Redbone Coonhound

The movie, Where the Red Fern Grows, was a movie which did not live up to the high expectations set by the book. The novel, Where the Red Fern Grows, is a story about a country boy named Billy Colman, who hunts coons in the Ozarks with his loyal redbone hounds. It is a story of friendship, love, loyalty, and adventure. However, tragedy strikes and Billy is forced to change from a young boy to a man.

There is a saying, “a dog is a man's’ best friend”. In the book Where The Red Fern Grows,by Wilson Rawls, Billy Coleman is a young boy who wants nothing other than two Redbone coonhounds and to hunt in the Ozark Mountains with them.

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.

One of the authors theme was Determination. Nearly every action by Billy and his dogs is an exercise in determination. To start with, Billy demonstrates determination in getting his dogs, he works jobs for two years to save up enough money to buy the hounds, then walks through the night to pick up his hounds. Little Ann does not lose the trail of a coon, and Old Dan never gives up the chase. Old Dan is determined until the very end, Billy must pry away his jaws from the mountain lion. Only after

The first scene where Billy first shows that hard work pays off is when he decides he wants coonhounds. Billy knows that his parents can not get him the dogs, so that is when Billy decides he needs to save up for the dogs himself. This supports the theme because this evidence states that he needs to work very hard in order to get the pups. Billy is very persistent in working day and night for his soon to come pups. Billy works for 2 years in order to get his pups which takes a lot of persistence

The theme I used in the last one didn’t tie into the story as much but the new quote is about perseverance and it does tie into the story. The way the new theme ties into the story is how Billy is determined to get both of the coon dogs and everyday he slowly progressed even more and he tried again tomorrow, and the day after, until he got enough money to get the coon dogs (Which took him two years).
