intelligent dogs could coon-hunt and succeed. When the dogs sacrificed their lives for rescuing Billy from a Mountain Lion attack, Billy buried them in a sandstone ledge. A few months later when Billy along with his papa, mamma and two sisters were leaving the Ozarks village forever, he went to the sandstone ledge to pay his last homage. It was then that he saw that sight! 'There between the two graves, a beautiful red fern had grown from the rich mountain soil, fully two feet tall with it's long red leaves reaching out in rainbow arches, curving over the graves of his dogs'. Nature's homage to the unforgettable pair!
Red Ferns are very rare to grow and where one grows, that spot is sacred. Only an angel can plant the seeds of a red fern, and they never die. The aborigins and the Indians of the wild west had a legend that in Winter, a little Indian boy and a girl were lost in a blizzard and were frozen to death. In Spring when they were found, a beautiful red fern had grown up between their two bodies, embracing them.
To understand the spirit of the story, one has to know the background of Wilson Rawls. He was born and lived in the Ozarks Mountains of the Cherokee Nation, where he roamed the hills and valleys with his only companion-his dog. It is said that his first writings were done with his fingers in the dust of the country roads and the sands along the river and that his first stories were told to his dog, who never complained.He could get proper schooling and access to real books only after his family moved to Oklahoma.
Where The Red Fern Grows was first published in 1961 by the Curtis Publishing Company. Doubleday and Bantam have issued editions. It certainly is a book to read and is a modern classic. It has since been made into a beautiful motion picture.

What is the conflict in the book Where the Red Fern Grows?
- 1 answer
There are two types of conflict. One's psychological. It deals with the conflict between Billy Coleman and his parents over spending money. In tight times, Billy's parents want to make sure that survival needs are met. They don't want to pay for frills, or take chances on something so risky as coon-hunting dogs. The other conflict's physical. And there are two main examples. One's the ghost coon hunting contest between Billy's dogs, and the dogs belonging to Rainie and Rubin Pritchard. Billy's dogs Old Dan and Little Annie win. But Billy doesn't want to kill the coon. So the Pritchard dogs fight Billy's dogs, and the Pritchard boys fight Billy. The conflict ends with Rubin falling on his own axe. The second physical conflict's the treeing of the mountain lion. The lion leaps at Billy. The conflict ends with Old Dan killing the lion, saving Billy's life, and dying later that night from his wounds.
