One thing

Author note: The purpose of this piece is to write about a quote and why does it effect the story and characters.

“You told us to put one in tree and you would do the rest.” this quote is found on page 78 in the book Where The Red Fern Grows” by Wilson Rawls. That quote makes the reader think.It shows the main character(Billy) who is saying the quoets personality.It also shows how the main character Billy’s emotions change so easily.

Although the quote <>You told us to put one in tree and you would do the rest.” Doesn’t seem like it could take a big part of this book personally my belief is that it shows how the main character Billy who was saying this quote to himself went to an angry and ashamed toward his dogs just like he said on page 74 I’m ashamed of you little girl,To not wanting to give up Billy knew that he let his hounds down and mostly he let himself down for almost giving up.


Following about Billy’s emotions, this quote also showed how much the dogs have impacted him in his life so far. Billy learned that if he wanted something he had to work for it Billy learned to never give up just like he said “I don’t care how big you are, I’m not going to let my dogs down. I told them if they put a coon in the tree I would do the rest and I’m going to.” Found on page 78,His personality changes through the story he learns to be more responsiable probably because his hounds are something he is responiable for.


In conclusion the quote “You told us to put one in tree and you would do the rest.” Branches off into a bunch of little things that make the story what is it. Billy changes through out the story and when the reader reads that quote it makes them really think .Finally that’s how a quote has so much impact on a story, character .
