Speech About Billy

    “Where the Red Fern Grows” is about a boy about a boy named Billy who saves up enough money in two years to buy 2 dogs. Once he buys the dogs he teaches them how to hunt. Billy has a mom, dad, and 3 sisters. They aren’t wealthy, and they live away from the town.

    Billy is a Christian boy, his attitude is very good. When his parents can’t buy the dogs for him because they don’t have enough money he was sad but he understood that they couldn’t. Also instead of being mean to his siblings he is nice to his 3 sisters. He values his family and his two dogs. Billy’s effect on all the other characters is that he makes his parent’s proud by saving up all the money on his own and taking care of the dogs. If this was in the Dad’s point of view some parts of it would interesting because you could know what he is thinking about his son and what he thinks about the dogs. Or in the Mom’s point of view there would probably be a lot of worries but it wouldn’t make the story complete. The story being in Billy’s point of view is perfect because it shows how he bonds with the dogs.

    Billy reminds me of Katniss of the hunger games because they both aren’t scared of much. Billy wasn’t scared to sleep in the forest and Katniss wasn’t afraid of a lot when she was in the Games.
