Billy Williams Character Traits

He then realizes that he does not know his family very well. This shows that his family is not perfectly happy or close. In Billy's life there is a superficial side of things, the people he socializes with are not truly his friends. They all are impressed with appearances, and how they appear to others. Billy seems like he is living the American dream when in reality he has gone through

Billy was loyal, he was loyal to his idea of having two dogs at the start of this tale and now he’s being loyal to listen to his promise with his dogs. He’s making sure that he does what he says. In this way he is always doing his best or as the theme suggests being persistent to following through with his word. Even though his arms and back felt horrible he kept going and even with the questioning of his father he didn’t back down. This ties into persistence because persistence means the following of a man’s(or woman) thoughts or ideas. Billy felt that he must complete the chopping of the tree even though his dad told him time and time again. He knew that he had to persist his way through. This is yet only one of the many times Rawls shows the true theme of this book.

Personally, I think I can relate to the suffering that Danny went through. Years ago, when I was a child and in my early teens I struggled so much with my relationship with my father. Just like Danny, I never had a good communication with my dad. If he ever talked to me it was to make me feel bad about myself if I did something wrong. If I wanted to share great news with him regarding to my school grades all I received was silence. My father’s actions towards me were hurtful. Even though I now know the reasons for his actions it still causes me suffering because I wish my childhood could have been more

Both girls obtain their own jobs to make their own money, but their fathers respond negatively towards their independence. When Jeanette works, her father “[slashes their piggybank] apart with a knife and [steals] all the money” (250). When Miranda works, her father is unappreciative and doesn’t understand why she needs a job. In addition, Jeanette's father tells many stories where he is always portrayed as the hero. However, time after time, he isn’t there for his children, and yet he still asks, “Have I ever let you down?” (248). Sadly, Jeanette never has the heart to tell her father that he has indeed let her down, several times. Her father makes many empty promises, like the glass castle for example. Her father told her he would build her a big, beautiful castle made of glass, but Jeannette’s hard work on the foundation ended up becoming a trash pile. Jeanette’s father also came home drunk many nights, where he would “[break] windows and [smash] dishes and furniture...then he’d look around at the mess and at [the] kids standing there.”

They called him a Jap-loving traitor.”(14) After the Pearl Harbor bombing every Japanese was a suspect and everyone who supported them were a traitor like Billy. He still stayed by Tomi`s side after the bombing and after everything that was lost. And he was trusted because of how loyal he was. Another example of how Billy is a loyal and trustworthy friend is when he helped Tomi bring his father`s sunken boat up from underwater like the rest of Tomi`s friends. “I’ve been thinking about it. It’s such a crazy idea it`s interesting. I still think it`s impossible…for us anyway…but forget that for a moment. I was thinking, what would the army have to say about it? I mean they put it there right”.(38) One day the both of them went to look at the ship like usual, when Tomi gets the idea to bring the ship back up and put it into service. Billy at first thinks it`s impossible and that they would need heavy equipment for it. But later on he helps Tomi and lets him know all

In chapter three of Where the Red Fern Grows, Billy’s mother told Billy that “God will help those that help themselves” (Rawls 3.18). This quote played a significant role in Billy’s life because throughout the book he perseveres through situations that most people would give up. For example, when Billy saved up the money for the dogs (3.17-24) it was his determination and his belief that God would help him if he helped himself (3.18) that got him to the point that he was able to afford the dogs. Part of Billy’s character is that he is kind and determined, but he is not only determined but he is thankful for everything he gets.

One theme of the story is having courage. Even in the hardest of time with a little courage, Bud overcomes the toughest of obstacles. This ten year old exemplified a strong backbone when he embarked on a 120-mile journey to Grand Rapids Michigan alone with no money or no food. If that does not show courage, I don’t know what does.

Will Hobbs, the author of the novel, has spent most of his novel to discuss about his characters by using figurative language to describe them and how hard they have been through, not only his main character, but for all of his characters, and quietly tell his messages to the readers after every problem ends.

A lesson I took from the story about achieving success is that no matter what obstacle you encounter, you need to keep pushing forward to your end goal and beyond. Certain situations can cause us to pause or if they’re severe to completely give up on our goals.

In the process of growing up as a child, Daniel admired his grandfather and specially all the effort and dedication he put into his jobs. His grandfather was always a man of determination, and used to work very late to bring food to his family, but always showing a big smile always inspire his grandsons. Daniel also describes his childhood as very usual of having friends, playing with his twin brother and exploring the world. The best memory of Daniel during his childhood was when he received his first dog. Even though it was just a little pet he got, he never taught he could get one of his own. On the other side, one of the worst experience in his life was on a thanksgiving dinner at his aunt house when he was 11 years old. Daniel and his twin were dressed up very nicely for the dinner and playing around the backyard with a stick. All of a sudden his twin brother push him with the stick and make him fall into the pool. Therefore, Daniel got all his clothes wet and his mother was very upset and blaming Daniel for the

The first really big trait that William has is he is creative. He likes to create things for at his house. The second big trait he has is that he is very helpful. He is always helping out his family with everything. From his parents to his dog.
