"Where the Red Fern Grows"

by Wilson Rawl

"I suppose there's a time in practically every young boy's life when he's affected by that wonderful disease of puppy love." Billy Coleman

The book is about a young boy love of coon huntin' and his first dog.

Billy, the main character in the book, called puppy love a disease, because it is "catchy" and you get infected with this disease from your first dog. But it is said that it is a wonderful disease. He is speaking of "puppy love" in it's truest sense, a boys love of his first dog.

Billy had worked at the tree for days. He had made progress, but he eas very discouraged. He had to do it for his dogs, but was about to quit when he remebered what is mom told him about God he will meet ypu half way there. He prayed to God and asked him to help. As soon as he finished, a great wind came and blew the tree over.

In "Where the Red Fern Grows," the dog, Old Dan, dies during the fight protecting his owner, Billy, from a mountain lion. Billy is also injured during the fight but survives.

The word "canebrake" appears in the sentence "Just beyond the bend in the river, the valley widened out and sloped up to meet the rolling hills, covered with a thick growth of canebrake and blackberry bushes." in the book "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls.

they wont hunt with any other person but them and old dan wont hunt without little and - love ya peps that r cheating ;3

I guess you might be asking about the "log trap." This is the trap that Billy's grandfather, Grandpa, taught him to make. He taught him that you find a hollow log, cut a hole in the top, then put some nails down in the hold. Put something shiny, like a piece of tin, down in the hole. Wait a few days while your human scent goes away. The coon will put his hand down the hole to pick up the shiny item, something no coon can resist. Once the coon picks it up, he will never, ever let go. The nails will hold his paw in place. All the coon has to do to escape is release the shiny item, but he won't. Instinct causes the coon to hang onto it forever, until the hunter arrives to kill the coon. Grandpa told Billy it's a fool-proof way to catch a coon that never fails. It's called a log trap. I guess that's what you are referring to.

Billy is trying to cut the Big Tree down, where a coon is trapped. It is the first coon his dogs have ever treed, and he doesn't want to let them down. But he is about to give up due to exhaustion. His Grandpa shows up and encourages Billy to not give up, but rather, just go rest & get some food for strength. He teaches Billy how to build a scarecrow to "guard" the tree for awhile, so that Billy can go rest up & get fed. Turns out, the scarecrow wasn't really necessary because Old Dan won't leave that tree for anything. Old Dan's persistence is what finally shows Mama that those dogs love to coon hunt more than anything in the world. Billy discovers later that even Little Ann kept guard at the Big Tree. Billy is stiff and sore, but keeps chopping that tree down because he can't disappoint his dogs. Blisters on his hands almost makes him give up and turn for home, but the scarecrow seems to taunt him, and he stays. He prays on his knees to God for help. Suddenly a gust of wind out of nowhere blows & pushes the tree down! The coon runs out and the dogs get their coon. Billy is so proud of his very first coonskin. Later he asks Pa if he thinks that God helped him by blowing the tree down, but Pa just isn't sure. Billy later is firmly convinced that God did help for sure.
